Oh dizzy why are they such gits sometimes? Please take it easy xx

ATB I'm up for that, date dependent - I think you and I are only 10min away from each other so we could arrange a coffee too

Another day at home waiting for @utogl@ss this time. Have spoken to stepdad about leaky roof too.

I'd cleaned the upstairs sinks and loos yesterday, and opened the windows. They are churning a nearby field and it was rather windy yesterday. Resulting in my sinks looking like someone had emptied a filthy bucket of water down them. Pfft. I'm only glad I was too lazy to hang my laundry out! It would have had to go back in the WM!

Not sure whether to brave it today or not...

Actually all the upstairs windowsills have a layer of got on the now. I might dust and vac all upstairs. DD room is upside down...

Extra big hugs coming to Dizzy and Natty xx

Dizzy - is there anyone nearby that can take the boys for a day? I don't know where you are, but I will help if I can. They would take my mind off things! x

DS dropped at nursery, I totally forgot I texted myself a to do list last night :rotfl: so will have a look at that in a moment too. Must do a tip run and charity shop run at some point.

DD has spread her Shopkins everywhere..... oh and the dog has the runs, joy....

Off to make brekkie - all i really want is cheese on toast and a choccie biccie so that's what it may end up being x

dancemum

Just cleaned and refillled the cat's outside water bowls. We too had a windy day yesterday and millions of seeds with small wings had filled her dishes. All windowsills were covered too as was the bath. All cleared now.

Dizzy ha ha to the trots. Hope you have a good day X

Ionafan hope your migraine has gone and you feel better today.

Welcome newbies x

Morning all
Hugs to those who need them.
Peaceful resting vibes to those needing recovery time.
Sticks and spoons whe wanted.

Not sure what today's plan is. First need to nip bread round mils and return her watch now Dh has changed the battery for her.
Then have some mending to do and the lists to finish off.

I might even make a cake to celebrate the fact I've kept up all week.

This is the pile of recycling that is leaving my house this week

... slides in and pretends to have been around all the time. :whistle:

I need to get the house under control. Hotspots have been multiplying lately at an alarming rate and it's driving me mad. No matter how much time I spend on sorting and clearing it still feels chaotic, although I've learned something from Fred - at least it looks relatively clean and tidy. But it's just not the way I want it. Every drawer is packed to the gunnels, every cupboard is crammed with crud and I still can't find things in the attic.

And I've missed Everyone.

Valli

Natty you have my sympathy and condolences, I had to make that decision earlier this year, it's hard but right. (Hugs).

Cleaned my sisters bedroom yesterday - including the window, inside and out. She advised I go onto the top of the flat roof, so I did. Getting back was a palaver though, as I was lower down than when I was climbing out and I'm not the most athletic of people. After considering ringing the fire brigade I decided to dive in headfirst! Well crawl. Thank goodness there was no-one filming! The windows were bad as next door have had work done. Acid comments were made by me, I think they should have offered to pay for window cleaners, I had to use cif on the sills!
Neighbours are away atm so the didn't get a view of my rear end slithering through accompanied by flailing legs!

Shower shortly then breakfast then bathrooms to clean. well two and a cloakroom.

mrs-moneypenny

Valli that does sound an ordeal! Glad you got back in OK.

Frizzlef

Hi honey bear!!! Glad you are back with us!!!

Mrs mp- that is impressive!!!! Well done!!!

Matody- welcome!!!

Valli- I'm sure it put a smile on your sisters face!!!!

Right! Ds1 and 2 at summer sports camp until 4 so just little miss and I in the house all day!!!!! After my unproductive day yesterday (I did the food shop and made some soup, ate lunch, fed little miss and then it was time to pick ds1 up and then went swimming!!) I am spending all day at home on the house!!!!!
Job one-finish all downstairs jobs that should have been finished yesterday so if anyone comes round it looks presentable!!!

hhc or two anyone????

:eek::eek::eek:

I have already done most of my flying for today:
- an hour's paperwork before breakfast
- phoned DSiL
- WUDUPA
- fed chicken (but still no egg )
- quick flick of the dusteronnastick round the LR, DR and kitchen
- downstairs floors hoovered
- kitchen floor mopped by hand to give the grotty bits an extra going over.
Now I'm whacked!

Next I plan to shower, S&S bathroom, and fold and put away 5 pairs of DH's socks.
I also need to phone someone to come and deal with the wasps' nest right outside our back door.
Then (with a :coffee: which DH has promised to bring me) I shall try to do another hour's work before crashing out on the sofa.

Thanks for all GWS wishes. As usual, my migraine is spreading itself out over 3 days, but we hope to get out for a couple of hours later this afternoon.
