Afternoon all: dashed in to ask if there's been any sign of JoJo lately??

Right, off to sort the floordrobe so I can then vacuum...

No, I have messaged her on FB but she isn't hugely active on there though she has seen I messaged..

Vacuumed the bit of stairs and landing that were really bad - it only takes a few minutes, so I don't know quite why I procrastinate as much as I do over Flying generally.  I've also decluttered a biscuit packet mix (and sadly and stupidly all the biscuits, too), taken three things out of a freezer for tonight and lunches for the rest of the week and done some admin.  And tidied the dining room.  It gather gibble, that room, like a rhino gathers egrets.

The herb seeds I planted in a neighbour's pots are coming on nicely and I'm pleased to say the basil is the first to show some perky little leaves.  

Anyone else having nasty error messages from Microsoft about hooky Windows programmes?  I had no idea the system we were using wasn't genuine and apparently if we want to pay over £200 (per computer!) or £7 a month for all of them we'll be legal.  Not a happy MSE bunny At All.  I'm going to rage tidy my office.

HB, have you checked (Googled) to see if the Microsoft messages are genuine?
The rhino image is an interesting one!  I wish all my gibble looked like egrets, though I daresay I'd get sick of picking up the feathers.

I managed to do a big chunk of admin before taking Rosie for her walk.
DH is doing the washing up, so I shall have to S&S the kitchen again later.  Must make up his bed, too.

Valli

I have flown...two binfuls of recycling out, kitchen bin emptied, towels washed then they can go out on the line tomorrow.  I have chirpily informed everyone at work that I have two weekends this week as I am of weds/Thurs, back at work fri then off again.  Imagine how well THAT was received. (Valli is ROTFL)
I suspected I had a mouse in this morning - I do.  It's now in the DR hiding behind the units and just ran back in as I typed.  Patio door is open so I'm hoping it takes itself out.  Because mice that find dust bunnies (which i t did) can just fluff right off. 
I have flown at work, a bit, flinging and tidying.

YORKSHIRELASS

Some good progress on here ladies.  I seem to have done 19 hours at work in two days, but I have managed to whiz around with the cordless vac, sort two loads of washing, make a chicken pie and sort the recycling in between work meetings.

Pigpen I nicely pointed out to my colleague that not eating enough is bad for you as your body thinks it is being starved and lays down fat stores, no idea how true that is but it sounded good.

GI we discovered in our first house that they shut the dogs in the bedroom when they went out, there was a very funny smell in there and the carpet underlay was yellow and stuck to the floor when we lifted the carpet, we had to scrape it off the floorboards.

Yoga done, PJs on, bedtime soon.

Oh and hope you dont mind me saying HB, that sounds a bit dodgy to me too, make sure you are 100% sure it is genuine before you hand over any money.

Narc0lepsy

Went swimming.
Came back and did a load of gardening. Currently trying to plant out everything lurking outside the greenhouse i.e. things I have a few too many of - ended up making another hanging basket which took many of them, and I remembered a hook under the arbour so have hung it there. 
Got paperwork ready for tomorrow's face to face assessment (looks a tricky one) and Thursday's remote one.
Sorted out new uni two-phase authentication system as I went 'live' today. It actually worked, I was dreading it. Let's hope it works at uni tomorrow too.
Started what - until tomorrow - is my last report.
Sent off meter readings.  Updated Excel as this utilities company doesn't give nice graphs like our last one.
Did Zoom bible reading group.
Cooked dinner, actually not too much.   Reviewed kitchen contents with plan to drop in at Mr Al on my way home from uni tomorrow.
Did drum practice.

Mademoiselle

Morning,AM home all day today so hope to FLY, but Fibre internet being fitted as I type, chap arrived at 07.35 (they said 8 so pretty good) ad by 07.45 was drilling with a 50 cm long drill bit through my thick walls (150+ year old house).  Just hoping he will done soon.  OH working from home too so I guess we are going to need plenty of coffee

HB  I have to agree it does sound dodgy, please make checks / or run it pass the teckkie s on this site to check it is not a scam.
