Hi Pixiedust, love your user name BTW, we all need a bit of pixie dust in our life
I can tell you it was as much :eek: for me as it was for you :rotfl:
The 4th load (and last!) is ready to go but will do that to-morrow now as sick of drying stuff. It's not that I don't wash regularly mindone load was bedding, the next wools and the next a 'normal' wash. Hope you had a good time catching up with diaries in your jim-jams, I'm jealous
That's an impressive done-list for that time of the morning! I've dragged myself into work... think that will pretty much my only achievement for the day.
Thanks tea lover (another good name!) I was pleased to get some jobs done too but loads more housework to go I'm afraid. Hope you had a good day at work
Regards

Yes, it does make you wonder Lula, it seems to be the same with many tradespeople, I've lost count of the number of times people don't call you back and currently a family member been waiting two weeks for a carpet fitter to give her a time and date to do the job
Deep sigh

Well I've shut up work for the day. It's only 5.30 but already done 10.5 hours and I'm flagging a bit after the 3.41 wakey ups!
The ironing board is just about to go up for the second time today which is unheard of but I don't mind, me and Tilly are weird like that in that we enjoy ironing
It feels good to be making some inroads into my untidy house so will try and report back later on what I've got done
PS, had yummy HM veggie curry for lunch with boiled rice, delish and I'm having the same again for dinner:j

Anyone for a free [EMAIL="GR@ze"]GR@ze[/EMAIL] box?
I got a voucher last week for a freebie. It arrived today with a code in to share with friends so if anyone wants a copy drop me a PM
If it's anything like mine I had to register to get the free one and you then have to cancel it after that or they keep coming through
Not had one before but seen others with them, only nibbled one item so far today but twas very nice
Regards

Not too bad a day workwise, more steady rather than the usual madhouse
I've finished the next batch of ironing though will be a bit more to-morrow when it's all dried
Just filed a load of paperwork following the doneathon I had a couple of weeks ago that generated lots of filing. Still a wee bit more to do though
I've also sorted the car insurance too, in the end I cancelled my current policy as the car manufacturer offered me a really good deal including paying my cancellation charges to the current company
A nice NSD day tooMFW Start Date 1.4.08. Updated 23.1.18. MFW date 1.8.18

Well a nice £5 Mr T voucher received this morning. The only problem is I only go there about once a year; I'm collecting them with a vague aim of swapping them for some tickets of some description, think I've got about £16 of vouchers now
Third NSD in a row for me and no longer have to go away for work so that is good

So today I have
- done one load of washing
- ironed all the bedding for guest room and put back on
- cleaned guest room from top to bottom incl.
- bed frame cleaned
- windows cleaned
- all paintwork cleaned
- all glass wardrobe doors cleaned (I had a visitor of the small persuasion at the weekend who took his glass of lemonade in the guest room and then promptly decided to stick his hands in the glass and smear them on the doors :eek:
- hovered
- bees waxed and polished bedside cabinet
It's a bit early for lunch but I had an earlyish start and forgot to have brekkies
Regards

ironing bedding? you really must enjoy it!
Wish I had your energy today, I'm still in my pjs and have no inclination to get goingknow thyselfNid wy'n gofyn bywyd moethus...0 -
impressive. I never bother to put clean stuff on the guest beds until just before guests arrive - you can guarantee someone will leave the door open and everything will be covered in muddy dog prints if I did.
