I await instructions from LJD!

Oh my goodness....PRESSURE! If you look at my list it's on there!

I had an insurance offer through from them two years ago offering two years for £22 to cover it my old dyson. As we knew it needed a new hose we went for it and they ended up replacing half the dyson. It's gone a bit dodgy again and i've been offered a year for £22 so i've taken it up and am phoning them once we've got the thing to stand upright again. It's the only time insurance has been worth it xx

Lol :beer:

Just noticed (on about the 8th trip to check the washing machine) that I hadn't even put it on. I am seriously wondering if I have a memory problem! I went to town today to do the banking and didn't take it with me. Help! xx

Don't worry twinny I have today put pegs in the bin rather than the peg bag and socks in the bin rather than the WM

Evening all!

I've had a great day flying, but I've realised I can't do this every evening I come in from work as I've only just finished :eek:

This morning (6am - groan) I swished/swiped bathroom sink/toilet, and kitchen sink.
I loaded up the slow cooker for the day, and made my lunch, then breakfast. I unloaded WM and left a basket of wet washing outside the lounge door for DH to hang on clothes horse when he got up - which he did :T

Went to work for 12 hours

Home again - peeled spuds for mash, and served with sausage casserole from slow cooker and veg. - enough left over for my lunch tomorrow, so that's one less job in the morning.

Then:

I've realised I'm going to burn out after such a long working day if I do all this, though, so I'll definitely only pick one extra task tomorrow - unless it's something quick!

Have a good day tomorrow folks.
