Finally caught up with the thread and I've forgotten to bring my list with me to strike out. Just about sums up my evening, everything I've done since coming home has been half wrong. Grrrr.
Anyway, I did do the things on my list. I abandonded trying to fix the sofa covers - too many snags and a great hole in the seam. I despair of the one cat. They're being PITAs 'cos they won't go out while there's snow and are doing the cat equivalent of couped up bored kids.
Big congrats to embb, yee ha! dead chuffed for you!
Money Gypsy, go on.. I'm curious about the 11 minute timer, why is it 11 mins? You could set it 3 times (thrice?) and do a HalfHour-ishChallenge?
Serena,good going on the garage. You've reminded me that mine's become a tip again. Maybe a weekend job for me.
Hugs for Michelle and JillD and anyone I've missed.
welcome to the thread more lovely new folks!

I don't know where my evening went, I might have to start setting a timer for reading posts on here! Going to keep this shortish to assist those trawling through later plus I've no thrills or spills to report.
Back tomorrow but I might be doing Thursday jobs as I'm out Thursday and Wednesday doesn't need doing but Torchwood does else I'd go out tomorrow.I'll leave you with that one. x

Oh did someone have to mention Ladette to Lady being back on, not a hope me getting anything done now................waiting for DP to phone to say on way home so can do his tea.....will dash in the shower as soon as this finishes.

Just looking to find ways of getting the most Tesco codes I can. Thinking of taking the kids on holiday by saving up for the vouchers.......about the only way I think I will get DS1 to his Sea World dream without getting into a pile of debt. I don't usually use them much, tend to use Asda, but changing might be worth it. Oh but thank you Pink Fairy for showing me where DS2s wolf dream can come true! I'm just waiting for an email back.

Evening ladies glad we are all checking in and as sane as most of us ever get.

I so enjoyed my pilates - I have really missed it since I stopped going to the class so I am determined to do some most days at home - how did you get on with yours mudbath? Bit worrying that my hip clicked everytime I did the leg circles but that was my wooden one so sure it is ok.

Poohbear thanks for the infor on Mr T, I need to do my recycling for points so will pop in, OH wants a ball to sit on at work as I have his so he can have the ball and I can have the book. Sorry to disillusion you but my 32"ers cause me no problems when exercising. I will find the link for those who were intrigued.

skintscotslass be careful with just salt, too much can make it slippy, salt/sand mix or gritsalt is usually better to use.

Thanks for that lil_me. I usually use grit. Because it snows so much here, each street has a huge grit bucket and we just help outselves. I was just too lazy after all my flying to find a suitable container and walk up the street to collect it Need to stick 'find a suitable container' on my list of things to do. And 'buy and snow shovel' DD broke mine a couple of years ago and I havent got round to buying another one. :snow_grin:snow_grin

Me too, must be all as crackers as each other by now

Is it just me or are these ladettes a little more 'wild' than the last ones :rotfl:

Oh and Bedroom Day haters, I don't like it either, well actually I don't like any of the days :rotfl::o but needs must!!!

skintscotslass, I found out unfortunately by experience in the last house, I used just salt one night, the next morning I went from top step to bottom (7 in total) and ended up covered in bruises
