Lists for the Slatternly - May edition

[TrillianAstra]

Okay, I am clearly worrying way too much about this but there are only a few spaces left in the old thread!

(What do I think will happen if we finish without a new list? We'll just make a new one. Relax woman!)

Thanks to alicecrail for the title.

Please finish the old thread before starting on this one - there could be a prize if you are number 1000.

Hi TA & CC girls seem fine now thanks for asking .

I hope PBM has had a good day too glad it is nice for you too CC.

My Mum is driving me mad my dbro is here and she won't stop ringing for him to go up and help her with the computer ..she has rung me 4 times to make sure I have been paying her council tax yes only for the past 4 months Mum .

Good morning everyone
Sounds like everyone had a good weekend apart from cwwm

I was helping at the show yesterday and it was quiet so i decided to take my horse into one of the jumping classes and i am really pleased as we came 3rd. But it was really warm yesterday and i got a bit dehydrated so have had a banging headache since yesterday evening and i'm still struggling to get rid of it now, so i am going to hold off on actually doing anything for an hour or so.

It's sunny here but not particularly warm, sun makes me happy but I wish it was warm enough to go sit in. Last winter DP was considering getting me one of those anti-SAD lights, or a go on a sunbed or some other-UV-light-imitating activity. This winter was okay as we went to New Zealand where it was summer

Doooown towwwn, everything's great when you're... (sorry CC )

I am still not dedicated enough to do weekend lists (or does that just make me more of a slattern than the rest of you?) so lots to catch up on, apologies if I miss anything!

Plum how was yesterday? Hope you all had a great day.

CWWM I would be fuming that I didn't know he was going to a theme park I think. Was it a last minute decision to go there or had they planned it and just not told you?

JKS sorry about your friend

And water garden (thanks Trillian I'd have forgotten if it wasn't for your chilli plants )

Glad my chilli are of use

Two of them have a flower each now and I am very excited. Think I must be getting old to be excited about growing things. I'll be wanting to fgarden next! (luckily I'm on a flat so that stage of middle age is unavailable to me)
