- get hubby to paint shelves if paint turns up
- wonder if hubby would varnish radiator cabinet for me ??
- get hubby to cut grass (he's going to hate me!)
- send hubby off to B&Q for loft boards that he wants, to shut him up . Its so not a priority for me LOL
- clear debris from under bench in garden
- sweep patio
- weed paths and put down some weedkiller stuff
- re-bark chip garden paths
- fill bark chip bags with old soil as they are used to weigh down swing LOL
- tidy up weed ridden pots

- beg hubby to dig me a new flowerbed

I do so little gardening I have no clue how long this will take!!! So if I have time and energy left I would like to hem and line DD curtains that are looking a bit sad at the moment.

Thats it! Will be amazing if I get even a third of that done

Oh are the Adams near you still open Pigpen? All the ones here shut down when they hit their financial problems, even the metro centre one closed, I think the Darlington one is the only one open now, wouldn't care the stuff is nice too. I used to always convert my Nectar points to use there as you got double, I actually had to spend cash on uniform tops/trousers etc this year

Ours was still open 2 weeks ago when I was up there.. ordering online now though.. cos I can!!

S'pose I best go get as shower if I am being dragged out.. I just want to go to bed.. I've got loads to do tomorrow!!! Mean husband.. naughty husband!!! lol

See you all tomorrow.. probably about lunchtime.. after I've kicked hubby out of bed and had a long SNOOOOOOOOZE in relative peace!!

Now Jill, I'm tired just reading that, needs to be more 'get DP to.......' on there, if you do all that in one day you'll make yourself ill! I don't need to shout DO I!!

Tuesday is the BBQ, burgers, sausages and chicken kebabs but cooking for 30 rather than 4

DP might be in early, too much fighting in town, people throwing glasses and road signs across the street, oh what fun! He's gone in for extra cash (after using 32 hours! of calls on his mobile, bill of £138 for the month) but sometimes just isn't worth the agro!

Pigpen just looked on the website, it's changed since I last looked, mini mode on there too now, wonder if Boots have taken over? Might have to go have a mooch and see what I can find, don't keep up with the business news as much lately.

Myriad Childrenswear Group Ltd, formerly Adams Childrenswear Group Ltd, ah becomes a little clearer.

In fact news in general, I didn't know they were moving the legal age to buy cigarettes to 18 from the 1st of October.

Evening all.

I'm in.

Had an energetic day. Cycled nearly 16 miles along the Tissington trail, which is a disused railway. Really exhilirating, but i think my bum will be sore for the rest of the week. :rolleyes:

Then, when we got back, DH washed both cars while i dealt with Charlie and discovered that some low life has tried to steal my car by drilling the drivers lock, so the lock is completely knackered. Not sure when as i usually unlock on the passenger side to put charlie in 1st and it is central locking. :mad: Can't have anything without some druggie trying to steal it, and it was probably while i was visiting my aunty as that is the dodgiest place i have parked.

Anyway, rang mum to get her to check their cars, and i am the only unlucky one.

Mega list for me for tomorrow as DH is around and the house definitely needs it.

Just looked, in Tyne and Wear there is one in Washington, Sunderland and South Shields. Makes less of a difference now with Nectar not doing the vouchers, what happened was I got £100 worth converted then someone in store when I said I was saving them she said don't as I don't know how long we'll be here for or how long I have a job for upsetting really you could see she was so upset. I also was worried about taking things back so bought much bigger stuff.

:rotfl: I only remembered the microwave because mine is icky, it's not the side, it's the roof. Go on put your head in and look under :rotfl: or do what I did and drop something then look up and screamed is it as bad as mine ? I was nearly sick, urgh! How do I always miss the top?!

Michelle sorry to hear about the car, does make you wonder when it's been done doesn't it if you don't use it. I heard some rifraf after the agro with the neighbour say to him 'I'll torch their car if ya want like' not druggies just little horrid vandals, apart from the fact he'd probably be doing me a favour as having no luck selling it (saying that only advertised it this week) p*ssed me off a treat, don't think anyone has any respect these days. Oh and hope you can walk ok in the morning, sounds painful, I'm not looking forward to getting back on a bike because of the initial 'saddle sore bum!'

Off to find somewhere to moan to about 3G, got DP a contract with them, they said the coverage was great, he's lost about £50 in bookings tonight due to lack of service! He's a little 'narked' to say the least.

I'm in too this week. Thanks for the new thread, Lil_me.

Just been catching up on the old thread and this evenings going on. Hugs all round and fuming on your behalves (is that a word?) at all the injustice going on.
Had a nice evening with my Bro and SIL yesterday, once they finally arrived. Had a little chat with my future niece/nephew I think broody by proxy is more my thing.

Work all day today so no Flying and a quick tart up for a BBQ straight after. I left just as the drinkers were starting to peak.Quite honestly, I'm fed up with having company but my folks are coming across tomorrow too. Hopefully I'll get some time to myself in the evening. Shouldn't complain but it's feast or famine visitors-wise. Think I'm getting old and set in my ways :rotfl: The Stinky Cat Lady life I used to dread seems appealing. Or that poem by Jenny Joseph if you know it. Warning I think it's called.

Right off to bed. Catch up tomorrow evening.
Take it easy folks.
