I think I just like making nice fancy lists but never actually get round to following them 😁
Nice planners and fancy pens but it still doesn't help

Morning!

We're forecast heavy rain from about 11am today. We shall see if that appears!

We're running out of things to catch the water in now though! 😂 No chance of the butts running dry for a while.

Oh dear Mrs your DH did not have a good day. Glad visiting your DD's house went well though :)

Bets on whether my cross stitch will arrive today? I need it soon as I think I may finish my elephant today!

WreckTangled · 07/07/2020 07:48

We're forecast sun this morning but it's going to cloud up later. The rain is coming tomorrow.

I just bought ds a new winter coat in the fat face sale although he probably didn't need one Blush

Xmasfairy86 · 07/07/2020 09:06

I can do without rain. I need my washing to dry there appears to be lots of it

Had a bath delivery at 7am 🙈 I missed it due to being asleep!. It was left in the garden 😂

My lists sadly go untouched most of the time 😂 Even if I don’t lose them, and they are on pretty paper with official tick boxes, I to go very off piste

NoWordForFluffy · 07/07/2020 09:25

Where in the country are you, Fairy?

But keen re the bath!

It's already wet here. At least the allotment will enjoy it!

fluffy kids paddling pool? That would hold a fair amount Grin unless you've got a spare tin bath hanging around the place
Drizzly here, but getting darker by the second, and weirdly very very still.

fairy fluffy want's to borrow your bath to fill with water Wink

Xmasfairy86 · 07/07/2020 09:43

South west - Bristol/Bath way
It was sunny, it’s now grey. The washing may have to dry inside 🙄

NerosFiddle · 07/07/2020 10:29

Morning.

Dd has been awake since 1.30. Then ds woke up for the day at 6. I will not be operating any heavy machinery today Wink.

I've read through the posts but I literally can't remember a single thing I've read. Roll on bedtime

Themostwonderfultimeoftheyear · 07/07/2020 12:51

Oh no Nero that's an awful night :(

DS has asked for a bed with a slide and more Imaginext Power Rangers for Christmas :) Need to discuss the bed with DH but am going to start picking up the power rangers on eBay :)

CrazyBaubles · 07/07/2020 13:20

Just read back through but I think I've broken my brain because I think I only took a tiny amount in - I don't even have sleep deprivation as a reason Neros

I love a list. I always have a 'scrappy' notebook that I write all lists in, as I think of them. It's a mish-mash of to do lists (work & home), to buy lists, present ideas for people, websites I don't want to forget, films to watch, books to read etc. Massively helps me appear organised 😂

I have an interview for the job I'm completely unqualified for! I've been trying to prep for it since I got the invite yesterday (it's tomorrow) but I'm so nervous I have zero concentration so I may be quiet here until it's over

WreckTangled · 07/07/2020 13:31

Well done crazy! The one applied for hasn't closed yet... I hate interviews I seem to be really shit at them. It's because I'm just not a loud bubbly person, I'm quite reserved with people I don't know Hmm

NoWordForFluffy · 07/07/2020 13:40

Well done, Crazy. Good luck!

When does it close, Wreck?

OP posts:
WreckTangled · 07/07/2020 14:04

Today! I had an email to acknowledge receipt of my application and that they'd be in contact after the closing date. I'm hoping that's a positive sign... can never tell though.

Have been to Mum & Bob's she wants a 'pretty white bench' for Bob's patio Hmm it's a present for him & she will sit her behind in it too Grin ordered one from ARGOS , will see what it turns out like Hmm
Dh & l will put it together tomorrow or Thursday, am not looking forward to it, these things never have the holes drilled where they should be and inevitably the screws are missing Hmm

Sorry about the huge linky Hmm ShockGrin

MarshmallowManiac · 07/07/2020 16:56

Oooh I love a list too, only trouble is as soon as I think of an idea I grab a passing sheet of paper and scribble on it, trouble is in the end I am hunting for a hundred scraps of paper Grin
Well done Crazy you'll smash it

MarshmallowManiac · 07/07/2020 17:00

Well done Wreck sure it's a positive sign, don't think they would reply if they weren't going to consider you, good luck with it all.

Themostwonderfultimeoftheyear · 07/07/2020 17:40

Well done Crazy and good luck!

Keeping everything crossed for you wreck

Your link wouldn't work for me mrs :(

WreckTangled · 07/07/2020 17:51

I hope so but also I'm not getting my hopes up as I'm sure there's lots applying with more qualifications than me

NoWordForFluffy · 07/07/2020 17:56

Good luck, Wreck!

That's one hell of a link, Mrs! 😂😂
