Narc0lepsy

Big hugs for Natty and others coping with health difficulties.
I'm back from a very productive garden hacking/trellis painting/tip visiting trip to my mum, plus took her out for a birthday meal. Then went on to BIL and did similar uncovering 2 sheds which were pretty much piles of ivy with 2 doors showing. Both full of carp, took 3 broken lawnmowers to tip (total 4 tip trips). Hellish journey home with loads of traffic and diverted through London so a 2hr journey took over 6hrs.

Today has consisted of:
- unpacking and washing clothes
- catching up on emails and dealing with urgent/work related ones
- ditto phone calls
- ditto snail mail
- paid various bills
- core and clubbercise classes for me while Mr N took MIL to Mr T (think I had the best deal).
- hours spent persuading my printer to talk to the computer. Why do they fall out?
- Mr N gathered a million apples and has been peeling, chopping and freezing them.

Worryingly just took a call from a friend whose wife has gone into hospital suddenly with what could possibly be viral meningitis.

Sorry HoneyBear as you see, I am back from Bournemouth. Will be going again 2nd week in Oct but as it is for a BIL's funeral it may be a bit lacking in free time.

Interesting discussion about flymeets. I just talk too much drivel and frighten people off I'm sure, although I mean well - just over-excited. But would be very gentle and quite with you LW.

Big, squishy hugs Natty and a bucket of coping vibes.

Evening lovelies. Well I can vouch for catrastropic news making you want to clean etc.. I've been going at the house like a whirlwind..lol

I've hoovered the house, done 2 hours of ironing.. And generally made the house look lovely and shiny, as well countless loads of washing and drying. I am actually scrabbling around in the laundry baskets now but the only down side is there is a mountain load of ironing..lol

Tomorrow the cleaner is coming, although she'll have very little to do so should be a minimal payment ...lol

Tomorrow I intend to peel and stew the Bramley apples, that a friend gave me from her tree, and freeze them as well as make a couple of crumbles.

I've got more washing to do - mainly the doggy fleeces so that they can go with him next week while we are on holiday. I might even wash the nets - go all out crazy...lol

Hugs and spoons to everyone.. xxx

Sorry to hear about the boiler, Valli
What a horrid journey, Narc0.
More (((hugs))) for Natty.

Had a great Flymeet with Honey Bear and MrHB - and yes, Flying did get a mention! Rosie had a walk along the canal on our way back and was fascinated by the ducks and moorhens. Thank you for the preserved sunshine

Our landlord called round this evening with logs and kindling for the fire. More importantly, he has shown us the hidden switch for the heated towel rail, so we won't have to try to dry ourselves on damp towels tomorrow (and hopefully I shall get first shower so that DH doesn't use the whole tankfull of hot water again :mad:)

Fayolle

Up and ready to be at it. Well after another cup of coffee I think. DH seemed possessed with getting up as soon as the alarm went which seemed a bit unnecessary to me, but I let him get on with it and had another 10 minutes.

I have to take the car into the garage for a while-you-wait appointment first thing, so that will be an hour with (another!) coffee and a magazine. Then back home and the lists will be tackled. For some reason that came out as the 'lusts' will be tackled - ooh err...

I have lots of milk so an going to stick a rice pudding on the slow cooker for tonight as it feels like rice pudding weather. DH told me on his way out that a bulb has blown in the kitchen, so I guess he is wanting me to do something about it....

So glad that you had a lovely flymeet Iona and HB. And Rosie of course!

Morning ladies :wave:

I have running water and a working washing machine :j Today I will be concentrating on getting the mountains of laundry sorted.

I do have a hair consultation after lunch as I'm thinking of moving hairdressers, having a new cut and letting my grey come through rather than keep dyeing it at horrendous cost (£s). Embrace the glitter....and breathe....

DH is being super cuddly ATM, so I think he can tell I'm not feeling very special. Maybe he's not so bad lol.

Hugs to all. Catch up later x

And I'm back . . . again

Great to see alot of old "faces". Things are actually going ok for me at the moment. I'm in a semi good place life wise so now need to tackle the house again.
I'll be working half off list as I have certain things I want to get done. I'm going to get DD2 to help me (she's currently not working) so she won't be too happy especially as she got in at goodness knows what time last night.
I'm just waiting for DD1 to leave for work then I tackling the bathroom (yes I know it'll come up later in the week but its bugging me now)

Morning All

Just waiting for my omelette to cool so thought I'd log on and say hi. DH only working until lunchtime today so we may pop out somewhere this afternoon. Need to be careful with the pennies though - finally bought a much needed rug for our living room yesterday which I know will make me go when it arrives but right now I am just :eek: at the cost! It is gorgeous though and will really finish the room off.

No laundry to do, may mop the floors if I get chance. More work admin to do for DH as ever.

Have great days all xx
