    Morning all.

    Piggers: hope you got a decent nights sleep for a change with minimal interuptions.

    Today, I will be really busy so flying will just be the basics like washing up, although I do already have a load in the WM. So I'm taking an elderly neighbour out for the morning, then might pop to church open day, have some buffet items to prepare for bowls this afternoon (eggs already boiled).

    Just eating breakfast, then must take LittleyDog for her walk.

    Tomorrow will be just gardening. Judging is next week.

    Have a great day everyone.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Morning!

    First breakfast in new kitchen, huge success :D kiddies sat at breakfast bar (stools too high, lol) and our second, unnecessary pan drawer is our breakfast drawer and has all our cups, bowls, Cereals and so on. I stood and had coffee with them and we had a family natter about what we are doing today, without me having to disappear off into a different room.

    Lovely :D

    They've investigated all pully-out cupboards and found the "hiding" washing machine lol. Quite a novelty for us all...

    Washer is going already heheh - mount washmore to be conquered...

    Your kitchen sounds lovely Bossy - can't wait for mine, although it could be some time coming...

    ATB - hope the family visits go well. Don't stress about your house. They're coming to visit Grandad, not give you marks out of ten for your hoovering skills.

    Get your earplugs out Kaz - sounds like a real party over your way!

    Well, it's Small's Spring Fair this afternoon and guess what? It's pouring down. Just typical. Yesterday was glorious :mad: Must summon up enthusiasm and go....all in a good cause etc...

    Climbed back into bed with my tea and shoved the boys in the playroom with instructions not to bite each other...

    Morning all!
    What a week! Worked full time but was in one class all day and with one class for 3 of them. This will pay for the car mot, service and new exhaust but there you go.
    Up with the lark (assuming said lark has had a lie in) and have had a :coffee: so feel human.
    Starting by renewing my redness hair wise before cleaning the
    Bathroom
    Kitchen
    In fact as much of the house as I can.
    Also got paperwork to attend to.

    Came in last night to be asked did I want a pins. DS much amused by my very enthusiastic YEAH!
    And his gf made tea.
    So I did very little...

    Hoping next week will be quieter

    And, in two weeks,

    Morning all.

    Sorry I've not caught up properly. Hugs, sticks, spoons etc to all.

    I spent the whole of yesterday doing my accounts because I kept having to get up and walk around to stop my knee seizing up and my thigh/hip hurting after my fall the other day. If I sit too long I can't walk properly when I next stand up. I also have what I call phantom bruises, I can feel the bruise is there but there's nothing visible. However in a couple of days I'll get that lovely yellowing of a fading bruise appear and hang around for a few days. At least I didn't break anything :rotfl:

    Yesterday DD did some flying when she got home, so the kitchen has been S&S, the clothing laundry is done (although I was the one to finish that at midnight!) and she ran the vacuum over the livingroom/kitchen. Apart from that not much has happened this week.

    Today DD has gone off to the lakes with ex to see family, so I'm spending the day finishing my accounts (which hopefully will go a lot smoother and quicker now I'm past the busy Christmas period), and this afternoon I'm going for another long hot soak in the bath to see if that can relieve the remaining niggle in my leg. My to do list with the deadline of Monday is massive, and I have work on Monday so it's going to be all hands on deck with another early get up tomorrow. Roll on 22nd and being able to get up later. Only a month to go before my summer break from work starts, although this year it'll only be a week instead of the normal 2 weeks due to deadlines:(

    Right, I best get moving. These accounts won't do themselves unfortunately lol :wave:
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!
