    Morning all

    Two loads of washing on the line, including cats blankets and the machine is going through on a rinse to get rid of the hairs.

    I've defrosted the old freezer this morning. It was very icy and there wasn't much in it but the shopping is coming tomorrow. All done now and cleaned out and I should be able to put stuff back in about an hour.

    Now I'm going to wipe down the cupboard fronts in the kitchen and vacuum through downstairs. I wiped everything else out there yesterday and even cleaned the oven after tea! I tried to post that last night but the board said no....

    Thanks MOJT - that's what I thought...I can always go and get her and she's not normally sick even when the rest of us are. Time to do my list to take my mind off everything I think xx

    Mudbath sounds like your going to have a fun day! I'd send DD depending on how far away they're going, could you pick her up if you needed to? If she really wants to go at least she'd be out of the way so you can deal with DS.

    Clear and wipe kitchen surfaces (done but will need doing several times again tomorrow)

    The summer holiday has started well - not! First day and my mum has phoned up to put me on stand by to take my dad to the hospital as he's has another bleed behind his eye. As I was on the phone my son was calling me and I was gestering that I was on the phone. DD then comes downstairs to tell me the poor thing had been sick all over his room. I had to phone up the friend whose son I was supposed to have today to cancel.

    So, i'm waiting to hear from my poor dad to find out where to take him.

    Do I send DD to brownie camp? They weren't together much yesterday and DD doesn't feel sick? Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! xx

    mudbath it can only get better............... yes I would send DD to her brownie camp if she feels okay why not you can go and get her if needs be.
    Hope your dad is okay.
