    Thanks Valli and Natty for the lists, much appreciated.

    I'm in this week and determined to do all five days Level 1 and 2, so that I can spend most of the rest of the time sewing. I'm on a roll so lots of projects are being cleared from the backlog.
    Better is good enough.

    Sorry for posting and dashing earlier, had to get taxi to ds2s orthodontist appt.
    He's now been she was happy with his teeth and has discharged him back to care of his normal dentist-which I'm pleased about as that is within walking distance not a £35 round trip in a taxi! Got him signed in to his new college and have left him there.
    He went to his Ncs graduation last night and got his certificate which is signed by Theresa May- Dh commented no wonder she hasn't had time to make any decisions yet if she's had 15,000 of them to personally sign:rotfl:
    Got just over an hour before I need to be at work do will see what flying I can do as straight after work I'm back to same place orthodontist is at to pick step DGCs up but this time via train.

    Hope LW and Lynne are having lovley holidays
    Hope the poorlies are starting to feel better
    Hugs good wishes, posi vibes sticks and spoons to all who need them.

    Better get on a suppose.

    Well, I don't have anything on my mantle - I've been wondering if I ought to adorn it but not yet seen anything I like so... And I have no indoor plants and I washed my old sofa throws at the weekend. Not sure where they are going but I have lovely new ones and cushions :)

    I do have a door curtain for the front door - ready to go up when the cooler weather arrives.

    I pulled everything out of the coat cupboard and vacced, all coats except anoraks are now in a pile on my bed, to be edited. And the cupboard has been put back with only what I use - spare sponge mop for the bin which doesn't clean properly and a tomtom that I might re-set and give to my mum. It was DHs and hasn't been used in 5yrs as my car has a built in one, let's hope it still works!

    Kitchen is now a bit messy but LR, hall and stairs all bright and fresh - although kiddies did bring a lot of soft toys down but apparently they have an idea for a game for after school, so I'll leave them where they are.

    Ooo time for a bit of "me time" then I'll get my "school" bag ready for tomorrow :D

  • Morning everyone (it's still morning, right?). Trying to muster up energy to get hoover out - we have indoor guinea pigs so it's a constant battle against bits of hay, sawdust and the neverending GP "sausages". Hmmm, lovely. They are very cute though.

    Done a bit of shopping, and a load of washing on. Bit tired from walk to and from school, but really want a tidy house, so had better get on. It helps knowing there are others out there working from the same list.

    Have a good day all...
