  • Thanks BusyMee for popping in, it's looking a bit overcast here too.

    I've started with the ironing mountain but seem to have misplaced a box of 10 lint rollers. There can't be that many places for them to hide, but they are hiding very successfully!
  • You have to say "lint rollers, lint rollers, lint rollers" then they will appear.

    They still haven't appeared, but I've not looked anywhere apart from in my wardrobe after chanting - I was kind of hoping they would just appear in the middle of the bedroom floor :rotfl:

    A friend has just returned from horsey camp and I'm quite tempted to go next year.

    Did an online shop last night to come today and a very rough mealplan, so should keep us going.

    You have to accept that in order to find said roller, the best method is to buy a new one. Then on return from shops the old one will magically appear in the place you thought they were in the first place...!

    I think you might be right SJ! I try to avoid the shops at all costs so it will have to wait for a while I think.

    Dog lost his tag whilst out on a walk so I decided to buy 2 from fleabay so I had one spare for next time he lost it. Only 1 turned up so had to chase that up. Food arrived, pony & dog walked, CP & SB updated. DH had a great idea for a new business - just wish there was enough hours to do it at some point!

    These weekends fly by far too fast. 4x4 had some tlc (grease,oil etc) yesterday after passing MoT. About 75% ironing mountain completed and 75% of accounts updated. Dog & pony walked. All filing done, need to look at breakdown cover before it auto renews at the end of the month. It seems very high. Also a small second ISA matures 1st June so will look at moving it in with the main one then.

    They definitely do!! I think this week seems worse since last week was a long weekend....although whatever the length it's never enough ;)

    Well done on getting the bulk of your ironing mountain done. I have mine to tackle yet....

    these weeks seem to be going far too quickly, I don't get many weekends off, but this year seems to be racing through.
    I stopped ironing years ago,,, currently I have to do my uniform... however #OH does that for me :)

    That's what I was thinking SHS!
    I feel I achieved a fair bit this weekend, although I seem to have added more onto my 'to-do' list than I have crossed off.
