    Hmm. Electrician is running late so I've made tea, kiddies were getting hungry. I'll save mine for after. He will just have to cope with a kitchen that smells like curry:p

    So I'm having a brew while I wait. I've tidied as I cooked so no mess just a pan on the hob.

    All tidy here - for how long??? :D

    Phew what a scorcher. We have had dizzy' weather again.


    Thank you for the lists X


    Bought a new item on eBay and have had to wash it 4x to get the smell of smoke out of it.
    Sold an item and had a nightmare of a transaction . I may have a break from selling as I wasted a whole day trying to sort it out.

    House dysoned
    LR dusted

    Garden watered
    4x Wm dried outside
    Parents' freezer defrosted (took hours) I had to move several big fish. Trout I was told as I dropped one and shrieked (I'm scared of fish like some are of spiders)
    A few frogs eaten

    Hope you are in less pain CY X
    Well done Ionafan. Hope you got car sorted. X
    Valli Good luck with inspectors. Hugs and shoo to bd. Hope you have some good news soon X

    Evening all,

    A very tired ATB checking in. We had my friend round with her two kiddies (2 and 1), and had a little garden party with them. Lots of messy water play, ice lollies and picnics had. All four kids were flagging by 4pm and my friend said her hubby was away tonight, so we whisked them all into the bath and I cooked their tea. They went home in borrowed Pjs fed & clean all ready for bed.

    I've cleared up the chaos, eaten tea and have collapsed on the sofa in a heap.

    Have lovely evenings all, I'll check in properly first thing xx
    MFW :)

    Electrician been and done his survey and will email the plan in the next few days :T
    Need to book in my stepdad for plastering - sparky said the removals guys will come on the Thursday morning, he will come and move sockets etc in the afternoon and the plastering to be done Fri / Sat so they can begin the fitting on the Monday! Sounds like a plan!

    So I need to speak to stepdad and ask what he wants doing about the radiator. I guess we have it taken off and the pipework moved, then have the new radiator installed after plastering and fitting and painting. It won't matter if we are without a radiator for a few weeks... Just need to choose a new one and find a plumber! Although the lady at the kitchen place says they have one who will do it...

    All I need to do tonight is put leftover curry away and have a shower :T

    Morning all

    I did read yesterday but didnt post, it was a long and busy day. I didnt sleep well last night, lots of my mind.

    The car is going into the garage today so we are all relying on DH to get us where we need to be and back! Keep everything crossed for me that the car is sorted by the end of the day and doesnt cost too much.

    Things are reasonably tidy here but I have just put the bin out and it is only 3/4 full so just going to see if there is anything lurking about that could go in it!

    Then I need to shower and get ready for the paid stuff. Have a nice Wednesday everyone!
