I know what you are going through Maz, from when Steptoe had his place done eighteen months ago! What a mess, but very much worth it in the end!

Good evening all. I will be so pleased when Sunday arrives and this stupid daylight saving ends. It's OK for them what stays in bed till mid morning but for us early risers it is 'orrible getting up in the dark.

How is every one. Keep up the chat on "doing the family history". I need motivating to put the nose back to the grindstone. Had some work work to be completed last night so I gave the cleaning and the chatting the flick.

Told OH about the potential, proposed, perhaps laundry renovations. He just rolled his eyes. Don't you love it when men roll their eyes. It speaks volumes without a sound. However rolling eyes and the absence of loud definite disapproval indicates "yes" to the project.

And speaking of my other half, did I tell you he has tried his hand at baking bread. First few efforts could have been used as ballast in the Nut Lodge yacht. Either that or as a soccer ball in a Australia/Germany match. Tee Hee!! However, he has learned from our indigestion and the loaves are now as good as bought ones.

Well I'm off to have a lurk around the boards and check out the goss. Then it's off to work. Cold this morning, think I need to get the woolies and the long sleeves out. That is a sure way of inspiring hot weather to return.

Evening Aunty.

Love the eye rolling and you are definitely right in the assumption that it is as good as a 'yes' if no utterances were made at the same time! I would get on with it before he finds his voice!!

LG, I am reasonably ok thank you!! Having a rest from fh tonight as I was cross eyed again last night.

Just to entice you back on to your research Aunty, I started again at the beginning of the year and have found 52 pages of war documents relating to my great uncles' brother who died at 19 in Gallipoli after having enlisted only 3 months previously. I even found his embarkation papers when he sailed from Sydney. He was a mantlepiece maker in Richmond.

Oh dear Maz - you mentioned the fire word. YG is going to get all hot and bothered again - lol Glad things are progressing. Can't recall how long you said it will all take. Hope you don't have to do too much redecorating. You did so much last year.

Perhaps Auntie's OH thinks he has more chance of seeing her if she is working on her own house - lol

Firemen!!! LG, leave one for me up that tree!! I need cheering up!!!

My boss has left today and it was a tearful farewell!

His sister owns a business making wedding cakes and cup cakes, so he had asked her to make some cup cakes for us in the office and they were brilliant! Even had the company logo on them. I got two for being a good girl, so am having a treat tonight as I was too busy to eat them at work! Blow the calories!

All this talk of cleaning and decorating. Is spring on the way lol!
