this one has removable plates so it is easy to clean. the geroge foreman i have is the work of the devil as the plates dont come off and it takes forever to clean.

Yay! Spare room done as best I can for today - you can now walk, rather than climb, across the room to the desk (and therefore computer - v important!). A big, noticable improvement. There's still quite a lot to do (drawers and under the bed) but that'll have to wait...

Off for some lunch then hoovering...

tortoise · 26/01/2007 13:23

Well done everyone.

Ive made soup for my lunch.Yummy! Off to have some now.

Oh Ruby {{{{{{hugs}}}}}}

JustIvor · 26/01/2007 13:31

Ruby I'm so sorry about your loss and for the unnecessary effort being expended in paperwork when others have made mistakes. You need to have quiet time to grieve not run about the country. I'm sure you've tried to get others to correct things without you doing it for them. It is a shame it has to be you. Take care and be kind to yourselves. {{hug}}

tortoise · 26/01/2007 13:31

Oh Ruby.((( hugs )))
Give your DH a big hug.

Ellie has been having a late nap for the last hour. I've written the final batch of thank cards for Ellie's xmas present. All addressed just need stamps.

It also reminded me that there are 2 presents in the cupboard 1 xmas & 1 new baby. We took them to Scotland with us at xmas/new year. Didn't deliver xmas present because my friend & her family where ill. Didn't deliver baby gift as we ran out of time

I must parcel up & post either tomorrow or Monday

Hope you are all ok. I've also eaten 3 slices of the freshly cooked bread with butter & jam.Yummy

Hi everyone you all seem to be doing so well,whilst i'm sliding deeper into chaos.
Big Hugs to Ruby and family.You're a star to your family from what i know of you on here.
Tort sorry to hear the childcare and ss issues are still giving you grief too.Sounds like you're as skint as me.I now owe so much to British Gas have asked for a pre payment meter despite advice not to.

Don't know what's wrong at the moment but am having endless bad luck and seem to be sinking into a depression i can't shake off.Got to get some energy from some where and sort this house by end of weekend.

Laying new carpet tomorrow and am in middle of painting hallway again .Girls blocked loo and caused a flood through kitchen ceiling this week.Most of week taken up with admin type things and health appts.Eldest back in hospital end of Feb but also meant to be starting nursery and everything is clashing at mo .
God sound a right whinge bag.
Well as the song says Things can only get better.Mind you so did Labour.

squatchette · 26/01/2007 22:02

P.S Grouchy lend me a bit of that endless energy and motivation you seem to have.What a list wow!

tortoise · 26/01/2007 22:17

Hey squatt. good to see you. I often where you are!
Sorry things haven't been too great.
Do you take anything for depression? If not,might be worth a trip to ther drs. (( hugs ))

Im surviving! Very skint as usual.Don't know how to change that!!
