Morning all. Hugs to all that need them. Thanks for the list Valli, I am in.

Today I have a dentist appointment, need to stock up on basics like toilet roll while I'm out, walk the dogs, do the dining room things from list, change bedding, catch up with washing and hoover through.

Have a great day everyone.

Been away camping for five days (OH joined us for the last three).
So yesterday afternoon was a crazy un packing session. Holiday washing nearly all done and dried and most of thr camping stuff in the garage. Just got to put all the house stuff away!!!!
While we were away OH made a start on decirating our bedroom sonour bedroom contents are spread between the hallway and the living room.obviously this has to happen but he has not stored them in an orderly fashion so they are in the way and on the landing a little unsafe so today i intend to organise them a little. We wont get any more painting done until Saturday.

So today's list...

Howdy! I haven't been around for a while but recently after lamenting at how difficult my DH and I find keeping on top of the housework I remembered you lovely lot. So I'm back at it and hoping to turn our hovel into the snug vintage home it deserves to be. We are attempting to do lots of clearing out as both of us are borderline hoarders by nature.

Today I'm still getting over a sinus infection so will have to keep things light. But the plan is as follows:

Monday Munchroom Mess - Kitchen and Dining Room

Level 1

DH - Wipe/wash out the bin (it is still empty from yesterday) - leave it outside to dry in the sunshine to freshen and deodorise it
DH - Clear sides (worktops) and wipe down
DH - Wipe stuff as you put it back - kettle etc Don't forget the toaster crumb tray
Me - Clear table; dust, wipe/polish - don't forget the legs

Level 2

Me - Clean out the fridge and weave anything on its last legs into your meal plan

Level 3

Me - Dust the mantlepiece, dining table and aspidistra stand
DH - sweep and mop kitchen floor

Hi ladies

I am in, thanks for the list xx

We are back from hollibobs. Had a nice time, it was something different for us (cruise), not really my thing but glad we tried it.

Back to reality today and still two weeks of school holidays left! I have been super busy all morning, just stopping now to catch up on here.

LW, Dizzy and other doggy lovers - any advice on how best to deal with blocked anal glands in doggies? Our dog gets them all the time, we are back at the vets every 3 weeks or so with her at the moment. I understand they need more fibre in their diets so we are changing her food, and I have ordered some pumpkin supplements from Amazon that come highly recommended. Any tips really appreciated xx

Right I am going to start kiddies lunch, then need to order yet more school bits for DS (all the 4-5 things we bought him are too big on the waist!) xx

(((Hugs))) to Frodders and Dancemum.



Shed given another coat of paint. Just about to reboil OH's marmalade because my setting test was obviously faulty. After that a bit of a tidying session is needed and then off to Mr M because Kelpie's out of the turkey mince I need to stuff his kong.

how do you know they are blocked? i hear about this all the time?

Honey_Bear

It's raining on my paintwork. It wasn't forecast so I'm cross.


And reboiling marmalade never really works, does it. It's very dark. Tastes fine though.


Need to clear a few admin jobs now.

Back in the Ocean City. Planned to be for two nights, but FIL is now in hospital having had another stroke.

And guess what? After finding him on the floor soaked in his own wee, the relative actually called an ambulance but DIDN'T SAY HIS SYMPTOMS, just that he'd fallen over.

Two and a half hours later, the ambulance turns up and he gets blue lighted and is now in the Stroke Unit.


And then Himself was contacted.


Sigh.
