    Managed to get DS1 up!! First time for months he's been out of bed before 10.

    Off to school, then hospital, amnd wait to see how much of the dya is left after that.

    School sports afternoon, if I can get away from the hosiptal with DS1 and newly plastered arm.

    Agree about Kathy Reichs! Given one, then had to buy all the others! Recently recommended Harlan Coban, very good indeed.

    michell - huge hugs. Phone any friend/relative near you and beg for a hand. Skip the bath unless they are truly filthy.

  • Coffee and a cuddle with DS2 here. He reluctantly walked a lot of the way home from school here. Hopefully he'll be exercised enough to have a sleep while I work through my list, then we can have some playtime together before I collect DS1.

    I'm a bit worried because I saw the Dog Warden driving out of my road when I got home. While they do get on, my dog is still a bit grumbly about the Childminder's dog holidaying with us and occasionally he'll shout at her. I just hope they didn't disturb the neighbours while I was out. There's no sign of anyone visiting while I was out, though. No notes pushed through the door or anything.

    Triker have you found that insurance document yet?
    MrsV good luck with the sale
    g&b that's terrible, hope you are ok ((big hugs)) for your LO too
    Tash they mainly deal with strays, if there isn't a note I wouldn't wory too much but maybe worth mentioning to your neighbours that she's not staying long etc.
    Have just read the list for Thursday - there's some EVIL stuff on there :eek:
    I haven't looked at the list because of that comment, I suppose I should really, however housework will not be a priority today as I need to get some of this assignment done, my plan for today includes 3 hours of studying across the day.

    So far I've - dressed and fed 2 boys, walked DS2 to school, walked dogs, filled DW (now on) emptied WM and refilled, got swimming stuff sorted and groomed dogs.

    Going to finish my coffee, read todays list and see if I can fit it into my list....
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
