The meeting only lasted just over an hour, so I have been able to paint thr rnsuite ceiling. I will probably get away with just the one coat, but I've left the stepladder and dustcloths out in case it looks in need of a second coat tomorrow.
Hopefully that's another job crossed off my Toots List0 -
Evening all,
Just checking in to say hello and that nothing done today except dailies. Sometimes everything is too busy.
LW there is no excuse for the way this person treated you. I think a complaint would be justified if you can face it.
FBO these sorts of things happen to me sometimes, often in clumps. I pulled the sliding wardrobe door off its runners today (for the hundredth time - OH just rolls his eyes).
iona Well done re painting
cy, how are you?
Bossy , take heart, it's nearly the weekend.0 -

Yippee - I have finished all the accounts for last year and put away.
Have also cleared the paper hotspot, binned to recycling and shredded as appropriate. Just a small amount of stuff to file away left on desk - try to do before Monday (honest).
Am going up the town the morrow - whatever the weather. Fed-up with the cold and grey but have a few things now becoming urgent to be done. If it's pouring I'll get the bus - if not I'll walk along the promenade up and through town on the way back. At least the shops will be warm and bright.
