Evening all

Oh Jue that’s not good!

ASB how is your dog now? I’d agree with the others. Eating grass usually means they are trying to make themselves sick.

Been really busy. I’ve managed to keep on top of the living room and kitchen/diner. Actually hoovered for the first time ever before work yesterday LOL. What is happening to me??

Busy Saturday as the Fringe is still in full swing, so I’m going to the Book Festival to see Sofia Hagen. Might try to fit in another show too.

Evening!

We didn't get the house clean properly but (ignoring DS's room ) it is tidy which included a good HHC from me putting work related stuff where it should be. Then we cleared out under the stairs, made a shopping list of what paint etc DS needs to buy tomorrow with Ex, put it all back under or in the bin as appropriate then I quit as that wore me completely out. I'll do some cleaning tomorrow while DS is out. Oh, and DS ordered takeaway for tea so no cooking for me tonight So if it's gone from the list it's done.

Morning :wave:

I'm here . Giving myself a pat on the back for successfully completing my first week back at work :T Convinced it was flylady vibes which helped - especially lunchtime hugs from Jue :heartsmil

I only managed WM x 1 during the week but I'm reporting for flylady duty this weekend. Weekend Willi Returns Part 1

I sorted Mount Washmore in to loads whilst the kettle was boiling for my morning brew - and the first load has just stopped swishing. Looks like rain - forecast says 70% chance of rain 9 - 10 am, then dry: so I'll drape this load on the airer and set the second load swishing. Fingers crossed the 'dry' will have arrived by the time that load is ready to be pegged out.

Then I'll get washed, dressed - including socks :T I love being NOT HOT!!!! before I make a start.

Anyone heard from Mademoiselle lately? Good to 'see' LW popping in

Back soon

Hi Lamewolf! :wave: Thanks for popping by - I was getting really worried about you. Good luck with the PiP Review.
Heroic, Ionafan, six on one day! It sounds like a magical time, the sort of days people remember forever.
ASB, I agree with the others about grass-eating. If it's completely new behaviour for the dog and it lasts three day it's vet time. Grass-eating per se is perfectly normal for some dogs - if Layla eats it shc's sick pretty immediatley, Kelpie used to postively graze and was hardly ever sick. Only you know your dog, and new behaviours are the ones that are significant. I hope it's better today.

Flying minimal because I seem to be in the routine of doing all the routine stuff that needs doing on Sundays, but that's not something I've ever decided I should do. I think it's directly connected with getting enough sleep on Friday and Saturday nights but in the meantime I'm not complaining because the house looks better than it ever had before. We're pulling the bed out today, swizzling the mattress and cleaning thoroughly behind Layla's crate, the bedhead and OH's bedside table. He's started sneezing and coughing again in the mornings which is usually a sign that there's a build up of dust behind there.

Morning all

ASB/B] my dog eats grass all the time, I think he is just strange, it's not necessarily anything to be too worried about but I agree keep an eye out for tummy trouble.

So... nice meal out for wedding anniversary last night. Then DS2 went to pick his brother up from the pub. DS1 was very drunk and was messing about while DS2 was trying to get him into the car and somehow he fell over and banged his head. I get a phone call at 2am from DS1 crying and saying his head was really bad so had to get out of bed and drive 10 miles to where they were to sort it all out. DS1 is fine, brought him home and he is in bed sleeping off the drink, but its not a good start to the weekend.

We are at a family BBQ later, not sure what else the day brings. Doing my finance spreadsheets first.

Washed & dressed - including socks
made my bed
put clean towels in bathroom
took clean clothes (from airer) upstairs
draped first WM load on airer
2nd WM load now swishing
fed birds
put cardboard inner from wrapping paper in to recycling bin
tore up cardboard box - to be recycled
sorted pile of DS's (clean) underwear - which had been left on the landing??? following his sort out: odd socks in to odd sock bag; paired socks and decent underpants put on DS's bed (to be put away by DS); holey underpants binned - fling :T
one pair of my socks (with holes) binned - fling

There is something sharp on one of the stairs which catches the heel of my right sock on my way down and pulls a hole in it. I've felt with my hand along the suspicious stairs - not entirely sure which exact step is the culprit as it doesn't happen when I come down one at a time only when I'm coming down in the normal fashion. This has now happened to my favourite socks with a cute penguin on - Intense investigation a la Sherlock will be carried out - grrrr. My fault I should have investigated earlier - but I only remember when the blasted thing does it!

It didn't rain. Well it wouldn't, would it? Because I didn't hand hang out the washing!!!! Both loads will now be pegged out - bound to sling it down then. Cynical? Me? :rotfl:

WM X 2 to be pegged out when I launch myself from my pit.
DW x 1 to be emptied ditto.

Today might be the day when I shift the stuff off DS's wardrobes and clean on top of them and move them and clean behind them too.
Got a feeling it will be both appalling (at first sight) and satisfying (job well done).
