    Thank you for the threads xxx

    Valli be safe

    WM is on
    Cat is fed, he has scratched his neck, from a wound he had when he arrived with me, so I am going to ring the vets and get him an appointment, just for the them to check he hasn't got some thing else as it is taking an age to heal up. I am sure the cat is going to be very happy to go on a car ride, gloves and thick coat at the ready to box him..............................

    Girls hoofed out to school.. 3.5 weeks until easter holidays :D not sure if OH is planning on going to his mothers or not... even if just good Friday until Monday or Tuesday.. I'll nag him when he gets back... though I wonder if I should ask his mother is his sister is still behaving like a FW or if she can be elsewhere.. she'll only lie anyway probably.. maybe I'll not bother :p I just can't do walking about days out and the girls will have cabin fever if we stay here because he won't go anywhere usually.

I'm feeling a little off today so I'll do some training with Zack this afternoon rather than taking him for a walk as I don't want to stray too far from the house :o Its a quiet week as in I don't have to go anywhere really except to collect books from school this afternoon but I have lots of admin for work to do again. I seem to spend more time doing admin for work than I do anything else lately.

    This week:
    Mon: Collect school books
    Tue: Update personal accounts/Transfer money, Order in for work, remind DD to text her step-mum

    Personal:
    Demould hall (incl front door), livingroom, kitchen :(
    Iron blinds
    Chase DD to clean her shoes with polish not just quickshine

    Sort books
    Pay bill
    Orders

    I better go and hang the washing out. I suspect it'll take most of the day to dry as its not going to feel much above freezing today apparently. :wave:

    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    Morning all. Thanks for the list Natty, I'm in, of sorts.
    Welcome back Dusty. Hope you get Pixie sorted soon Piggers.

    So this morning I have liberally applied deep heat to my leg, had a warming pack on all night too, taken very strong painkillers and have achieved:

    Washing up
    Paperwork
    Dusting dusty bits in LR
    Dog walk to the baker for rolls
    Quick hoover downstairs
    One washload done

    I don't know how some of you cope with your aches and pains, my pain threshold is really low, and DH found me to be a right pain yesterday.

    Anyway, paid stuff now beckons. Catch you all later.

    Have a great day everyone.
    Spend less now, work less later.
  • In this week, I was ill last week and my house is a mess, makes me actually realise that doing this flying had been working :)
    Still feeling blah but my house needs a clean.

    Well I asked OH if he was planning on going to his mothers at easter and got the long suffering 'I'd rather die' huff as reply.. thats not very helpful at all. it takes me a week to pack. I'd quite like to go just for a shower!

    Heading into the kitchen for food and a cuppa then will get dinner sorted and maybe tomorrows too!

    I have packed

    I have also rooted out, to take into work, a load more bulldog clips and some highlighters which originally came from work (used to use to highlight planning) - they can have them back. Bulldog clip came from sisters in the first place - I took them off her because she had too many many years ago!

    Last week, at my sisters, we flung no end of pens (for her to take to the pub quiz) and it has made me realise I am a stationery hoarder. Stuff will leave Villa Valli!
