Spring Clean??

If it's Tuesday it must be ironing day for moi. There was a big pile looking at me in the kitchen, so set about doing that while VT went recycling. i sometimes wonder what we did before recycling, we must have filled up the bins I suppose, what with jars and tins and plastic bottles he seems to go every other day.
Then he set about the windows, which were in need of doing. You can't seem to get window cleaners for love nor money these days, we used to have a good lot called "Monsieur Corners" but they disappeared and we never saw them again. Two of the terraced houses in the block had their windows redone with twee little "cottagey sort of style windows" probably too time consuming to do. Sp that was it. So VT bought a long handled squeegee type of thing which is vvery good actually. He has made such a good job of them it will probably rain now!!
Bit warmer today, and the sun is shining a fair bit. He is out in the garden zapping some weeds. Why is it that weeds grow faster than anything else I wonder.
He was chatting to our neighbour last night, and she is having to move. She has had one terrible year really, firstly her husbands illness at the back end of last summer, then his sudden deterioration just after Christmas when they were on holiday in Chichester and his passing away in January down there. So, she has to move, mainly because the rent is probably too much. Poor woman. She can't take Ginger girl with her so she says that it will have to go back to the Animal rescue Centre. Poor little thing, VT is quite upset about it, he has got really attached to it with looking after it and feeding it. She follows him down to the paper shop as well, and sits miaowing outside.. Heartbreaking. We couldn't take it in mainly because of little Rusty, she is such a timid little thing it wouldn't be fair. i just hope she finds a good home.
Jane has just rung up to thank me for the dose of cash..and to say that she is clearing out her room. She is throwing aa lot away, and taking stuff to the charity shops. She was wondering if we wanted to swap our television for hers..no thanks, hers is huge, it would swamp our little living room. Anyway, she has gone for a rest now.
Tonight we are having:
Not exactly sure.. Maybe a garlic kiev and potato croquettes
Mixed vegetables.

Ironing :( I'll send mine over to you!! so sorry to read about your neighbour and little ginger cat but you are quite right you have your own to think about. My neighbour asked me to take on his cat and I said no for the same reasons - Prince and Karmen wouldn't accept her in the house.

I'm feeling alot better today, thank you, I think just pottering around and working from home has helped - that way I don't have to worry about other people everytime I blow my nose.

The bank of mum and dad - know it well!!! lol just been applying for applications for jobs for Karl. Is job comes to end next year but I told him not to leave it to the last moment as it will be easier for him to get a job whilst in one - then to try and apply when he's unemployed. Kids!! who'd have 'em!! lol
