Hello all
Good Intentions...how marvellous. Particularly impressed by your win on the Free Lottery. I do that, my bonus is over £60 but not a sniff so far.
JJTF *shudder*
Piggers sounds like your home will soon be sorted!
went out with my friends for my birthday and had a lovely night, inc a home made coffee and walnut birthday cake and balloons. Restaurant was very quiet. Home made cake was fitted in while my friend was wfh!
planning a lazyish weekend but I'm rather stressed that a particular mug has gone AWOL. Only been me here...

I've eaten porridge for breakfast and whilst it was zapping in the microwave I've rinsed and recycled the cans for recycling and ripped up a cardboard box, also for recycling.

Morning all
I seem to have lost the week! 2 days of a vicious migraine so no work and no flying, 3 days of feeling grotty but desperately trying to catch up on the paid stuff, DH has also been working all hours so the house has slightly descended into a midden!Heyho feeling ok this morning, tired but ok so need to get on and restore some order to the place
Bedding has been stripped and washed already, pouring down with rain so will put in the TD.
wash load 2 set to swish, all small stuff so will put that on the airer, any more washing will have to wait for later when TD is finished.
litter trays emptied, washed and refilled
breakfast eaten and brew slurped, chatted with DH for a while as feel like we’ve barely seen each other this week
next step, shower and dress, will scrub the en-suite while I’m in there!
Hope weekend Willi turns up for you round x
Hugs etc for any in need, will catch up on thread properly later on xx8 -
Glad to hear that you're feeling better BadCat xx
DS and GF came down for breakfast and I got side tracked (I currently have the attention span of a gnat - and I'm maybe being unfair to gnats!!!) Plan: Round 1 - and shut the bathroom door because it keeps banging and it's very annoying

Valli.. I have been decluttering since 1993.. it will NEVER be sorted lol I just have big plans.. make good headway and then lose all will to live for 6 months and go right back to square -3
Round.. go back to bed.. your body is talking to you.. listen!
pre-order of WoW Shadowlands pushed back until goodness knows when but I have OH's so he can have it for christmas if it arrives intime which they are pushing for.. game developers do not work well at home.. clearly they need the supervision to stop them just playing! haha. I do have him 2 jumpers and a new saw so he will survive. He is also getting a new laptop at some point too.. with help from his mother.I was sure I had no washing out.. so it is now soggy on the line.. it can stay there, I have 4 loads to hang on airers inside without dealing with that!OH banished to work.Having a cuppa, feeding the girls and me if I am actually hungry.. then I need to do some more flinging in my room.. that is going to take a good 3-4 days to get it straight, It is am absolute bear pit!

Good afternoon! I don't know where the morning has gone!!
I woke up late, then lazed about in bed. I have spoken to DD1 & my mum on the phone, and faffed about with fb & games! I am now cross with myself for giving in to time bandits!! I have put the towels in for a hot wash though.
The weather is miserable, so I think I will put on a leek & potato soup for when DH finishes work. He is a postie, so the last couple of days have been hard!
Round 1
Wash up pots
Put on DW
Prepare soup
Round I think it is safe to say that weekend willi is not here! 😂
Have a good weekend everyone!8 -
Brew 2 morphed into a coffee - as it had gone past brew time. So I'm supping my coffee having completed Round 1 - towels / tea towels are swishing. I have no idea when they will be dry as it's rather wet outside and I don't have a TD but they were there so they are now in the WM. Laundry hamper is literally overflowing - I developed muscles just carrying it down the stairs. Heavy clothes??? I wonder what's in there!
Round 2 =
put a bowl of pots to soak
sort washing in to loads
WUDUPA bowl of pots.
DS and GF are going over to pigpen land this afternoon and staying overnight at GF's parents - for 24 hours I will be home alone with Sweetie.
I wrote this ages ago and didn't post it - like I said attention span - gnat.

JOJO is it possible to have a lock of some sort on your door to keep the children out? and a Window glass type hatch way put in the wall near the door so you can speak to them when you are ready?GI well done on the mortgage2 x Wm done, used TD to get them sort of dry, now in airing cupboard.Various boring things going on here.My sciatic nerve and what other nerve runs down to your ankle are causing me real grief yesterday and toady, so I have a hot water bottle on the bit near my bum to see if I can ease it off.Breast Cancer Now 100 miles October 2022 100 / 100miles

Checking my list for stuff I actually planned to do.. I need to hang up wet laundry now.. I can then crack on with my room.I have ...fed the girls and myself,put a few bits together for CS,asked Boog and DS2 to sort some stuff from their rooms to be shunted into the loft.Told boog 4 times to 'STOP MAKING STUPID NOISES!!!!' so flouncing to the bedroom was required.. at 20.. seriously... Stupid noises plus 4 girls eating crisps was too much.
Dot got dressed... in different pjs.. I give up!
Next VIP sale order arrived.. most prepped to return.. size 12 tops being too big for me.. that's just silly.. Most of the ones I wear are 14 because I like them roomy, but not that roomy!! The straps fell off my shoulders and if I lean over my innards are on display.. NOT a pretty sight! a new bra to try on and 2 tops and they might be being returned too, they look too big too. I got a very nice tshirt for DS1 for christmas though.
And I am waffling again (I do NOT like tidying my room!).. laundry.. bedroom...

GI, we are having leek and potato soup too - with HM cheese scones.
It's DSis-i-L's birthday today. I had to remind DH to order flowers and post a card for her (yesterday) and ring her (today) but she is apparently deep in conversation whenever he tries to get through.
I have sorted the papers in the magazine files by the desk and filed a heap of them; the rest are all being processed in one way or another. WMx1 of 2 is just finishing.
The rain is getting worse - Rosie will not enjoy her walk later, but earlier, through the open chink of window, I heard squeals of laughter and saw a toddler playing in the deep puddle on the bend of the lane (non-metalled road), being watched by both parents and recorded for posterity on video. Great fun!8
