I was only joking Gins, but it could have been true in my mums case thinking about it. She was the 4th child of 7 born just before ww2 broke out and having a sister three and a half years older who looked like Shirley Temple who was spoilt rotten by all accounts

Have been ironing and then playing around on my tree for a change.



Had a look at that comp jax and, like you, not interested in the prize. wouldn't read the book and can't attend the thingey. Mind you, I suppose the tickets could be given to someone else...????? Might put one on just for that.



Dea, I agree with jax - and we've said it before - it would be much easier for you to get someone in to help you out. You'll wear yourself to a greasespot doing all that door cleaning. ;-)

Yep.......my mother didnt like any of us either

Looks like there is a photo competition on GR FB.........Cyns you should add the one of you as a baby, its much better than the ones that are on at the moment

I dont have one photo of me as a baby :-(

No - I am getting there Ginns! - I am quite proud of my clean white door :-D :-D

Anyway, I would be far to embarrased to let anyone have a real deep down look at the state of my house !

One bit at a time ;-)

Perhaps when I get everywhere 'half clean', I will call someone in to sort it properly.

Dea

Why dont you think about getting a cleaning firm in to do a full deep clean and then you might be able to keep on top of things from there?

Thinking on............thats a buddy good idea>>>>>>Yell.com

They must all be out enjoying hemselves Ginns !! :-D ;-)

I have been 'working' today! - I washed down the paintwork on ONE of my internal doors! ;-) :-D

Trouble is - that one is now white while all the other 11 are still a sort of creamy colour !!

It will take me months to get the rest done :-D :-D :-D

Anyone would think that you lot worked.....yeah right,as if ;-)

Where are you hiding

Dea

Dea Report 16 Jan 2012 09:26

I still have some size 10's in 'my' wardrobe Ginns - I really MUST get rid of them !

At least you will get back into your's - I will never get back into mine from my little size 6's :-(

Jonesey V~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ :-P

Thanks Dea, I was really hoping for about 3 or 4 in the first week but I will be back into those clothes hanging there, taunting me

I guess you dont put 2 stones on in a week, so its gonna be a long hard road but one that I will travel

I suppose its harder to lose when you are in your 40s as opposed to 20s

Im upping the hoola hoop and sit ups this week, so fingers crossed for the next weigh in

Jonesey

Jonesey Report 16 Jan 2012 09:12

So size 10 still remains a distant dream then. ;-)

Dea

Dea Report 16 Jan 2012 09:10

Ginns - that is one whole 7th of a stone !!!

Don't be disheartened - go to the kitchen and take out a bag of sugar !!! - See how heavy it is ??? - this is just 2 little ounces more that what you have lost already !!

Well done! - keep going!

Dea Xxx ;-) :-D <3

I clean my plants with kitchen roll and olive oil......gives them a gorgeous shine and they seems to thrive

I see Dean Windass (Former football player) has admitted that he tried twice to take his own life.....depression is such a terrible illness

Eggy Toast! Just the thing. Thanks Sylvs and night night.




I'm just envious of those of you who can stand up from sitting on the floor I have enough trouble standing up from sitting on a chair! :-D




Persie, our dining room table is rectangular with two broad central struts and splayed out wotsits. I gave up crawling underneath - I use a long handled duster thingy instead. Much easier.


Does anyone else dust their broad leaved indoor plants??? :-S

My, you lot have been chatty !!

Glad to see you have good neighbours who will help you out at times like this Sylvia, and doubly nice that you don't even have to ask them :-)

I have neighbours like that - we don't really see much of each other but if any of us had a problem we could knock on any door and they would be there to help! - It is very reassuring!

Good morning to everyone else too - lovely to see you all around and know that all is well with you! - Hope you enjoy your two week's off Gracie.

Now for my lovely breakfast - Quiche, lots of bacon, followed by my chicken stir-fry!!!

Thank you Sylvia - nite nite to you <3
