I have heard the expression that Egypt is a time thief but it is 5.15 & the day has gone. I was up at a reasonable hour 9.30
decided to have a good clean through, after talking to my Mum in the UK, haven't done it though & it's now 5.15.
Where the hell did my day go??????
Went shopping for some veg & a new pedestal fan, we put it together & its great
made lunch, did some Arabic lesson
prepared a tagine for tonight, put yesterdays washing away, did some cross stitch & its 5.15

I know what you mean Fran.
My Mums video recorder broke yesterday so I got up bright and early and went to buy her a new one. Easier said than done as not many shops stock them now.
I asked her if she wanted my spare dvd recorder but she just wants something to show her videos on so that was no good.
Anyway after visiting the Co-op, Currys, Dixons and a few smaller shops who were all out of stock, I ended up at Argos who were also out of stock but informed me they had one at Meadowhall in Sheffield.
Off to Sheffield I went and after queing for an hour and finally finding somewhere to park, she is now the proud owner of a new video recorder.
I'm just wondering where the last 7 hours went

Similar day for me
Got up rather late at about 9 am, felt a bit crap with a sore throat. Sat down to read the paper with a coffee, sucked a whole packet of 'Lockets' throat felt better. Had some Tesco's Kentucky fried at lunch time, felt even better
"Shall we get some packing done?" says Mrs H, so we started. At 5 pm I sat down thinking, where did the day go? I am still jumping up and putting something in the bags that I think we have forgotten, adaptor plug, MP3 player, oh some spare headphones, oops, I nearly forgot my glasses, spare camera batteries, must remember that bloody Aero out of the fridge, oh sod it! I have had enough for today, it's 9 pm
time for a beer

My day was spent nursing a hangover after a particularly late night!
So, I've done bugger all really, caught up with a couple of things I'd video'd and thats about it today, hoping to be far more productive tomorrow.!:)

Thank you all
Feel much better and far less guilty about a missing day
I'm sure the video was greatly appreciated Andy, Joan is the same, we gave her our DVD player but she only uses the old video still
Today I have finally cleaned both bedrooms and the lounge from top to bottom.
Is there an easy way to clean cane furniture? I stuck mine in the bath & hosed them off with the shower
That worked
& took a lot less time than wiping each rung over, hope it hasn't damaged them though

I suspect that Goddess would have used the bum squirter. She seems to find all sorts of unusual uses other for what it was intended

I spent today having a massage (frozen shoulder apparently, very painful anyway) then checking and typing out the quiz questions for tomorrow night. It's 6.30 now, I'm sure I came in after lunch??? have I really spent 5 hours on the computer???? Think I'd rather be washing furniture at home.
