Thanks for Wipy Wednesday, Valli   Hope all is well with you and yours x

Hope your migraine is improving, pigpen x

I need to make up for lost time from yesterday.  Had an early night, so woke up at silly o'clock, but have therefore already drunk 2 mugs of tea, caught up with the news, FU the pillowcases I ironed yesterday and DH's clean T-shirts and socks, put out the bins at 6.00am (which DH should have done last night - the bin men come very early), sent some emails, started my to-do lists for next month with a note of birthday and other cards to be sent, and tried to order Christmas cards but the website won't let me check out

The gardener is due at 9.00 so I'd better get showered and dressed - the noise of the shower might also wake DH... or not.

I want to do a bit of shopping and make Christmas puds and cakes.

(((Hugs))) spoons and sticks all round, as needed xxx

HB I think you are right, it is a new box of food I have just opened.

MSE letter, go in to MrM cafe ask for Henry foc, jacket and beans yum yum.

Part walk done, picked up OH's prescription on the way round.

Inside of windows in conservatory cleaned.

South blustery wind here

General daily stuff done

pigpen

binbag filled with rubbish.

3 parcels collected.

OH has loaded the DW
Dot is in the shower

Dot and Pixie are off to a party 1-3 so OH is in charge of that. I will shuffle laundry and get some more hung up while he is out.
When he gets back we are doing the Dun£lm, BnCue, cat litter, food shop dash..

My head feels better but I am incredibly tired so going to struggle getting everything done.

I am going to measure up the hallway and loo for vinyl flooring and have a peek in the carpet shop at remnants for grandpink. I also need to have a scour the local ads for a (hopefully free) wardrobe for DD1's house.

Then we need to order a new freezer.. mine is beyond saving.

Wipy Wednesday - bathroom

I must have had a premonition this morning.
As I hopped into the shower before work I thought it was looking a little grotty so splashed the bleach around before I got in. Cleaned the loo and sink while I had the bleach in hand.
I'll the lob the towels in the WM when I get home from work.

Raph.. Bungalow is gorgeous.. she may make up for the 8 legged sibling

Oop sorry Pigpen, only just seen your message!
I always assumed axoltls were shy, but he's (I think its a boy, there are small 'lumps' developing under his tail.) started coming up to the surface when I'm hovering over the tank. He isn't quite brave enough yet to take food from my fingers, but I think it won't be long.
As for 'the' sibling...I have around 50 of the leggy ones

Whoops, just remembered that this evening’s flying was HHI. It will have to wait for another day.
Another load in the wm for the morning. Wipy Wednesday happened yesterday, hurrah. Otherwise very little to show for the day.

That's a great pumpkin Raphael.  Morning all.
No flying or paid stuff here today.  We have workmen in for two days doing work in every room.  No power either so I'll be reading a book or knitting.
Have a great day everyone.

Morning all

Great pumpkin raphael!

Been a funny old week, been feeling a bit out of sorts and not 100%, not sure why.  Had my appraisal at work and they said how calm and in control I am at work - and it got me thinking that it's all an act and I just bottle everything up which probably isnt healthy!

Working from home today, going to do a workout first, then tomorrow I am taking the day off to take Mum shopping.  I do need to do some flying, DW is on, not sure about washing as there is a lot of rain about today and tomorrow.

And I see some of you are doing Christmas cakes - I need to get on with that too!

Much love all, downhill to the weekend now.
