    Morning all. He finally finished cleaning the car just before supper. Well... the outside at least. Having sat and watched a few of the videos with him apparently there is a "thing" for this level of cleaning and detailing. Admittedly normally on super performance luxury motors and normally performed by ones team of staff. 

    This is, from his point of view a way to rest and relax after a busy and stressful week at work. Hes been late home nearly every night with deadlines to miss and design changes being thrown at him last minute.

    At least he is taking pride in his birthday present and doesn't go to the pub or.... golf.

    I'm going to write a chores list to put on the fridge, if they work for children it might at least help open communication for sharing the workload. If nothing else I'll get the satisfaction of knowing honestly I did wash the floor ten minutes after it looks dirty again!

    I'm working all weekend this week coming so I shall be spending today trying to get ahead of myself.  Have a lovely day everyone! :)

    And they say the women talk a lot!   One of the blokes was down there and wanted a chat.

    He's home now, but it's almost dark and we've been cold all day here. Getting a bit tired of it.

    Good morning

    Pat, how did it take so long to drive down the road? Couldn't understand that bit. Hope you warmer today  Punk, hope blood test sheds some light  Hosta are you not due to see someone this week Re your gremlins? Fairy that looked like a good walk, super photo  Dacha this thread is specially for tittle tattle.  We all prattle away. Joyce washing should dry in no time today it's to be a corker. Clari love conquers all but a reward chart on the fridge can do no harm.

    I see Dove is having a wee long lie..image

    off to see if I can get the case shut, on the lunchtime train from Penrith to Euston, then tube to sons  I have never done the tube onmy own before, will probably get lost., I have the steak pie frozen Joyce, thanks for the tip   Looking forward to meeting my new g d but sorry I am going to miss the lovely weather at home  typical eh?

    I noticed that Dove had posted on another thread in the wee small hours.  There were a few of us up and about.

    Good morning all image

    I was awake around four-ish too ... But after answering an ID query I found I couldn't get on the site so couldn't join in the chat. Dachalover I'm glad you see my 'style' for what it is ... Just being friendly to all ... There have been those who have viewed it with suspicion ... But I joined this forum a long time ago when there were various factions and rivalries and one group would not talk to another which was confusing and off putting for newbies ...this is why I try to include everyone and make new folks feel welcome.  And I suppose by nature I'm more of a Labrador than a .......................

    what's one of those dogs that's automatically suspicious of everyone ? image

    Cant remember ..... More coffee needed ....!!!

    Back again. 

    My Doc is off this week, but " blood test results have been seen and filed"  I really don't want to go through the whole saga with another doctor, so I'll wait until mine is back on Monday. 

    Tomatoes fed and their armpits shaved.

    Thistles and other horrors by lake have been sprayed.

    Washing was on at 7.40 ( tenant went to work ) so it's another cuppa then off out to do a bit more.

    Devon.
