    Hi ladies :wave:

    Another Supa-mega fail last week, combined with a minor melt-down, family wedding, H U G E bill from builders, house insurance renewal of nearly £3K :eek: and hideous sunburn.

    Flapping feebly this week, but hopeful...

    Love to all x

    Morning.
    WM loaded for running later. DH packed off to paid stuff, still trying to prise DD from her bed. Random gibble cleared from kitchen surfaces while drinking a cuppa.
    Nice to 'see' you, Froddington. Everything crossed for you. X
    Off to paid stuff shortly, so have good days everybody.

    ETA - just seen your post, Dizzy. Eeeek and ((hugs)). X

    Lovely to see you Dizzy been thinking of you love. xx
    Thanks for updating us Frodders, you have also been in my thoughts. Keep us posted on what happens xx

    Morning All :)

    I was asleep by 8.30 last night :o feel much better for it! This morning is 2.5 hours of paid stuff, then I need to do a top up shop at Aldi. Will crack on with the lists when I get back.

    Also remembered I need to go to the post office and the bottle bank, so will do those jobs whilst I am out.

    Hugs all round xx

    Morning, I'm in to some degree. Had a really rubbish BD day yesterday, kept beating myself up about anything and everything. Luckily I've got the counsellor this morning and am just going to start with the dailies.

    Hello

    Thank you Valli for the list and to Natty for the last one.

    I have been flying but didn't manage to post. I will try harder as I would hate for the thread to disappear.

    Ironing is up to date.

    Ds2 has had major meltdowns and has exhausted my get up and go.

    Ds1 is trying to get a summer job but so far hasn't had any luck.

    I have to pick DH up at lunch time and deliver him to the doctors for an mot.

    Dizzy Hugs x

    two loads on line; DW emptied, breakfast scoffed.
    I will be spending today doing errands for others and helping out elsewhere. And going into work to sort something.

    Morning!

    Decorator been, attacked walls with filler and caulked everything that doesn't move :D will be back later on to sand and remove dust ready for a whitewash tomorrow.

    Need to pop to @rgos for something and I think I may have a plan for hall furniture. I've looked at painting the old stuff but by the time I've bought all the right stuff and varnish etc etc it will be cheaper to buy new. I can reuse the old ones elsewhere also, to replace some tumble down bits of storage.

    WM on second run, DW emptied, sink shined (well, scrubbed, it's composite so will never shine ;)) and counters clear and wiped. 2 sinks and loos swished and swiped. Hall carpet removed, rolled and ready for the tip, which is where I'll go after @rgos.

    Might have a snack first, lunch will probs be late today...

    well middle room and hallway henried.. that's a start :) .. probably a finish too but at least the floor is clean for Miss creepy crawly to bug about.

    I ordered 2 copies of my birth cert. it took some locating due to city boundaries changing and hospital closing and files being moved about.. but i got there eventually.. and put in the reading for the solar.. 3.5 times what the last on was so expecting a decent cheque back.

    Bossy we had the same dilemma with a big pine bookcase, I was going to paint it then in the end just decided to start again. I sold it on ebay for quite a bit in the end.

    Cycled to paid stuff, worked 4 hrs, cycled home to start on job no. 2.

    Question: Is it worth bothering to clean windows if it is going to rain for the next two days?
