Choose a DIFFERENT BIG appliance to clean - DW; Oven or fridge (bet no-one picks the oven lol)

Hugs good wishes positive vibes sticks and spoons to all who need/want them
Welcome to the new and returning flyers
Text last night means I'm in work again today so will play catch up later.
Found dd2s missing watch last night which was a relief as she wasn't sure where she's lost it. Well she hadn't DGS had posts into the back of the recliner chair-little tink I'd checked his toy box here as that's where dd3s phone turned up when he nicked that out of her handbag!

Natty thank you for the email.

Valli

Caught up now

Welcome la escosesa and hello lurkers, too. Glad you're ok Natty.
Hope the builders are better soon Dizzy.
Fingers crossed for Mr Wolf

I have been to the huge shopping centre and spent my gift card. New sheets and a Pyrex jug. How rock'n'roll is that?:rotfl:
Luckily, since I went after work, it was getting quieter. That place won't see me again this side of Christmas, that's for sure.

Morning all. Very rock and roll Valli!

I'm about to start the paid stuff, but I have had a clean round in the bathrooms and the gym and put the hoover round. Dogs had a walk in the rain when it eased off a little.

Tomorrow morning I plan to catch up with yesterday's kitchen jobs.

Have a great day everyone.

Morning all,

Just gathering my thoughts. Have laundry to catch up on today, plus need groceries, inset day has messed with our usual timetable. I have a list, but also something else being delivered so will fly until I know what time I need to be in.

I'm actually going to "do" the dining room today. It's rather cluttered, plus I need to find a home for a growing stash of winter festival bits. Kiddies have been writing cards, that MIL gave them, and they are not good at keeping them in one place! I have a nice basket we can use...

Did my homework last night, but need to reread and edit I think. Also notes for my journal to be done.

Might have some brekki first, though, and tidy the kitchen while I'm at it!

"See" you later xx

Good Afternoon all,

Feeling decidedly rubbish today. I know it's a culmination of tiredness (was up all night with DS, as in literally neither of us slept a wink, he has a really heavy cold) and money worries (no invoice hasn't been paid BM Stern red letter being sent this week).

I am cross with myself too because I realised in the night I had made a mistake on DH VAT return and not claimed the VAT back for a rather large item. If I'd done that we wouldn't have any VAT to pay, and would instead be due some back. i think I can rectify it next quarter but our money worries are happening now

Sorry to be so gloomy. On top of this, DS is going in for a minor operation on Friday which is worrying me. He's only 2.

I know all of this is naff all compared to so many real worries people have but I just had to offload.

Dizzy my love I was thinking of you last night, I hope you're ok xx
LW - Thinking of Mr LW x

I'm off to eat chocolate x
