Welcome to all the new joiners

Pigpen hope you and yours are all alright, pop in when you can.

Still doing floordrobe, got slightly distracted with other things so it's taking longer than I hoped.

Well today has just vanished!

House full of children till an hour ago, but I've managed to keep the kitchen tip top. I've not done much of the list as obvs it's all new and hasn't had chance to get dirty yet, lol.

DW is on and I've washed some bedding and some of the kids holiday clothes. Showers here so they are brought in and on the airer in the conservatory.

Kids are watching films in opposite rooms haha, genius idea getting a second to room! Lol.

I'm probably going to ignore the dining room

Welcome to all new joiners (and anyone who wants to pop back )

Just counted out my jar of shrapnel and 'bought' £7 worth of 2p prices out for the kids to waste in the arcades on holiday.

Almost got the floor cleared, just got the actual clothes bit to do now.

Edit
Clothes put away, a bag filled for the CS, just about to nip in the attic, need to get some dc01s that have been kept up there as spare parts as I don't need them anymore but know a man who does so I've said he can have them all. It amounts to about 3 dyson worth of parts leaving the house do more space.
After that I'll clean the tortoise out and make a start on food

Sorry for the lack of posts. Had some sort of unspecified infection. Feeling a bit better for antibiotics.


DS is back from a weekend at a festival in Kendal - he is an incredible shade of brown - and this is post shower, so in theory its not mud!


He has invested in a decent van for work. We have loaned him some money at better rates than the bank.


he is so proud of it. But it will be a health hazard internally within a couple of months.


Hope everybody well.

Just spoken to Pigpen - she's not planning on returning any time soon. She may not be in the Facebook group, but she is still on facebook

Hi CY :wave: Glad to hear the ABs are working.

I have done everything on my list except clean the kitchen floor. It's not really bad so can wait a day or two. But I have done extra washing and emptied all the bins.

Just got back from second horse piddle appointment, this time with the orthopaedic surgeon. He is delighted with my progress, says everything is absolutely normal except for an irritating staple under the skin of my big toe, which he says he can remove very easily if it continues to bother me. I have another appointment to see him in September - and I am allowed to drive again :j :j :j My big post-surgery boot is not to be reused so I can pass it on to the grandchildren for playing hospitals :rotfl:

DH looks happier than he has for several weeks, though he says he would prefer me not to drive long distances (e.g. to DD in Surrey) without him atm

We have eaten the last slices of lemon drizzle cake from the freezer in celebration

If it's gone it's done (not including the chickens :rotfl:)

Enormously busy day in work. Feel shattered but satisfied as have just done rest of level 1.

Dizzy - good luck for tomorrow.
