Shouldn't you be doing something else?

im doing nothing either margaret ........have been out bought a new p/c case (it looks like darth vadar to me) had my lunch out with a friend came home 1hr ago & my susan had made a chicken tea for me .....poor thing im full . but we agreed we would sort her bedroom out today, got lots of college work to store away. but ..well.... i said its sunday we need a rest we will do it tommorrow instead ....so your not on your own.
 
You sound like you have done a days work there Mez.

I am just overwhelmed by what there is to do. I must have made these rellies too comfortable when they came last time :)....it is just over a year since their last visit......do you think when I'm sorted I should leave the sofa made up as a bed?
 
Oh, I thought only noses run in this family...no pun intended there......my father in law had what was termed an 'elbow' of a nose....and my mother in law always said if it had been full of rum, and you supped it, you would be drunk for a week....though I think that was an exaggeration on her part...he did have a big conk though.

No I can't say big hooters have manifested themselves in this branch of the Pilkie family. Supping capacity has, though. See it's raining again...oh well, I suppose the gardening'll keep 'til next weekend...or the one after...
 
Well, I have just found a few little hidey holes to store some stuff in.....unfortunately I can't reach a couple of them, with me being a little on the short side.....but when i get the ladders back of N tomorrow I can put some things away.
We also have started buying stuff for Christmas.......I know, I know, but you have these things to do. My problem is that I will salt stuff away and then forget where i have put it...and then have to buy again....and the resultant saving will go down the gurgler. I shall have to put a little note to myself on the computer.

I am always like this......think I am never going to get things sorted, but I always do...eventually.
I'm just NOT going to clean all my kitchen cupboards out......I did that last time and they don't need doing again.
 
Don't worry about your kitchen cupboards Margaret. I cleaned my pan cupboard out before 'im indoor's sister came to stay last month. My daughter thought that was highly amusing as Shona never even goes into the kitchen whilst she is here!!
 
I had to laugh at that June.....when the mob came last year I spent ages (at least a month) spitting and polishing........used lashings of soda crystals, gallons of hot water......got myself a lovely pair of 'dish pan hands'.......and do you think anyone noticed? Did they heck. Like all housework(which I despise)....it only gets noticed when you haven't done it.
This time they will have to take us as they find us......and the stuff I am doing is only to make space for them to sleep.......they are getting free bed and board...if they don't like it they can go across to Maple Lodge and pay £45 a night EACH.
 
My goldfish say thank you Marg.

They are no longer trying to swim through pea soup, thanks to you.:D
 
I should be tidying up now. I have a whole kid-free week ahead of me so I should be able to get the house looking like human beings live here.
 
I HAVE ACTUALLY CLEANED THE INSIDE OF MY COOKER THIS MORNING!!!! now going to tackle the loads of college paper work with our susan 3yrs worth ........oh help .
 
There's always one......it is one of lifes enigmas......like there always being an item of cutlery at the bottom of the washing up bowl...usually a teaspoon.

Well, didn't get the ladders back so nowt done today.......there's always tomorrow :)
 
I should be starting to read my new book.

Another order from the lovely lady in Smith's.:)
