In the WAC since 1am so forget there being any bourbons left for tonight. I am offering shortbread fingers, if anyone cares to join me tonight / in the early hours.8 -
Kissmenow totally understandable that you are worried but first babies very rarely come quickly, I think you will be OK. Listen to your body though, if you feel like you need to rest do it.
Paid stuff done, feel a bit flat and a bit tired at the moment. Trying to massively reduce my caffeine intake following medical advice (bladder inflammation) and its a bit of an effort. Been for a facial which was lovely, but it's not cheap so need to save up before I have another.
Have changed our bed and sorted the kitchen, but thats about it. Wont be late to bed. Hoping to have some time off on Thursday and Friday because my brother is up North, but that means doing three days work tomorrow.

roundtuit said:Oh my days Narc0 what a lovely photo. Look at it's little face. Serious sloth envy here now.
Anyway back to the day's report:
- put on DW. Then had to re wash most items as it had a hissy fit and baked on goodness knows what over everything.
- gym swim
- filled bird feeders
- had a much better clean and tidy of the kitchen than yesterday, including sweeping and mopping the floor, wiping cupboards etc
- finished another report, just needs a final check tomorrow.
- put a few more garments in the new wardrobes, trying on any I wasn't sure about.
Remember...a layer of dust protects the wood beneath it.9 -

What a marvellous fund-raiser idea by Dartmoor Zoo Valli. I hope said cockroach has a short life. I won't wish it a miserable one because it's safely in captivity but cockroaches are vile, vile creatures, much like two or more PMs we've had inflicted on us.Serious sloth envy here, too.Today I must finish both letting rooms and the shower room, and then possibly sweep and mop the kitchen floor. We have a friend coming to stay and, sadly for me, the kitchen floor is at eye-height when sitting at the dining table and I have a smidge of pride, not much, but enough to get me kitchen floor-washing occasionally.Better is good enough.8

Pots washed.. 3 pans need soaking so I will do those later.
Twinkle in time out .. for 27 minutes.. I am so fed up of her behaviour! She is being vile.. screaming and throwing things and hitting her sisters.. I am not having it!
I have washing to go in and out and airers to clear..
I need to collect medication and purchase fruit and salad and cucumber and 'shrooms.
I have the front room to dig out a bit
The table needs a scrub
1 parcel to package
ebay stuff to deactivate and a few bits to add on there.. some stuff you can't sell on V!nted
cat trays to sort
decide about Friday with Twinkle .. do I indulge her after this really bad behaviour week and take her to soft play with her friend? I do we take all of them to the park? Or do I have people overload and do none of it?!
Best feed the turnips first before they eat the cats

Final chemo had. PICC line removed *ouch* (instruction to look away and breathe deeply ignored - I am interested and I wanted to watch - and I'm not a fainter). That was one long tube. Bell rung.
Floors vacuumed. Hair removed from roler (again). Bins being emptied in readiness for bin men coming tomorrow.

Yaaaaaaay!!! for the final chemo, Valli
I have
- finished transcribing an 1840 Will
- persuaded (easily) the gardener to clear out the back gutter, so both are now done
- been to the gym where my blood pressure was sky high, so I have to monitor it at home again, twice a day, until Monday when the gym director will review the results (if I need to see the GP or consultant, they can get me in quick)
- taken decluttered bits and pieces to the CS
- decluttered my large orange sewing box which I have hated for about 40 years, and treated myself to a new, smaller, clear, cheapo one which is small enoughto hide away neatly in the new drawer under the work table whilst big enough to hold everything that I need to keep in it. Most of the decluttered bits can go to our local Crafting for Communities charity, and the old box will go to the CS on my next trip. I've been trying to replace it for 25 years - it was bought for me by my ex, so perhaps I should name it after him. Failing that, a cockroach would be a good substitute!
- taken my BP at 4.00 as directed
- told Rosie I will take her for a walk. The sun is just setting, so I'd better shift myself and go out with her.
