    Hoppy burpday Lynne - enjoy your special day! Sending birthday kisses xxx

    Well, I broke the strictest rule I have with my dogs yesterday and allowed my older boy to sleep upstairs in my bedroom last night. He seems to be getting worse with his separation anxiety. So much so, that he cried and barked all night, the night before last, until I came downstairs to sit with him, when he promptly curled up and fell asleep! To be fair, he was as quiet as a very huge mouse.

    Ironing done, washing on, dishwasher emptied and dirty things stacked in for the next time.

    Cuppa time! And catch up on Fred x

    Me again:D

    I've WUDUPA pots; pans are WU and air drying while baking trays soak :T

    I've also washed and recycled a coffee jar and a couple of plastic pots AND ... H2H I've had a bit of a rootle under the kitchen table and pulled out two carrier bags - one binned, one added to bag stash (I use them as bin bags), and a baking tray. This baking tray will be washed and compared to my least savoury in use baking tray - and one will be kept and one flung.

    oh, and I put a pizza place flyer in the recycling bin - every little helps :D

    I have wrapped up well and washed my car!! :)
    I removed all the rubbish, pay and display tickets etc, and also hoovered it out.
    All clean and shiny now, but not for long the roads round this way are very bad.

    Ninth Anniversary
    Hello all
    Sat watching birds on feeders this morning -they are very busy. The garden looks nice as covered in snow. Took DH two and half hours to get home yesterday usually 35 mins. There had been several accidents so hope all involved are ok.


    Off to unload dw and wm make a cuppa and then start on hall.
    Need to make it warm and inviting , all a bit bland at the moment so will see how I go.


    Hugs to all who need them
    take care if going out

    I have found a hip brace that might help.. I just need to sell more ebeast tat in order to afford it.. £70 .. or £144 if I get the better one.. I need something tht enable me to walk to the post office without requiring crutches or the pram (aka walking frame!)

    TD on
    I need to refill the wash powder tub and get the WM's on.

    we had revolting white filth from the sky last night which has now thankfully gone but the cold has made my joints really painful again.. I really wish I had been given that hospital appointment.. they binned my referral again it appears.. I think waiting almost a year and not hearing anything means I'm not getting an appointment.. my skin is really dry and eczema-ish too..

    I am going to fold that laundry in the kitchen.. and sack off everything else and have a bag of stuff photographed and loaded on ebeast over the next few days I think.. I have a top that will bring in £20 or so.

    AMAZON RETURN!!! ... I need to sort that.. it is DS2's coat I got for christmas which is enormous on him.. I have a Next return to send back as well.. I will sort that first as it takes seconds.

    so.. HHC.. or possibly QHC,.. I shall see what I manage.

    well I managed 15 minutes..

    Wet laundry hung up,
    2x WM
    Table cleared
    few bits folded
    Twinkle and her pushchair and dolly rescued several times.
    cat poked.. she has a habit of licking herself bloody so has to be discouraged.. she is just healing from the last 2 places and has started on her tail.. she doesn't have fleas or a skin issue she is just crazy.

    I shall have 2 minutes and then I need to do lunch for Twinkle so while that is being done I shall wipe the table and make a start on folding.. There is SO much!!

    I have taken a leaf out of pigpen's book and just spent 5 minutes folding up the dry washing.

    Went to see my friend and got home after just over 2 hours, so I should have got further on with my list by now than I actually have.

    Sunny and v windy now, but that white stuff has pretty much gone. I put on my crazy hat and went up to the allotment for an hour. The things I do to be a slinky :D. I did rescue a bit of spinach and some purple sprouting for dinner , so not all bad. And someone else's netting which was about to take off.

    HHI, bedding changed and washed, hall, stairs, bedroom and DD room dusted and vacuumed.

    Made broccoli, leek and mint soup , just because that was what was lingering in the fridge door. Doesn't taste bad for a bit of old broccoli stalk!

    Thanks for the reminder, Kaz. I must clean off my number plate and lights before going back out to pick up DD so at least I am safe and legal. The roads are disgusting here too.

    chewy mushroom, limp spinach and crispy dry cheese omelette eaten.. eggs make my tummy sad.. but I have scarfed ranitidine and rennies will be dessert.. so it might be ok..

    I have decided I am to become weight obsessed, because if I am not obsessed it isn't happening.. I am listing ebeast stuff so I can buy the hip brace.. if that works it should reduce the pain and make light exercise possible.. and hopefully that will lower the lard content quicker and that too will help with the hip.. sorry but you will have to put up with it for a while.. I am looking at maybe contacting my old avon area manager who has started a weight loss/tone up kind of training programme and see if she can help.. it's worth a try right? I was looking at exercises to help with hips strenght but I physically cannot do any of them.. yet!!!
    More washing folded.. I am nearly a quarter through it but I need to do ebeast pics now while Twinkle is napping.
    More towels etc hung up and the TD is back on

    Cuppa.. ack.. I forgot to put sugar in... *licks cat*

    sugar.. cuppa.. photos...

    ETA... while I sup a cuppa...

    Will Tofu kill me?
    I'm thinking of trying being veggie for a few months.. see if it helps my tum.. not super obsessive like cant eat haribo.. ok.. so meat free.. if I make the decision for myself rather than fighting my body over it maybe it will heal and reset.. or maybe I will feel great or maybe I will die of quorn overload.. I actually like quorn.. sorry...
    I need snacky ideas though..
    and are sugar substitutes any better than they used to be??? I have a pint mug with 3 sugars about 20 times a day.. even if I just replace 1 of those 3 sugars that is a big difference..

    ok.. going again..
