    You are lovely, Dancemum.

    Hi Play2Day! :wave: I'm in exactly the same position, not having read or posted for a while. It feels as though the house has run away from me, although I'm not sure I've ever actually caught up with it. Flying makes all the difference, though.

    I'm with JulieJim, Dizzy. I'd be very tempted to make contact with a sensitive part of his anatomy, too, with that miracle wand. Mini-crisis, my eye. *ouch* and *healing vibes* for your thumb.

    (((hugs))) for you, ATB. I hope today is fun, at least.

    Kelpie's been for his third hydrotherapy session which went better than I'd expected. He's gradually getting used to it, but I hate seeing him frightened, although today I got a glimpse of a tail wagging as he was swimming. Quite an interesting sight; I would have said it wasn't anatomically possible, but apparently it is.

    Right. Kitchen already tidied, washing shuffled on the line, on to the sitting room.
    Better is good enough.

    Morning all.

    I didn't get to sleep until gone 4am so ended up having a lie in until 9am. Booted DD out of bed around the same time, pottered in my bedroom and when I came down she'd let Zack out and fed him, washed up and S&S'd the kitchen :D However not much else has happened since as she's been watching TV and I've been doing online dailies.

    DD is of to Mr Al for basics (45p for their half and half bread is better than 85p each in Mr A for a branded one the same size ;)), pizza and snacks. I'm booting up the scanner and getting stuck in. I really hope I can clear this pile today.....:wave:

    Thanks for all the kicking vibes girls...I'm feeling much better today, but appreciate the soft anatomy suggestions :D

    We had our chat after flopping into bed last night (always a dangerous place to start a "discussion") and I did feel a bit sorry for DH. He was feeling horribly guilty about doofing Tiny and I had overheard him telling Mrs NDN about the ladder incident and how bad he'd felt then too, earlier in the evening, so I'd mellowed a little.

    Both of us spoke calmly and that's a first :rotfl: and I think we both understand how the other is feeling. Anyways, the discussion ended well :blushing:

    So today the WM and TD are both on, Asda shopping delivered and put away, paperwork sorted, mortgage advisor approached to see what can be raised to finish the restoration works, huge quantities of stewed plums cooked and packed ready to freeze, dogs fed, Tiny's thank you cards written (just need Jim to decorate them:eek:) and caravan kitchen cleaned. Cup of tea and swirly crisps for lunch and then off up to DSS's room for a turfing out session.

    One errand successful, one will have to be deferred until Monday because they're closed for the holidays.
    Sofas have been given a once over with a leather wipe. Now to get on with the job proper. There will be ructions. DS is watching the olympics.

    HI All

    I am in this week

    Couple of frogs to clear

    Bags to go to the charity shop

    Display cabinet needs emptying and cleaning, but always scares me to do as contains Swarovski Crystal and one time I did it and knocked off Anna Pavlova's hand. Fortunately she was repairable.

    Loads of shredding

    Is it bedtime yet? Lol. I'm bushed after the weekend. LR done here plus a wash out blowing in the hurricane haha and put away grocery shopping.

    DS says he has a poorly tummy. He can only drink coke and eat crisps lol. DD is eating pea pods. As in the entire pod. Strange creatures.

    Off to polish some light switches...
