    Evening all

    Thank you for this week's thread Natty and thank you Pigpen for last week's

    I'm in for the week again but also have loads of other 'stuff' to do starting with a marathon cook-in to restock the freezer.

    BTW - for all of you sweltering in the heat - we still have the heating on :eek:

    Valli and Pigpen - I'm here for both of you to rant and rail at. I may only be little but I have strong shoulders!

    Just caught and released (against my better judgement) the third jackdaw to fly down the middle room chimney this week. I think they're trying to build a nest...might get next door round with his shotgun to scare them off...

    I plan to fly until the heat gets me. So, about half an hour then...

    Good Morning All,

    I am in again, thank you for the lists lovelies xx

    Lovely and warm here in Leeds! We had a fab day out yesterday at Bolton Abbey, but I was so busy making sure the kids didn't burn that I managed to turn a rather fetching shade of pink.

    Just dispatched DH to work with his packed lunch, unloaded and reloaded DW and the WM is doing its thing. We are out of milk so the kiddies are having pikelets and yoghurts for breakfast.

    Big hugs to Valli and Piggers xx

    We go away on Friday for a few days so I will be rigidly sticking to the lists this week to make sure its all done. First job though is nipping to Ald! for some bits and a trip to the post office that didn't get done on Saturday.

    The kids were really hot and bothered yesterday so I will set them up with some water play in the shade when we get back. Chicken and chorizo pasta for tea.

    Have lovely days all xx
    MFW :)

    Morning all.

    Hugs for Valli, and Piggers (even though you don't do them.)
    Narco, your flower arrangement is beginning to sound like Trigger's broom.

    OK, so Natty, thanks for the list. I am sort of in as I'm still of work. Today we were planning to go off somewhere, but I think I'll suggest just pottering in the garden and enjoying the sunshine again.

    So my plan:
    Do some jobs in the LR from the list
    Have breakfast
    Wash up
    Gym
    Shower
    Walk dogs
    Change bedding
    Hoover through (haha, like I'll find time for this in the heat)
    Pottering in the garden
    Meal out (my concession to going out today)

    Have a great day everyone.

    Just seen ATBs post and now fancy exploring Bolton Abbey, we will see!
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Morning all.

    Valli - *massive hugs*
    Pigpen - Hugs to you as well even though you don't do them.

    Lots to do this week for work, but first priority today needs to be running errands to h0mebargains before it gets too warm. Then when I get back I'll run out to school to drop books off and carry on to Mr A to pick up the soap powder & fabric conditioner I forgot yesterday :oOnce I get home I need to tackle the stack of paid stuff I've put off over half term. There's loads of it :o

    This morning we've stripped beds, I've hung out a load of almost dry washing and managed to do another load. DD has gone off to school slightly confused as to how she's ended up with so much free time this morning since she decided to read instead of going on her phone to play games etc ;) Zack has spent the morning confused at how productive DD was being and munching icecubes. I'll need to put more in later as he's nearly been through a tray already as I've added them to his water bowl to cool that down.

    Personal:
    Sort bookmarks (already did this once and the browser threw a wobbler and deleted them all so I had to reinstall them from a backup :()

    Transfer money
    Claim rewards from websites (LP, S&S)
    Clear sticky note collection from calender/wall
    Print Oct/Nov/Dec calenders
    Make icecubes x2

    Work:
    Calling book
    Do campaign accounts
    Text J re glasses
    Chase ebook customer up about when to deliver
    Returns
    Sort cupboard out
    Start doing invoice detailing on computer accounts record

    Morning!


    Thanks for the list's, I'm in!


    Kiddies away to school and I'm a "stay at home mum" now :T


    Popped to Home [EMAIL="B@rgains"]B@rgains[/EMAIL] for a few bits, then home for an appointment with the insurance broker. Need to nip to @ldi when the washer finishes so I think I'll crack on with the LR while I'm waiting.


    Everything else off my personal list is done so later I might be able to start on the garage / office :D


    Hugs to all having a carpy time xx
