morning all DET that is one way of being the first on lol
just a quick look in am on a middle so a colleague can go to the match ,she is picking me up and returning me home again so not so bad
I am planning my next load of wrk in the house the gutters are next then the outside carriage lamp at the front door needs fixing then I am going to get the decorating started

Morning all.

Yes, I get on the comp while OH is still in bed, then get dressed when he eventually rises. Its every man or woman for himself after that!

Now that PC has finished her uni work, she is back to full time. As soon as one of her B/F's house mates moves out, I suspect she will move in. Since he has no regular source of income, he can't afford to contribute much if they were to rent a place of their own.

Morning everyone.

Sneaky, DET, going on the computer whilst OH is sleeping!! But then, you have to make the most of the chances you get :-D

I am just contemplating whether to do a little weeding this afternoon, before the weather changes. Winds and heavy rain forecast from about 6pm this evening for a couple of days. Lovely :-P

In the meantime I must tackle some ironing and get up the steps with the filler and sort out the little cracks in the hall ceiling :-D

Curry!!!! :-0 :-0 :-0 Not bloomin' likely!! Just the thought of it burns my stomach lining!!

MInd you don't fall off that ladder YG! Can't you ask your son to help you out?

It started to drizzle here about 15 minutes ago. They reckoned 11 am, so not too far off. At least we are going to miss the worst of it :-)

Glad there is someone else who doesn't like spicy food!!!

Yes, he would help me, DET, and has offered to do the lounge ceiling for me when I am ready. The middle hall is very small so it won't take me long to sort it out. I am going to do the prep work and then buy the emulsion on Wednesday on Senior's discount day!! :-D :-D

It's raining, It's pouring
The Old Man is.......watching F1 racing on the TV :-D

It's raining here too now. Opted out of weeding and sprayed them with weed killer instead! It was a bit nippy out there! I do need a dry day over one weekend to give the grass it's last cut (hopefully!). I am having it all scarified in early October so that should be the end of mowing for the season :-)

Been a good girl and done most of the ironing, just a little left, so am off to buy a sanding block before the store closes :-P

Afternoon all, it is p****** down here. Got a bloomin great pile of washing to do thanks to the washing machine finally dying. Dragged Oh down to the shop and bought another one. :-D. No excuses now :-P

Thought you'd have bought a new one as soon as you got back from holidays. How have you been coping??

Good news....PC has passed her dissertation and will shortly be the proud owner of an MSc (psychology) :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Oh well done PC, clever girl.

OH managed to fix it temporarily but it gave up completely yesterday. Still at least he bought us a bit of time to save up for it.

Clever husband, even if it only delayed the inevitable :-D

Yes he is useful like that ;-) :-D.
Handy for the car repairs too :-D

Congratulations to PC!! Well done :-D :-D :-D :-D

You could have kept the rain down there, LG. It's 'orrible up here :-P :-P

Have painted the hall ceiling and walls. Need to do the woodwork now and I hate that job :-P It's a 'put me on' job to freshen it up until all the rewiring is done in 2014. I am expecting them to fit a ceiling light and powerpoint, hopefully, so will need to re-paper then. It looks a lot fresher and I can get some new carpet down once the radiator is fitted.

I didn't put the chicken in to roast until 6pm so it will be a late dinner tonight. Am off to have a soak in the bath as I am a little splattered!! :-D

Well done YG. I am sitting here in the lounge feeling guilty now as it is YUK :-|. This is my next decorating job for sure.

We have adopted a small grey and white female cat that used to sleep out in next door's garden.

Been feeding her regularly and she now only goes out for a wee etc

Evening David, thats similar to us. We found an abandoned kitten about 4 weeks old who attached herself to us. Now 10 years later she is still here

Tabby still comes to be fed twice a day and although he will come in the kitchen, he is not happy staying in. I think Duffy would quite like to make friends with him/her now, although I'm not sure about taking another one on.

I don't think I could deal with another one yet a while. Maybe when the time comes for both of our old ladies I will consider it then. Fuzzy is over 15 and Fenix is over 10. H has just got another cat as one of hers was run over and Tigger was so lonely without her.He is a Bengal/Siamese cross absolutely beautiful though not as sweet as Tigger who is Abysinnian and an absolute darling , so good with the mini Gooners.

Bath done, dinner done, now settling down to relax! Downton Abbey >>>>> yeah!!!!!
It's the last series so I have heard on the radio today, so I will be gutted when it finishes :-( :-(

dont send the rain here its been lovely here today at work though chilly
