Morning ladies,

Haven't had chance to fully read back but sending big strength and FFP xx
Dizzy - I know that face well, my DH has it too when he's poorly...

Blowing a gale here, kiddies awake a lot in the night with it. Kitchen is a tip - DH' brother came for tea last night which was lovely but by the time he left I CBA to tidy up. Going out this morning to the blue and yellow shed so will ignore it for a few hours

then crack on once I'm home.

Will pop back later xx

Morning all
Hugs to everyone that needs them
FFP take pigpen's advice it's spot on.

Managed to get Drs appt for this morning so heading down there in a bit. Got friends I've not seen for years visiting today, random phone call last night which was a lovely surprise so need to s&s kitchen and bathroom and tell ds2 to listen for the door while I'm out incase they are early.

Hope everyone stayed safe in last nights storms. X

Good morning.

Wild and windy night here, still blowing a gale. Fences leaning at angles, bins huddling in a corner where they weren't when I last looked.

Washing mountain is out of control, ironing basket is breeding and there is dust literally everywhere.

Yep - ditto - that's my day sorted too

. Added to that the darn school shoes saga, as they are out of stock on line, plus my car has developed a warning light, which of course it couldn't have got in the 2 weeks that I haven't been at work. Bedding changed and in wm, ironing might be next on the list. Catch you all later.

Back from Drs apparently my ear looks ok so it could be a middle or inner ear infection which they will only know if my eardrum perforates I can take ibrofpropen and am to try not to pop my ear. The Drs were too busy so they had a nurse doing nonurgent cold related appt to clear them quickly. Oh and I must go back if I get worse or ear starts producing yucky stuff.

I did go in Tesco and buy some reduced baby and children's clothes so not a complete waste of a morning.

Going for a cuppa now then I'll get on.

Afternoon all

Hope everyone okay after all the gales etc and no real damage done. We had the howling wind here, but on the front, so quiet in bedroom thank goodness.

Just wanting to up-date list. I'm still feeling a bit disorganised for some reason - probably not helping having DH here all the time as well and having to work round him.

Tuesday ~ Kitchen and Living Room
Vacuum and wipe (if needed) sofas

Wednesday ~ Master Bedroom
Remove and wash bed linen.
Vacuum mattress before replacing with fresh linen, air the bed if possible
Vacuum floors in bedroom and on landing
Clear a hotspot., or spend 15 minutes clearing one.

Extra tasks list,
Check the airing cupboard, anything that is way past it's use by
Clean tops of wardrobes and drawers (if safe to do so, no pregnant flyladies on ladders please delegate the job instead)
Check through undies drawers, anything more holy than the church which needs to go/be repaired? Anyone need anything replacing?

Right - off to finish the hoovering then will have some lunch. Scrambles on toast today I think

Hugs all
Laters Lx

Well, after my 11am lie-in yesterday, we managed 8am this morning. (Alarm at 7 but we dozed)

Finally got my a**e to the gym. The plan to change gyms and go more in November back-fired hugely because of work. I haven’t been for weeks. OUCH. LBT will hurt a lot tomorrow. I also tried a Pilates class. Just because I could. Rather nice.

I like their brand new timetable. Lots of classes for me to try in my 3 month sabbatical (translated as clear house, pack house, find new house, move, rent out old house).

Me time at the moment. I’m waiting to hear about funeral arrangements as if I’m flying down to London I might as well keep going down to Truro with sisters car to scope things out. If that doesn’t work, I’ll be going after a) the trip I may need to the Canadian embasssy, b) after the skiing holiday, c) during what should have been my skiing holiday.

I HATE not being able to plan.

OK. HHC. I did the bedroom yesterday. Kitchen and laundry on the cards.

Mumof2_2 · 3 January 2018 at 3:52PM

Not done any housework today but did muck out 2 stables and sweep the yard plus do 4 hay nets and 2 feeds though feel that may not count?!! Stopped in to my friends after and had lunch with her (Huck's owner) then back and been typing ever since. Think I'm going to have to try to fly after tea tonight.

Hope everyone is OK with all the wind; it's picking up here I'm sure and the windows seem to be rattling; horrible.

YORKSHIRELASS · 3 January 2018 at 3:56PM

Hi all

I shoved a load of laundry in the tumbler this morning although I have now hung another load out. Really cold out there but not as windy now as it was.

Made stew to put in sc first thing, sorted washing, mopped kitchen floor and tidied.

Paid stuff no 1 done, on with paid stuff no. 2 now but having computer problems so not sure how much I will get done. Need to be working because DH is at home.

Get well vibes for mrs m-p.
