Good morning everyone, Hope everyone is doing well. 

My list for today:

• Phone garage regarding test drive of the car that I've been looking at, as found out last night that I won't be getting mine back. 
• Put food out for the birds
• Do paid stuff
• Order the stationery for going back to school & uni. 
• Do freelance stuff
• Do 1 load of laundry
• Find the rest of the paperwork for completing tax credit renewal
• Declutter 100 emails from inbox
• Sort through the ironing pile and put away items that don't need to be ironed. 

I think that is enough for me to focus on today. I feel that I have gone from one extreme to another as my lists used to be so long now there is hardly anything on them.

Morning All,

After my day of sloth yesterday I am determined to be more productive today. So far I have:

- Done the school run
- Delivered two lots of eggs
- Done x1 WM
- Unloaded the DW
- Baked some shortbread

Now to do a bit of admin, then I am seeing a friend for a cuppa at noon x

Birds fed

Shower cleaned inc the drain

Bin out and cleaned

Kitchen cleaned

Chilli made / portioned / in freezer

New turf pulled at, it seems to be set in so I'm going to cut it.

WM done out on whirly, OH instructed to watch the clouds in case it rains.

Missing deer from the field reappeared, mother plus a very small fawn, they didn't stay long, the high winds was

 moving the grass (6 foot tall) about the fawn got scared, I did manage 3 very poor photos. truly magical

This morning while tieing up the holly hocks & fox gloves saw 4 very small frogs hopping about in the flower bed, that high wind has a lot to answer for, knocking my flowers over...............

Mademoiselle

Thank you all for your birthay wishes and GI sorry yours wasn't great.  

DD1 is home today and has helped clear the dining room back to its former glory.  I also took all the stuff that had been collection in there to the tip.  They have a section where you can put stuff for CS etc which is very useful.  It's funny how actually getting the stuff out of the house has made me feel much better and motivated to carry on.

Ironing up to date
Bed made, clothes picked up
Lunch sorted, just waiting for OH to come home 
Kitchen tidied & WULTD
DW on
WM x 2

Taking DD1 shopping after lunch, we both need new underwear

Hello all
sorry I missed your birthday mademoiselle; hope you had a good one!
Absolute madness at work which I have escaped today because I had an xray appointment.  It is causing massive stress...report writing is on hold.

I have emptied bins and taken rubbish out (black bin day tomorrow); made 3 jellies for lunches, made two pots of overnight oats for breakfasts, emptied DW.  Now to prep for tomorrow and Friday.

Goodintentions

Good afternoon 😊 
Thank you for the birthday wishes and sympathy. I am such a grumpy old bag! 🤣 I am laying on the bed to get away from the wittering! It drives me nuts, but I can't say anything to anyone because it is nothing and that would be hurtful. They are both lovely ladies with heart of gold.....but so flipping irritating at the same time! 😂 DD1 knows how I feel, so I will moan to her when I can. Sometimes you just need an outlet to vent. Thank you for being mine this week! 
Mum had a message from my other SiL to say my brother has had a couple of seizures. He is in hospital, and she will keep us posted. Please send lots of positive vibes for him 🙏 I have said quietly to my mum, that if she needs me to take her there I will. We have 2 cars here anyway, so it is possible. He lives in Sussex, so it is a fair jaunt from here! However, it is doubtful we could visit him anyway at the moment 😕 

Flying...erm....we put the wheelie bins out earlier.....

Finally....Dove Dale.....what can I say? Absolutely stunning part of the world 😊 MiL crossed the stepping stones and made her way along the craggy path the other side. She is annoying,  but for a 91 Yr old, she is a game old bird! 😂

GI.. Glad you are making the most of it.. and I hope brother is fine and a benign cause found.. seizures are always worrying.

My throat still feel weird.. dr's.. cheeky blighters.. sent a 3rd letter saying I need to make an appointment.. yet tell me I can't have one when I ring on the days I can make it.. so annoying!!!

Finally made it to the thread... but the spare bed is clear, so is the top of the printer, and I have dealt with a heap of papers   However, I still haven't started what was meant to be my main job for today, because the nice GP rang me this morning to recommend that I should start taking statins, and then DS2 rang to let off steam about a meeting he had chaired on Monday night, and kept talking for about an hour and a half - yes, it was that bad!

I was about to stop work shortly before 4.00 and take Rosie out for her walk, but fortunately something held me back, as it suddenly tipped down and the rain has only just stopped.  there is some clear sky coming, so we will try again soon.

GWS thoughts for your brother, GI x
GP booking vibes to pigpen x

(((Hugs))) spoons and sticks to all in need xx

kazwookie

GI good vibes your way.

I picked out the wrong jeans but I got into them and did them up, size 14!!

Chemo for 3 months in 3 weekly cycles, day 1 IV line in hospital for about 3 hours, day 1 to 14 one tablet at home, 1 week off, repeat..... he can go back work, he works at home anyway, but they will write a letter if required, no driving, which also means no motorbike, so why has he just spent about £300 on stuff he is unlikely to use until at least November type time. He seems to be in general terms ok about it. I have to drop off and collect him on hospital days, no going in.

Ironing done

Bin got back in

Kaz Hope Mr K’s treatment goes well. x

Happy belated birthdays to GI, Mademoiselle, Pigpen’s DD, it was mine too 🎂

I’ve been a busy bee. Lots of progress at dancegran’s. 

We have had a storm today and sadly we have had a flood. I think I have managed to save some items. I will check them again tomorrow.

ds1 has a chest infection and is waiting for test results.
ds2 had an unsettled weekend but was ok when I rang him this evening.

GI I love dove dale it, isn’t too far from here.
