She may be laying the tarmac herself!

"A long hard slog"? Climbing Ben Nevis?

SueDonim Mon 17-Feb-20 13:39:38

I think Moocow is in labour and having a baby. Her brief reappearance was the result of having had an epidural put in. grin

Best laugh of the day so far SueDonim thank you!

I think Moocow is colouring her hair and she waiting for the colour to take ... ?‍?????

Urmstongran Mon 17-Feb-20 14:24:22

No it can’t be that ... it’s not physical enough.
Demolishing a garden shed?

Sorting out the loft.

Anniebach Mon 17-Feb-20 14:33:43

I am not nosey, yet I keep coming back to this thread because I want to know

Visit to the gym, then quick 20 lengths in the pool, followed by 5k run.

Or
As I am doing thinking about cleaning the windows (inside), but Dennis has made such a mess of the outside.
Think might wait for window cleaner to appear.

Good luck Moocow
I'm sure it will be worth it and we will all be able to join you in a glass ? or?? celebrate.

Oh, well done Jane?. A huge relief and very satisfying for you with a positive result.

I used to double check any form filling but nowadays I check things 4/5 times. Just to make extra sure?

JoyBloggs Mon 17-Feb-20 14:54:47

Filling in online 'Power of Attorney' forms?

BBbevan Mon 17-Feb-20 15:08:07

Please tell us !,

Stansgran Mon 17-Feb-20 16:52:25

It's got to be overdue tax returns. Or blocked sewers. My two worst nightmares and I have both an accountant and my own drain rods.

POGS Mon 17-Feb-20 16:56:29

See how many GN posters she can ' reel in'.

Moocow

I'm hooked confused

bikergran Mon 17-Feb-20 17:45:55

Hope the mystery is solved before I go to bed...or I will have to take laptop with me confused

Kalu Mon 17-Feb-20 18:29:55

I popped in here fully expecting everything to be done and dusted!?

NfkDumpling Mon 17-Feb-20 18:35:48

Well, she came back for lunch. It must be a longer job than expected. I’m with VQ and sorting out the loft. The trap door has slammed shut with a box on top which she can’t move and she’s stuck up there.

Urmstongran Mon 17-Feb-20 18:46:38

That made me laugh bikergran!

Curlywhirly Mon 17-Feb-20 18:51:46

Sorting out her wardrobe; I made a start last week and it is tiring trying everything on - I was worn out!

Cherrytree59 Mon 17-Feb-20 18:58:12

Moocow are you ok lass?
You've been at for hours!
What ever it is. grin

SueDonim Mon 17-Feb-20 19:01:31

It would take a lot more than one day to sort out my loft, Vampirequeen! grin

Jane10 Mon 17-Feb-20 19:07:47

Moocow- come on. We can't get back to doing our essential tasks till we hear back from you!

Moocow Mon 17-Feb-20 19:07:49

It's done! Well mostly. Back really bad now even though I had breaks and stretches. Love the ideas and hearing some of your own achievements. I keep finding lots of excuses to avoid this task until it felt insurmountable. I've had a thorough declutter and the rooms and cupboards tackled look lovely and spacious grin. I highly recommend it!

Witzend Mon 17-Feb-20 19:08:01

Burying a body in the garden?

Nothing so prosaic as cleaning the oven, I hope!

Oopsadaisy3 Mon 17-Feb-20 19:14:49

We had a power cut for most of today and I sorted the kitchen cupboards, all I can say is she might be gone a while!
I wish I hadnt started it.

Maybe she will finish knitting a onesie?
