Kaz, just OMG.
Bossy - your little ones do make me laugh

Well, just finished paid stuff for the day. During slow computer times, I got our bedroom back to normal now MIL is headed home.

See you all tomorrow.

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.

Awwww, bless his little furry socks! Healing energy on it's way to him.

The couple who lived opposite us for several years had eight dogs; all little yappy things - toy poodles, Maltese, that sort of thing. I believe they had some sort of kennelling in the garden, but the trouble is the dogs were bored (we never actually say any of them get taken for walkies) and they barked incessantly.
Now as you know, I adore dogs - but eight of them going hammer and tongs at 03:00 in the morning was a bit much!
Hopefully your neighbour's will be more civilised!

Have achieved sweet FA today - all morning at the opticians (we were both due eye tests) and decluttered best part of £400 for Mr LW to have new specs; then visited @ldi which has just re-opened after a month-long refit; and the rest of the time has been taken up clearing my emails (mainly on-line surveys).

I've been to the opticians as well, new glasses for me as well, they should be ready next Tuesday.

Neighbour and dogs, just mentioned it to OH, OH reckons they are working dogs as they are going to live out side, the bloke doesn't look like a farmer so we are thinking sniffer dogs of some sort...................

Dinner is cooking
Weeding is done

Hello all
I'm in again this week - can't believe how much difference was made by the little amount I did last week.

I've had a busy, but good, day. Starting with a dash to the pharmacy to get medication for DD before she left to go on holiday with her friend and family for the week. Still, it was OK, as I used the pharmacy in Mr T's, so I got a top-up shop too, meaning I don't have to do a week's shop until Friday. Bonus!

I'm off out in a bit. Nowhere fancy, just WW as I need to start sorting out all the extra lbs I'm carrying. Hoping that the combination of flying, gym, and WW will help me feel a bit more like my old self.

Have a good evening.

Long day at work so not a lot done tonight. Vacuumed and straightened the living room, emptied dishwasher and wiped down kitchen. Did some relocating and vacuumed stairs. That's it for tonight!

Aww happy birthday little mouse

I've just been scoping out supplies for DD birthday too. Need to double - check her cake design (!)

Friends came over this aft, old nursery friends of the kiddies and their mum so we had a lovely catch-up. Not seen them for months and months so lovely to see the children getting along like they always did.

Won't be around tomorrow as we're having a day out!

List is up.

My sister is not so good - she's on IV antibiotics and in hospital so I may go for a flying visit tomorrow - not sure yet. But it explains the hygiene kick - see the list!

Hi all. Just checking in quickly, time for sleep. Dizzy glad you had a chat, we are working on actually talking to each other more too.

Happy birthday for tomorrow Master Mouse.

Have just been applying for jobs for DS1, not doing too well so far. DS2 has discovered he has been put on the rota for lunchtime tomorrow and DH and I are both at work. I may have to sneak out of work and dash home to give him a lift into work. Its not really ideal and I dont like doing that kind of thing unless it's an emergency but I suppose I have done a few things for work out of hours over the last couple of weeks.

Night all x
