What I did today.

No one should have to bury their child

harrigran, I'm sorry to hear your news. Is she a close friend?

harri

Jess; I'm glad you pointed out that fair dues wasn't fair do's, because I've realised I've been saying/thinking it for most of my life without actually knowing what I was saying/thinking .

Oh that's awful Harrigran , his poor mother. You are right it's not the natural order is it? I know of several people in similar circumstance recently, I just don't know how they go on

Have been visiting DGC this afternoon and received a phone call on my mobile to tell me that my friend's son had collapsed and died this morning. A mother should not have to bury her son

soop undoubtedly bonkers! But so are many pet owners, (if you can be said to "own" Rory.) You may well soften him up to accepting greater contact with you. I am glad he has taken up your offer.

Lovely. Cat throws up mouse on bed. Can someone remind me why people choose to have pets. I could surpass this with my dog-throwing-up story but I dont want to ruin your evenings.

Sorry, baubles !

Cooked and baked all day! Cream crackered now, about to sit down with a and

Marelli your post almost put me off but I got over it

Daisy the Cat has been sick on our bed.....a mouse, by the look of things....

No Marelli, slacked off yesterday, didn`t wash or iron, lazy sod that I am. But I was still up till 3am, would have been in bed by 2.30, but waiting for himself to come out of the toilet so I could go! Was trying to finish my book, but got too sleepy, so finished it this morning.

......ah, but you're a 'late bedder', though, number! Bet you were still doing the ironing at 2am ?

Soop, I`m so pleased for Rory........and you and Mr. Soop of course.
I was late up myself today, 11am, Mia probably thought her throat was cut, still waiting for her breakfast!

I did the ironing today!! - first time since broken foot. We dug a very old perching stool out of the garage and I used that to sit on at the ironing board. A small step for most of us - but a big step for me!

Goodness, soop! He'll be getting quite domesticated if he doesn't watch out! (Rory, not Mr S!)

Nellie ...thank goodness for your sense of humour. A day well spent. Loll in the bath, when its free, and enjoy the rest of the day in your own sweet way.

Rory now proud to be owner of a smart residence. Mr soop had a chat with him - explained that, second to divorce, moving house was rated a highly traumatic experience! Rory licked his lips [expecting a treat] but went back to his basket and washed himself to a frazzle instead. He always does that when he's well pleased.

Way to go, jeni Fair dues as we say in Wales (only recently worked out this was not actually fair Dos. hum.)
Lightweight gracesmum we once broke a bed in some holiday accommodation, had to fess up to the on site rep.

Still in bed OH cooking dinner,been ordering pressies for the C word on line...first time ever ..so hope they all arrive and no faffing about cant stand the thought of shops this year...writing lists of food for the C word as going to sis in laws,but son will still be here...just about to get in bath son pinches it...look at more shopping just about to get in bath E pinches it....talking to you while waiting,have also helped E with home work and been pushing dogs off the bed as they want to sit all over me and hide biscuits in the bed....and also been looking at job website...all without moving from my pit trouble not getting any exercise either..

I have just finished the washing, all hung up to dry! My old gran would have gone ballistic at the thought of doing the laundry on a Sunday! Almost as bad as not having a spotless doorstep.

Cats! My daughter spend about £100 on a bed and a scratching post when she got two kittens. They both ignored them, slept on the shopping bag behind the door and sharpened their claws on the furniture.

I have done my housework today - vacuum cleaned carpets, 10 mins. Dusted - 5 mins. It has been raining on and off, so no walk. My TV is still not working, so I have listened to Radio 4 on my computer and now I have one of my David Attenborough DVD's on the player - Life in the Undergrowth.
I will watch Downton Abbey on line tonight.

I have been researching the cost of living in NZ on line - my biggest expense will be health insurance but I wouldn't risk living without it. No NHS!

Love it jeni!! Why indeed?
Once used a LUSH bath ballistic with glitter in it in a whirlpool bath in a posh hotel. Not a good move. First I finished up with glitter where you don't usuallly get it and second, it clogged up the jacuzzi jets in the bath and I had to go and explain at reception.

Good for you jeni, I'm sure you deserve a day of proper relaxation! You seem to work so hard.

jeni

I only just got up. I've been awake since 7.30 but I was comfortable and I thought I'd stay in bed with my legs elevated to give my ankles a chance to deflate!
I then decided to have a soak in my bath and just for curiosity pushed the whirlpool button. This hasn't worked for about 5years. It worked!so I had a very relaxing spa bath. The only problem was I'd already put bubble bath in!
I had bubbles all over the bathroom floor and threatening to descend the stairs!
I then wrapped myself in a large fluffy warmed towel and returned to bed for another hour before deciding I MUST get up!(why?)
I know feel thoroughly decadent but relaxed!
