Morning all

four loads on washing line in the sunshine and breeze

3 calls from 'Microsoft tech support'

he told me that my computer, for which he had the ID (or some such phrase) had been sending them messages. Asked him to tell me the ID. Then I told him it was wrong, it didn't match mine! He then poo-poohed the idea that I would even know the ID. (He got me there, I was bluffing...) I ended the call. He called again. And again. On the third call I asked him if he was aware it was and offence to harrass by continually telephoning and suggested he stopped calling.

DD is going out with her dad shortly.

Plan -

clean DR
clean BR
iron (there's already a full basket:eek:)

Hope all get all problems sorted ASAP

I love my dentist receptionist, just leaving the house grabbed ds2s appt arrg nit 10.30 but 10am!! I was already 5 mins late! Grovelling phone call to ask if it was too late to still rush down and she said they are really busy but no prob she will squeeze him in this afternoon when it's less hectic. She is such a sweet girl.
Ds2 has helped work out how to disassemble the lazeboy as its moving into the garage for a week so the table can move.
Upstairs and stairs all dysoned, holiday deposit sorted. Just need to run shops with a last minute card. Ds2 now on wrapping duty for his gifts then doing his room before Xbox goes on.
Almost back on track after that setback.

Aaaaargh - Z still asleep and I badly need to vacuum!!! Will have to find other bits to do without disturbing HRH Princess Z. Teenagers eh ....

mrs-moneypenny

Thank you natty and everyone for the bundle of cards that have just arrived. (For some reason I'm Mrs Moneysaver on the card list) but most guessed it was me and change it to moneypenny. Will save then and open later with a coffee as my me time.
Just ungrateful a load of washing out, it's actually lovely here.

I was listening to Christmas songs but compromise with ds2 is we can listen to Frank turner if he pulls his weight. ( I'm secretly enjoying it) so win win situation

Mumof2 that's how I got ds2 out of his pit dysoning the landing. I don't want him laying in too much or he will still be wide awake when Santa does the stocking run tomorrow night.

To be fair she was really tired when she got back from choir trip to Holland and does have a lot of sleep to catch up on. We've got an early start tomorrow (8ish) to get down to outlaws and drop off dogs by 12 when the kennels close. I'll give her a bit longer and then fire up the Dyson.
