    Happy Birthday xx


    Well having checked the weather last night, there is an amber / yellow warning for this area, it has rained over night, but now is sunny and windy, so I didn't go car booting because of the weather warning, it looks like I should have gone so lost ££ in a roundabout way.


    So the washing is out on line blowing around
    Whole house hoovered
    Bed changed
    OH back early this week, so my restful tidy house will be no more :)
    Off out walking

    Well it’s now sunny and breezy here so wash is on the line and another load just swishing, bed made, lounge tidied, other dailies done. Spuds and veg prepped for tonight. We have just had a lovely brunch and will be heading out shortly for an appointment with the bathroom people... exciting!!

    DH is just pottering in the garden and tidying up a bit, he has expressed a hankering for cake, so I may indulge him and bake some this afternoon.

    Happy birthday asb, have a lovely day x

    Dry here now too so I spent 15 minutes in the garden digging up the beans and weeding.

    I'm going to make some individual Victoria sponges to take to presentation tomorrow. Good way to break the ice with people I don't know.

    [STRIKE]Morning[/STRIKE] Afternoon

    Lots of hugs all round, especially Valli, her DD, Narc0 and dancemum. Even you, Piggers, even though you don’t do them.

    Happy Birthday :bdaycake: ASB. I hope you get thoroughly spoilt. X

    It’s been fly frenzy here for a Sunday, which is usually gardening morning if I can swing it. So instead I have
    Got 2 loads of washing whirling outside. Double pegged for safety.
    Completely cleaned the bathroom - minging, as it missed out on last week’s rounds.
    S&s the en-suite, then vacuumed both floors. A waste of time as DH is now sanding on the landing. It was clean for - oh maybe 20 minutes.
    Dropped DD off in small town to meet a friend
    Cleared the ironing pile.

    Easy lunch I think - tomato based!! - then I might look at doing some pickling or jamming.

    right.. cuppa.. and bedroom sorting.. chicken casserole in SC.

    I DESPERATELY need some FL vibes tomorrow.. Boog has a job interview and I need him to get this for my sanity, Boog NEEDS this for mental health and self esteem. Financially it will be a HUGE blessing for everyone! It is McDonalds but I think they are very supportive of staff who need that little bit of extra care. They have been incredibly supportive of my friends and her sons and I am hoping they can offer that to Boog. So... Super interview and job vibes for Boog tomorrow about 1:20 please <3

    Cuppa gone.. 1.5 hours to clear some bedroom. I WILL get this hovel under control.

    Oh.. My cousin passed away yesterday.. yes, that much emotion.. He was a drug addict who had spent 25 of his 42 years in prison. A HUGE relief for my ageing aunt and uncle.

    And.. I just applied for a provisional driving license. I was looking at a tricycle for getting small to and from school.. but that is £400.. for a bit more I can have a driving license which I have wanted since I was a very small child.. and if I EVER see cf crossing the road, I can kill him! BONUS! (I may or may not be joking!) OH can keep the bus and I can have a normal car for me and girls I can then do normal things like food shops and charity shop runs and tip runs by myself.. win! CF never let me have lessons because I would never be home where I belonged!

    Vibes on their way, I'll cross my fingers tomorrow while volunteering.



    Found the awful weather it is in Norfolk over the A47 causing havoc.


    Dig some weeding, pulled out some plants that are falling

    Had a mini sleep
    Very dark here now

    We’ve bought a bathroom :j decluttered a huge pile of money this afternoon :eek::eek::eek:. Well it needs doing and it was always on the plan to refit that room, we are just doing it a little sooner than planned. Installation date will be quite some way off so at least we have some time to save up.

    It will be lovely when it’s done, looking forward to it already!

    Came back, made the cake as promised to DH, had lovely supper, folded laundry, work prep and pack ups done for tomorrow. DH now going to do the ironing, I’m going to sit with my book, may also give myself a manicure.

    See you all on the new thread xx
