Morning all.

House cleaned all through yesterday (DH hoovered downstairs, I did all the rest).
Boiler/fire service engineer unexpectedly fitted us in yesterday afternoon so that is done and paid for.
My friend did me an hour-long back and shoulder massage as my birthday present - she has a wonderful touch So relaxing that I dropped off a couple of times
Shopped on my way home from church choir practice, so that's done and put away.
Did some more family history research for a friend

Woke up far too early this morning because I was thirsty, made myself a cuppa and went back to sleep on the sofa. Now playing catch-up.

Land of Ice delivery expected (£5 off voucher )
Emails to send
Phonecalls to make
Gift Aid claim to continue
Dog to walk
Friends to visit
Other friend to be picked up and brought back here for tea, so I'd better decide what we're eating!

There is not enough washing to do today so some peace there then. Washing up done and left to drain. I've dusted 3 rooms upstairs and the landing. Just having a cuppa, then I'll put the hoover round.

Good morning all,

DH was off out for the day by 8.30am, so I've had a peaceful morning so far. I've done the boring dailies, had a couple of cups of tea, and restrained myself from spending more than a few minutes in the garden / greenhouse. I'll be taking DD to the stables shortly, and I'm meeting a friend for a walk while I wait for DD. As the sun is just breaking through, it should be a lovely day for a walk.

Yesterday I managed to order a few small Christmas presents from independent sellers, as part of my ongoing quest to support the little (wo)man more. I've also managed to have what I thought would be an awkward conversation with a couple of friends to suggest that we stop present buying and go out together for lunch or afternoon tea etc instead. It takes so much effort to coordinate busy lives but they all thought it was a good idea and jumped at it. Just goes to show me, really. We have a date set as well, so progress.

I have an hour before I need to leave, so I guess I had better put my mind to something useful.

Have a lovely day, all.

Hope you are OK roundtuit.

Aww thank you YL xx I'm plodding on. Went back to work on Thursday; knew it would be hard and wanted to get it over with! Thursday was tough and I used up every spoon in the drawer, but yesterday was much easier. I'm glad that first day back is behind me now.

Dad is putting me to shame - he's borrowed my shredder and has two and a half black bin bags of shredding done so far (guess I inherited my hoarding tendencies from Mum then ). He has also bought himself a slow cooker and was planning on going shopping first thing this morning to buy ingredients for a stew.

Tomorrow would have been my stay-at-home-with-mum-while-dad-goes-karting-with-DS day. I'm going karting with them - even though there is a ton of stuff I could be doing at home I don't want a day home alone thinking of where I would have been. Last race meeting this year and DS is currently 3rd in his class championship, so I'll go and cheer him on.

DS is going to Barnsley today for a final audition to go on Bargain Hunt with his mate!!! They have made no secret of the fact that they know jack-!!!!!! about antiquey things - so I hope they get through....watch this space.

Flying? Hmmmmm oh yeah - I put a load of work shirts in WM this morning. In fact they're waiting for me to unload them now - so that's what I'll do.


Thank you for the hugs ionafan xx


Hope everyone is having a peaceful Saturday

Will I ever learn that starting is the hardest part?

I've: done the laundry shuffle; deposited dead flowers in recycling bin; replenished still-alive flowers with water; rinsed and recycled THIRTY :eek: cola cans and a free tea caddy; fed the birds; and put the rubbish out.

I now have empty worktop space in the kitchen :T

WU
Bunny running round garden
Washing out and blowing.
De-grotting of dining room in progress including pile sorting. Recycling box emptied into bin and refilled again; this is the bin that goes this week.
Stuff I was going to list on local facebook has been sold because it occurred to me to offer them to a colleague so it only took a text; need to put in the bag to go with me to work on Monday.
Cut and blow dry booked for Thursday. 8:30 but it will still be a lie-in! My work pattern has been altered for this week and I'm off Thursday morning.
Stuff shredded.

Oven clean
Also cleaned inside of kitchen windows
Something has been on my bird feeders and broken two of them, one repair and back up, the other in the bin.
I might cut the grass!

:beer:Afternoon all!
DD arrived back from university yesterday with an absolute mountain of washing - thank goodness for the sunshine we have today as I don't have a tumble dryer. Two loads down so far - I'm on my own this afternoon so I can hang, fold and iron in peace and maybe do a little light dusting. The house is already looking better after a week of flying - thank you, Valli!:j
A good trip to town this morning - bought two difficult Christmas presents with DD's help and student discount, found a lovely wool jumper in a CS for £4, and stocked up on YS meat ready for Christmas hols.:T
Hope you all have a good day and restful weekend.:beer:

I am not in the best of moods, OH moved the timer on the cats automatic cat feeder, so cat pestering to be fed at silly oclock. Can down and dealt with cat, WM is now on, OH still in bed snooring...................

If that was me, OH would have had a rude awakening with a wet flannel round his ear'ole!

I hope the cat was suitably grateful, at least.

That's an excellent idea. I don't have any direct experience, but I'm sure it will be hard at first, til you get into the swing of *not* having your stay-with-mum days. Hang on in there mate. x
