Thank you for the lists. I have done zilch flying, but have inadvertently done an Extra - all February cards done, mainly (only) because the birthdays are all in the first 5 days of the month.
I have just lost an hour looking for a pattern for my next knitting project - it’s really decluttering as I have the wool already 😉.
Dinner was previously frozen left overs and use-it-up veg. Mr M due to deliver tomorrow, although just how 1 item has gone up from £2.65 to £5.20 is beyond me. I haven't counted up my no spend days for January, but they are definitely in double figures. Thank you, ASB.
Iona, take it easy x
Pigpen, fingers crossed the dw engineer has turned up.

DW engineer did not turn up.. so I rang and the lying turnip had said he had called (not to my phone!) .. had come to the house (not my house) and there were no more appointments so I'd be waiting indefinitely.. so, I rang the insurance company.. they booked for next Monday after I growled and said the engineer was lying and I have a pregnant woman, a diabetic, an autistic child and 3 people with autistic spectrum conditions and I am not washing pots when I do ever single thing under the sun I deserve one thing done easily.. I am getting the next cancellation..

Anyway.. usually when cooking dinner I load the DW and do pack ups so today I loaded the DW, the WM and the TD AND washed all the pots from the last 36 hours by hand.. they are dry in the DW now.. it is a blooming good drainer.. so either diner took twice as long to cook today or I have mastered the art of manipulating time..

Morning all x

thanks for the thread xx

Piggers meter readings! 

So spent most of yesterday on route to and from the hospital. Honestly it’s the bus journey from hell. OH definitely needs an op on his knee and Dr has said it needs to be asap as it’s causing problems with his hip. 

Went to MR Ts on the way home to get a key cut for DD and pick up a couple of things for dinner. Other than 1x wm and winterdyke I didn’t do any other flying. 

I’m in overthinking mode so I’ve lay awake in bed since 11pm. Just gave up at 3 am and got up and made tea. Work will be fun if I can’t manage a couple of hours.  Might try to read for a bit if I can concentrate.

FFP, hope you got some more sleep.
Morning all.  Just having first cuppa and will then do banking as it's DHs payday today.  Have already prepped yogurt and fed the dog.

Will report back later.

Have a great day everyone.

Morning all,
Day off today, so obviously I woke up an hour before the work alarm would have gone off. Mind then went into work related overdrive, so I read for a bit, then got up, changed bedding and loaded the wm. Having a cuppa and porridge now, then I have an hour or so to MAD somewhere before I have to go to big town to get my hair cut. Mr M due to deliver at lunchtime, then I have admin to do, let alone the remaining 1.5kg of seville oranges which are staring at me reproachfully from the draining board.
Have a good day all - meter readings, piggers!

Morning all,

in bed with a coffee.  I have done WM x 3 and DW x 1.  It’s very blowy so I want to get the washing on the line.

I also want to take boxes to a friend who’s moving (fling) and stuff to the CS, including the dolls stuff from the attic, which I think counts as a super fling.

kazwookie

Very blowy here as well, currently I have about 30 seagulls sitting on the lawn, the cats are indoors 'watching'.

I was told years ago an old fisherman's tale, if seagulls are sitting in lawn then a major storm is on its way.

Ironing done and away

Fire done, logs / kindling done.

Kitchen done

Sausages from depth of freezer out to thaw.

Must go shopping for cats food today, plus 1 x sm milk

Have a day

Morning all.  Piggers, have you read your meters yet?

I was in the WAC for a couple of hours too but eventually went back to sleep until 9.00, so I'm now joining round in the discomnobulated gang.

This house is clean and tidy enough to ignore today - K is coming tomorrow to change beds and clean

Rang wound clinic as instructed  I don't need to visit them atm - I have my instructions

I am about to go out and do the CS drop-off and shopping that I didn't do yesterday.  Meanwhile DH will go to SW, and we (him, me and Rosie) will meet up again at lunchtime to go out for his birthday lunch and a walk up the big hill - hopefully to the very top this time.

Catch up later xxx
