Shaved my legs, cut my nails, and cut my fringe yesterday. Need to change bedding now.

May I suggest that, next time, you do all this stuff in the bathroom? Grin

myfifyhun · 08/04/2020 18:13

Doesn't everyone keep their spices in alphabetical order?

Today I : cut the sleeves off a tshirt dress to make a sundress. Cut the frayed knees off ds's jeans and pinned 4 pairs of shorts (hemmed 1, I bloody hate handsewing); vaxed my stairs and lounge, and we had a delivery from local nursery shop so planted a few bits. Then made profiteroles and meringue base for a pavlova with dd. Busy day!

I feel sorry for the volunteers at the charity shops when this all ends!!
They will have so many donations!!

Today for me was cleaning under the bed moved it the dust was unbelievable!! So then moved all the furniture to get all the dust under that as well.

I've been watching video of Italian Air Force showing red white and green sky trails over a coastal bay while Pavarotti sings Nesun Dorma - magnificent!

I watched that too, it is fabulous :)

I've been sewing scrubs for the local hospital. Done 23 sets so far. Very tempted to turn some Cath Kidston fabric into a set to keep for myself

After hoovering the garage ceiling, I found three white exlarge white boiler suits in white and a packet of cloth face masks - smell awful but I think I could wash them, all for DIY jobs from years ago

I was waiting outside 19 yr old ds room at 11.30am (I knew he’d set his alarm for then) ready with clean bedding to change his sheets so I could wash them and put them out to dry .. I’m actually saving jobs to do for the next day and feel quite achieved that I have the time to do them .....

Ifyoudontlaughyouwillcry · 08/04/2020 19:31

I sorted the kids Lego into colours! They have been given strict instructions not to mix the colours back. Yep I know I’m batshit and it’s never goons happen

Ifyoudontlaughyouwillcry · 08/04/2020 19:31

Gonna!!

Shockers · 08/04/2020 19:31

I cleaned out the junk drawer and put all the ribbons neatly in my ribbon tin, and the buttons and beads in their respective tins. Then I made myself a mask for when I go shopping, before washing and sorting all the pots in the garden.

I would be delighed if you joined our research paper. I believe in collaborative efforts [not least because I will come first alphabetically...].

To do it properly we need to spend at least a month arguing over who goes first. Alternatively, I was thinking of changing my name to AAA.......

Getitdonesharpish · 08/04/2020 19:43

Filed my feet and planning to zap my bikini line! Not sure why as I can’t go swimming!

OchonAgusOchonO · 08/04/2020 20:03

Filed my feet

Under F?

I've made my third huge cheese, onion and potato pie in a fortnight after single-handedly eating the first two Blush

Windyatthebeach · 08/04/2020 20:33

Have you got a pie recipe? Sounds delicious!
