Maggot bin filled.Mogs fed
Beasts dumped at school.. Twinkle was a total ah this morning.. making noise because she was not allowed any electronic devices.. this is not a new thing!! She has dentist at 11:40 so I need to collect her from school about 11:15.. I doubt she will be going back by the time the appointment has been an hour late, she has had her tiny filling we waited half an hour then she has eaten her lunch it will likely be 2ish.. She can read a book or something.

Quiet isnt it Pigpen, think people are hibernating.
Busy day here working from home, managed a HIIT workout first thing. Did two loads of washing then it poured down. Oh then DH came home soaked through so I have laundry everywhere.
Have run the hoover around and tidied the kitchen.
Online meeting at 6.30pm, better get myself onto the laptop!5 -
Morning my lovelies xx
I'm here, lurking along. My first week back at work after Annual Leave has been ermmmm interesting shall we say. First day back it took 10 minutes for the smile to be wiped off my face and half a day later I felt like I needed a few days off. The pinnacle was yesterday morning when I screamed so loud with frustration that colleagues came running from offices on both sides. Total meltdown. Went for a walk. Sat in my car for 10 minutes. Then returned to work. Long story short: high ups got involved and middle manager had to stop fudging and provide solutions. Maybe I need to lose my temper more often!!! But it's so exhausting. And I have no energy left for flying when I come home. I just say Hi to the spiders and ignore the cobwebs.....you think I'm kidding? 🤔 Unfortunately not.
Anyhoo. Today is a new day. It's Friyayyyyyy 💃. I do make my bed and feed the birds every day. And put out the recycling.
Wishing you all a good day. Wish me luck as I collect my boxing gloves and go in for another round. Ommmmmm.

Morning all.
Enormous (((hugs))) to round xx and anyone else in need xxx
Life has got crazier this week since C@dent (the company responsible for the gas pipe network in this area) discovered 6 houses including ours which were not even on their maps. We now have a big hole outside our back gate, an oil-filled electric radiator* to keep us warm tomorrow when they turn our mains off in order to replace the pipes with yellow snakes, and a pile of coats on the dining table with more to be dragged out of the cupboard under the stairs this evening so that they can get to the meter. Grrr!
*The radiator (or we could have had fan heaters or electric blankets) is free and ours to keep because we are on the Priority Services Register. We've also had extra visits from the site manager to make sure we're OK. I do heartily recommend that anyone eligible joins the PSR - it covers people with chronic health conditions and other disabilities, but you have to register yourself, it's not automatic. Details on your gas or electricity website.
I have to go to the gym now and get back by 3.00 to meet the chief engineer to sort out where they will route our new mains pipe, as a garage with concrete floor was built onto the side of the house some time after its original construction - it's now my utility. Flying will be limited today and tomorrow but will involve cleaning out the cupboard under the stairs and the back porch, so not all bad.
Catch up later. Hope the sun is shining where you are xxx4 -
Sorry you've had a rubbish week Round. Hope the solutions work out.I cleaned the bathroom and toilet fully this morning (not just the toilet and sink which is what I do when I don't have the energy for the full thing). I've been through the rest of the house this week, dusting and vacuuming and I've kept up with the washing. Along with school runs with my granddaughter, hospital runs with my daughter etc etc. I'm just tired.5

Thank you kaz, iona and Pollybear xxx
This morning was tough but this afternoon was much better and now it's weekend woot woot 💃💃
I called at the PO on my way home and paid my rent. I've put out all the recycling including ripping up a cardboard box and recycling it. And I'm about to eat freezer pizza and watch telly.
Got my gas bill for the last 3 months. Gulp. Bit steep. But hoping less usage in the summer months will average it out. I've not needed the heating on for a few nights this week - but I think it's turned cold again this evening. So it's on again.
Much love toall

Well done for keeping going Round. Weekend now and Monday is a new week x
Paid stuff done. Took DS for his hospital treatment. Traffic was horrendous, a journey that should have taken me and hour and half took over an hour longer.
Iona what a nightmare! Hope you aren't too cold.
Glad it's weekend. Feet up now.5 -
OMG I've literally just realised that I didn't post up today's (Friday) list for you all.
I was totally exhausted last night and it slipped my mind, and the today I was so doped up on painkillers the day just went in a blur.
I will not let it happen again, I promise you all.
But where is everyone? It's so quiet and only 4 pages...has everyone emigrated?
Hugs and spoons everyone xxxMortgage Free as of 20.9.17Declutter challenge 2023, 2024 🏅 🏅⭐️⭐️
