Good morning!
No paid stuff today (yay!) I turned my alarm off and slept for another 45mins. I had planned to go for a run, but wasn't going to go at 8am when everyone is on their way to school & work! Too embarrassing
I will walk the dog later instead.....
I have had a cuppa, but no breakfast yet, so that is next (well, brunch!). I have cleaned the upstairs toilet & sink, opened the windows, done a dark wash & the towels are swishing now. I have glugged unblocker stuff down the bath plughole. I have also checked the bank accounts. Not too bad so far - lets hope I haven't peaked too early!
Lots of posivibes being sent to DM for this afternoon.
Have a good day everyone!8 -
Hello ladies! Just popping by to give a wave - Iona messaged me the other day and I realised it has been months since I checked in (or did any flying...)
So much has happened, but Tiny and Small are both back in school now and I'm free from the hell of homeschooling! Just as well, as we had 9 puppies arrive in the night on Sunday/Monday and 25 chicks also hatched, so it's go, go, go!
I'm hoping to rejoin Fred (if allowed) next week, but it will be mild fluttering until I get back in the swing of things...
Off to wrap 12 hatching eggs ready to post on my way past PO at school pick up TTFN - I've missed you all!11 -
Back from the shop, mirror returned to Dun£lm, food bought for fat furry beasts and packed lunches, all put away.. and scoffed my lunch..
DO NOT RUN OUT OF CAT FOOD EVER AGAIN!!!!
I was ambushed as I came through the door carrying it!!!
I got the usual 6 sachets out (8 cats.. 1 eats upstairs and one only eats dry food)
Percy leaped in the first dish (he had been eating cardboard while I was out!) Hazel shoved Percy off the bowl. Percy went to the second bowl but Polly was already there and growled at him. Pudding shoved his head in the third bowl but Percy was not having that so he shoved him out. Pudding was most upset by this and stepped on Treacles head to get the 4th dish. Treacle was quite put out and a bit disorientated and dithered about a bit. The 5th and 6th dishes were filled while she was still dazed so I had to put one in front of her and stuff her nose in it. I moved to put the empty packs in the bin and Nutkin came flying in and looked at me with his 'so where's MY dinner' face.. Then Noz came in and stepped on everyone to get to the biscuits because it was food time and he likes company when he eats. Pumpkin slithered herself in to hoover up some bits when the others had cleared some room.. Honestly, it was a riot!
OH being allowed food then he has post office, chemist and opticians to deal with. I might go with him just go not be in the house.. I don't want to do housey things not a need for exercise or anything, I'm just lazy! I have a curtain pole to go up.

Hi Dizzy! 👋 Spring has certainly sprung in your neck of the woods! 🐕🐣
Thinking of DM 🤞
Towels in TD, load 1 dried & folded. Bedroom, stairs, landing & bathroom vac'd. Vac emptied a few times, and brush cleared of long hairs. Emails checked. Parcel received - no box this time! I will have to open it & find somewhere to put the contents before DH gets home! 🤣 I really need to sort the toys out, but can't when I'm working (for obvious reasons!) and can't when I'm not working because of the dog! (serial toy stealer!) 🤷♀️
Next on the hit list is empty DW, restack & WU whats left, then wipe down the kitchen, empty TD and wash the filter. I am getting a small puddle when it's on which is usually a sign that needs doing! The dog needs a walk, but I am waiting for a break in the rain.8 -
I had to giggle at you going up a curtain pole......training to be a fire fighter? Sorry I'm just going out.....pigpen said:. I don't want to do housey things not a need for exercise or anything, I'm just lazy! I have a curtain pole to go up.
Wave to Dizzy.
Good luck DM.
Managed my first remote assessment yesterday without any major IT incidents. Lovely patient young lady being assessed managed to see/hear everything so I've just got to write it up in the proper format now.
Dropped the car off for MOT this morning; it must be flylady car MOT week but I've just collected it, passed. I wore my running gear and went for a shortish one from the garage (in the village). When I picked it up just now the guy said he'd been getting worried as he had thought I may jog in to collect the car on my way back.....eek....5hr runs I do not do.
Gave the shower cubicle a good clean when I'd used it today.
Had a Zoom with a friend.
Just off to drum lesson.Remember...a layer of dust protects the wood beneath it.8 -
Been researching Car Insurance but it's actually too soon. It would help if I had the faintest idea who I'm insured with - all I can find is the renewal letter from last year ... unless I have a special folder in my email (LIGHT BULB MOMENT)
Nope...
all I know is I got free breakdown cover with the policy...Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily Dickinson
