FreakoidOrganisoid · 24/08/2010 13:02

Hello hello

Gosh it is so quiet on here lately

Ali yes I am really happy with the bedroom, just the curtains to come now. Will put a pic on profile in a bit so everyone can see.

Spacehoppa · 24/08/2010 13:28

Hello TLS Lola, I am doing well with my list except the bits about the garde which drips ominously and does not look good. I want to go for a swim but I have too much ironing Sad

wastingaway · 24/08/2010 15:25

Afternoon! Hope it went well Mini. Smile

Hello hello one and all! I have had the crappest day, but also not that bad.

It started raining when we got into town so couldn't go straight to shop I wanted to go to as would have been drenched. But at least it didn't start til we got into town, so we hung out in the shopping centre.
Then I lost my handbag. Seriously, gone. But it had been handed in at customer services intact as a cleaner found it. I'd neearly had a full-on panic attack mind. Confused

But then the rain stopped and we made it to the shops we wanted to go to so not awful in the end. Grin

Spend much longer in town than I intended to and still stuff to do, so

  • coffee
  • fold dry washing
  • hang up washing
  • put another load in
  • take out rubbish and recycling
FreakoidOrganisoid · 24/08/2010 16:00

Nightmare wasting

Glad it all ended well though

minimammoth · 24/08/2010 16:00

Hiya evrybod.Spacehoppa and lola, I like a lttle list myself otherwise get overwhelmed. I now have about 6 lists operating though!
DHs appintment went well, I am very relieved I must say, the MRI showed no deterioration, alien implants,fungi or mushy bits.(I can be lighthearted now) Normal. So he will see the specialist who deals with function and go from there.
Hope you had a nice weekend Freaki perhaps you could hold the gazebo up with duct tape or something.
Glad your bag turned up Wasting, it is like losing your personality, or what I think it would be like.....anyone seen my personality?Grin

Hello all, gosh you have been busy all of you. Now a fantastic 625 posts!!!

I have no list, all that is on my list is "Make List". Sad

Chaos reigns once again. Normal business will resume 8am sharp on Monday 6th September.

Until then, I had better not lurk as I will only get Envy and Blush and Sad at all your super duper lists.

PS. someone tell me though, did Alice do ok??? My scrolling to look for news has not been successful, screen moves too fast! T.I.A.
