Kaz, if you do decide to stay with bulb, I have a £50 code.

Morning all.  Will achieve as much as I can in the heat today.  At least my headache has gone.

Have a great day everyone.

I’m definitely not built for heat. And some little critter has had a feast on my feet and legs in the night.

When I did sleep, I dreamt that we had a bat in the kitchen and I chased it around with a pint glass to catch it.  Who knows?! Am terrified of bats and all things flying...
Lots of hugs to you, dancemum xx
Off to paid stuff shortly, with no aircon on in the office, just to be safe. Wm on for DH to unload when it’s done. 

Keep cool, ladies x

Oh Dancemum, thinking of you.

So tired, weird dreams here too, I was trying to tidy our bedroom which had about 5 non-matching wardrobes all stuffed with kids clothes, tiny shoes and sleep suits etc.  I was getting really stressed because I didnt know what to get rid of - what's all that about?

Tough day at the paid stuff, and yet another Zoom meeting tonight.  Will do my exercise first even though I dont feel like it.  Didnt get LR hoovered yesterday so will do it later.

Morning all (again!)

Managed a couple of fitful hours sleep. I want to get some housework done this morning whilst it's cool, the children are watching TV they are definitely more autumn babies like their mummy! 

Dancemum feel free to PM me anytime if you just want to get stuff out of your system. I am so sorry life is so hard for you ATM, I'm sure I'm not the only one who loves seeing your name on the thread as we all worry about you and how you're getting on. Take care lovely xx

Right I need a cool shower to get me going x

Morning xx

Just nipping in to hug dancemum xx I'm happy for you to PM me if you need a listening ear xx
Love the hair Natty xx 
Every day that we get through is a day less to get through - heat wise - and that is the only thing that is getting me through. If that makes sense. Please feel free to blow rain and storms in this direction - in fact PLEASE blow!!!
Paid stuff for me today - I've got my legs out...it must be hot. 
Birds will be fed. Apart from that and paid stuff I'm on the naughty step - in the shade!

Take care lovely ladies

How odd...I hate earwigs and I dreamt there were dead ones in my bed..then they weren't dead.  It's been a fitful night...
the rain did NOT refresh...

Jazee

Me again.  Dogs are walked, garden is watered and DH has just made me a bacon sandwich, yum.

Morning all.

Big thunderstorms all round the vale last night, particularly over towards DS2 and Dizzy-Land (hope all family, dogs, chickens and neighbours are OK) and an amazing light show in every direction, but Rosie was not impressed.  She is now catching up with sleep.  

So far this morning I have
- made tea and taken his to DH (still in bed)
- watered the pots with my cuppa in my hand
- picked a big handful of French beans (considering I only have a few plants, they're doing really well ) and a bigger-than-golfball-but-smaller-than-tennis-ball beetroot (my first for many years )
- rubbed down what was supposed to be the last bit of filler, only to spot a couple of areas that I had missed
- filled them, hoping it will dry quickly: I am fed up with plaster dust!
- texted my friend S to ask if she'd like to go out somewhere for lunch today

Today I need to
- finish rubbing down and hoovering the study bedroom, then put on another coat of emulsion
- dust all through downstairs and hoover where necessary (I only did it yesterday afternoon)
- do some church paperwork
- make some phonecalls
- order curtain lining and cushion trimmings (still not got round to that)
-  pluck up courage to open another current account, recommended by MSE Martin for its high rate of interest (but I'm not switching completely)
- sort out more junk to take to the tip
- walk Rosie (maybe with S)

Hope all the WAC members can stay awake at work!
(((Hugs))) especially for dancemum (PM me if you want to xx), spoons, (match)sticks  and more vistual ice lollies all round xx

Morning all.  Can't wait until we have a thunderstorm here which is on the forecast for Friday.  Going to take it easy on myself work wise till then because it's so hard to concentrate in the heat here.  House wise -

- WM on
- Sweeped all the downstairs floors
- Mopped kitchen because I didn't get round to that yesterday
- Wiped down most of the bathroom
- Cleaned the toilet
- Did a workout

Hope everyone is staying hydrated and looking after themselves.
