    Pollybear - don't let pigpen see that you cleaned the oven - then we'll all have to do it!

    Just waiting for the floors to dry.

    Daisy - is matched betting tricky to learn - I've often fancied having a go but wonder if it is really time consuming. Have you lost much?

    Didn't manage to get on the computer much yesterday so didn't read the end of the last thread.
    Hope everyone had a good weekend.

    I'll have to catch up with today's later and this week will be a bit hit and miss.
    Today we've got our second review so we'll have 3 social workers here later making sure all is fine and dandy.
    Then tomorrow DD is due to go into hospital for an op on her eye, for something has been diagnosed since she came to us and had been missed previously.

    I've done the kitchen and utility room as is my Monday list and am now going to mkae myself look presentable!

    Take care all.
    ...it is not of more importance than daily life, which I have an enduring wish to make as useful and beautiful as possible.

    Cost and planning I imagine. The coaches will have been booked and paid for as will the entrance fee to the attraction. If they don't go parents will want a refund leaving the school severely out of pocket. To rearrange is often not possible this close to the end of term and will involve more cost. I have been on many many wet school trips.

    Tinsel - good luck for you and DD for today and tomorrow

    Quick list update and then another HHC until 12:00 before I get engrossed on something else on here

    Count me in, I'm going to try my damndest to get as much as I can done ech day.

    Some of you may remember I mentioned my OH was going in for brain surgery? Well that was a week ago, the op went really well, but obivoulsy OH can't do much at all. We've just been to have his stitches out, and he's wasted.

    I never realised how hard it would be, looking after my 2 DDs, the house, and my OH, as well as losing (albeit temporarily) the help and support I usually get from him. We've all been ill lately too, so DD2 is up a few times in the night, struggling to breathe, plus having my alarm set for midnight and 4am to give OH his meds.

    My Mum was here with me last week, and we got a lot done, which has helped me massively this week.

    Anyway, for the above reasons, I may not get involved in the thread or post much, but I
