Afternoon all

All the best for tomorrow Rach, hope it all goes really well for you

Get better vibes to all the ill people, and Happy Birthdays to anybody celebrating (or not).

Two loads of washing done, including the throws from the living room, and all hung outside for the second day running! It's bright here, occasionally sunny, and breezy but not so windy it will blow the washing off the line. Just right

Vacuumed through downstairs. I cleaned all the bedrooms on Wednesday, just had to tidy up a couple of things that DD flung in the spare room last night. Then I went through the last top box on our wardrobe and flung some stuff - some in the bin (absolute rubbish), recycled booklets (Teignmouth 1994 anyone?) and shredded loads of old payslips - kept P60s.

DH hasn't touched the stuff I left him to sort through yesterday but it's staying there until he does.

Still got stuff in the box but it doesn't all fall out when you open it now and you won't have to take most of it out to find something. Much better. Makes me feel better anyway.

OK. Off to wipe dog's feet again. I hope this better weather dries the ground up a bit.

I can tell you that it's not dried up yet.......

Thanks Dusty I have piccies again. Ok pigpen it's avators not aviators (sniggers to herself).

Just taken my mum's elderly cat to the vet for her and she had to be put to sleep. Massive tumour in her stomach though she'd been fine until two days ago. Really sad as she was a kitten when I last lived at home. At least she's not suffering now.

I've got a coat, a posh raincoat, never worn which cost over £200 new (don't ask why I got it)! Will something like that sell on ebay or will it go for pence?

Done no flying as spent the morning trying to buy a haggis for hubby xx

Mudbath

OMG i've just searched and they're going for 55p! I'll have a bust reduction before I sell for that! Mmmmm, now how much would that cost, lol!

lil_me

Bloomin heck, I was scared of the noises and moving of the conservatory roof, more so now DP told me he spent 45 minutes putting it back together last night, **shudders**. Small trampoline can stay where it's blown to as it's dug itself in next to the fence, 12ft one has now moved 10 foot >>>> sheeesh, this wind is scary!

Spent an hour in DS1s room so far, looks like I've never been in, oh well, back to it I suppose!

Dustykitten

Have had fun putting my boots stuff away and sorted out a whole draw of carp in the process. I now do have all the plasters/sticky plaster stuff/wound dressing/heat rub etc all in one old jacobs craker tub rather than in various places which is so very organised for me and give a great use to the tub too! Now the boring bit of all the wet wiping hoovering. Tash done so that is good.

Mudbath so sorry to hear about your mum's cat it is so sad to loose a pet. How is your eye? Has one of your boobs deflated after it sustained a puncture yesterday?

Mudbath

Sadly no deflation or i'd be stabbing the other one! Lol! Eye is red and a bit sore but not too bad at all. I need to get up off my backside and do something. Anyone for a 230 till 3pm HHC? xx
