  • Meeting went well and traffic was kind, so I got back in good time. We too will be decluttering some ££££s this week on sprucing up DDs bedroom (much needed though).

    Relented and ordered DD the unicorn bedding. She is growing out of clothes so fast though we need to get some more of those too. Piggers - any 6-7 in your ebeast pile?!

    Mrs MP she is lush xx
    Dizzy - well done to Tiny. I've been meaning to ask, will he start school this September or next?

    Nearly school run and swimming lessons time....

    ATB.. not much.. I am still sifting through 4-5.. and Pixie (at 4.5) still just fits in some of the 6-7. We pretty much skipped 5-6 and 6-7 though.

    Welcome Srn! :wave:

    WM x 3 today, then respin all of it and TD before draping it on the clothes horse in my office. It's like the cartoon of the ducks walking down the gangplank of the Ark carrying their suitcases and complaining, 'Rain rain rain, nothing but rain' here.

    It's taken me six months to do but I've finally had notification that the Office of the Public Guardian has circulated my Property and Finanaces Lasting Power of Attorney, which I'd been meaning to do for at least a decade and finally did thanks to the help of this website - and got the reduced rate for registering it, too. As soon as that one's officially registered I'll collect all of the signatures needed for the Health and Welfare one. For anyone who hasn't done them but thinks they really should, I can honestly say it was nowhere near as difficult as I thought it would be and I had absolutely excellent advice on my living will that I drew up from one of my replacement attorneys. If you've been meaning to do it, honestly, doing it online is really, really straightforward. What takes the time is thinking through exactly what you want to happen should you become incapacitated, and choosing who you trust enough to implement your wishes.
    Better is good enough.

    Glass from green house cleared up and taken to tip

    While out side on that side of the house, noticed the over flow, overflowing........so I'm getting the tool box out, to cut off the top of the blocked in toilet system, as I have a feeling the ball c o c k stop is stuck inside.
    If you flush the toilet it stops, once it has filled up again it starts...........

    I may be some time :)

    I have spent the day dismantling an old sofa so I can take it to the tip. It'll save me from paying the council to come and collect it and I found over £5 down the back of it. Some of which I wouldn't have found if I hadn't taken it apart :)
    Yay! Way to go! :money::money::money:

    Lost yet another day to bluddy lupus. *cries piteously*

    Mr LW is just about to start cooking tea :A so I need to go and get a couple of bits out of the freezer for him (he's not allowed to rootle around in the freezer unsupervised).

    Top came off the boxed in system after a while and a load of mastic cutting with a stanley knife, which I then snapped the blade..........
    Tok top off toilet and 'wiggled' the ball co ck thing and it seems to have stoped the over flow.
    Put it all back together but not mastic the top back on just in case I need to get it off again.

    Off to find food.
