I was going great guns until about 9am. :rolleyes: Bit tired now, so will probably end up doing most of what i need to tonight when the boys are in bed.

We now have sunshine, so that might perk me up. Ds1 has been 'helpful' and tipped the cat crunchies into their water bowl, but at least he then helped himself to kitchen roll to mop up the water on the floor - his arms are so long he can get things off the bench :eek:


sexymouse lovely to see you back - i've often wondered how you were getting on with the teaching this year, and i am honestly not surprised you couldn't fly and teach. your not the only one chick, and if we find a solution other than retirement it would be wonderful.

tootifrooti what a positive lady you are - i am glad you are healthy enough to be having a break from the chemo. 6 years is an awful long time.

mudbath happy your DS doesn't need an op. That must be a weight off your mind.

I am going to try and play a bit now with ds1 if he wants to. He was getting a bit jealous yesterday and dropped a building brick on ds2s head - it hit his eye lid and made it bleed - luckily only a scratch but quite a bit of blood as he was hot and crying. I'd rather not start playing referee just yet


Now, someone please poke me or send me some motivation please!

sexymouse

Thanks Michelle.

It's nice to hear that you were thinking of me. Sending an ounce of motivation your way - I'm determined to get my list done, so name a time, and I'll do a HHC with you if you would like?

Afternoon all

I'm just about to make a start in the bedroom. I enjoyed a HHB in the garden doing soduku before I started. No point in letting the sun go to waste

G&B - I'm gobsmacked someone could park on a mattress! Maybe worthwhile phoning to council to explain? In Midlothian, we are limited to how many special uplifts we get before they start charging. Not sure if Edinburgh are the same?

sexymouse - welcome back. Good idea to start on a Thursday. Nice short week

michelle - I feel exhausted just looking at your list!

Anyone up for a HHC 12.15-12.45?
