That must have been where I went wrong Jonesey :-D :-D


Mind you, wouldn't the nappies block the filter???? ;-)



Dea, if it's a teeny weeny cleaner, do you have to vacuum your carpets on your hands and knees???? :-S :-S


Sleep tight. <3


We had some torrential rain this afternoon! It was blowing in horizontal waves across the field at the back..... :-(


Looks like summer just ain't going to appear......


Never mind.......we press on! :-D

I think you are right Jonesey BUT, with my problems, this one is exciting for me :

Dea,

I thought that you cleaned babies by giving them a bath. I never realised that you had to vacuum them as well.

You live and learn. :-D

Worn out Cynths !!! - you do not know what 'worn out' means !!! ;-) :-( :-( :-(

Just popped in to say goodnight !

I am TOTALLY whacked !!!!!!!!!!!!

One more day to go before the weekend !! :-)

I has exciting news though - I have bought a 'baby vacuum cleaner' - I can now vacuum my carpets !!!

It is teeny weeny and I can carry it up and down stairs (with only a little panting and puffing and a half hours rest after I have used it !!) ;-)

Can't wait to try it properly !!

OH has been known to have searched all over for his car keys ......................

............. only to find he had left them in the car ignition :-D



It's been worse since we got the Subaru, which doesn't need to have the key for locking or unlocking.

Hi all
xx



another lovely, sunny, ...... but far too hot ............... day





s

Nice one Linds. :-D


Had thought of that Gins but it's a bit costly.... :-(


Another one of 'those' days.........arrrggghhhh. Here, there and everywhere!! :-S :-S


I bet Dea is worn out today.............. <3

The funniest "I can't find it re my OH" was when he lost his car keys.

Over an hour searching everywhere, jackets (that he hadn't had on) trousers, hooks in cupboards - other keys not the "lost" ones - drawers emptied, down side of sofas, kitchen shelves, window ledges you name it he looked there.

He didn't like it when (quoting my Mums saying) I said "you couldn't have looked everywhere otherwise you would have found them" ;-)

They were found over an hour later (yes Jonesey exactly where he had left them ;- on a hook on the door frame where he had put them so our GD didn't play with them :-D :-D :-D :-D

Gins :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Broiled grapefruit with brown sugar..thank you


Cyns, why dont you have your curtains made to measure and then you can pick the fabric and the style

Good morning. Thank you Sylvs.......the Railroader sounds ideal this morning. :-D


Not sure if I am busy or not today :-S


When I think it's going to be a quiet day, it usually turns out to be hectic. Think I'll just go with it and see what happens..... ;-)

Thank you Sylvia - I will have the Full English please <3

Another busy day! :-(

See you all later,...........................
