    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 List :D
  • 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.

    Evening all

    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.


    Thursday Bathroom
    Clean floor
    Clean baths, toilets and sinks
    Wipe down tiles in bathroom
    Extra mission: Pick whichever you want to attempt:
    Wipe the skirtings, door and window frames in these rooms


    Gws vibes, hugs, sticks and spoons for all needing some

    Hope you all have a fabulous Friday

    Very nice pigpen!

    Tgif ! Dd2 is so v v tired this week and Dd1 had a cry after beavers last night as she is moving up to cubs next week and she's a bit worried.

    Last night I put a wash on, did washing up and loaded dw. Then I sat n knitted for an hour!

    Today should definitely be more productive. Downstairs loo in dire straits!

    Off to work today first and have to do relief at another library so a bit of a hassle. Never mind.

    Hope everyone has a good sat x
