    All I did was:

    Wash dishes
    Empty and load TD
    Empty and load WM
    Speak to DH on the phone
    Sorted out snacks for kids
    Phoned HSBC

    Now I need to ring round to sort out some quotes for a new boiler.

    Vanilla.. much love and healing vibes for you and the doggy.. If he has made it through the night things willl be looking better I hope! They are pretty robust

    Kazmeister (never thought I'd EVER say that!) and Ragz and Roxy.. you can all have dog biscuit for yesterday.. :D

    Kaz.. that sounds like a grand idea.. sticking up a huge piece of paper with exactly what you have done put on it.. makes sure it says just how long you have spent doing each thing as well so they know how long it has taken you... then at the end put how long it would have taken if everyone had helped and done a bit!

    Hotchick.. the dailies are things that you need to do every day.. the laundry, the dishwasher the breadmaker for example.. we have our own daily list plus whatever list is put up on the first post.

    The growth clinic appointments aren't today they are for the 26th so that should be interesting.. hubby is in Germany.. which means I get to trail 5 children up to the hospital for a double appointment.. that should be.. interesting to say the least.. and better still.. one of them is at podiatry in the morning so I have them to take in the opposite direction for a morning appointment as well.. life is fun!

    Don't feel like I achieved very much of my list in that HH, so does anyone want to join me for another at 11.00?

    HHC 11-11.30?

    Morning all. Haven't had chance to catch up on last few weeks threads, so apologies if i have missed anything.

    Had a bit of a hetic week last week so lots of flying to catch up on.

    Sadly my nan passed away last week which meant a trip down to Hereford for the funeral.
    I managed to twist my neck somehow , a few days before the funeral (doc says from coughing or sleeping badly!) so i didn't think I would be able to drive. Thankfully with the help of some muscle relaxants and my Dad to lok over my shoulder when required, we managed to get there and back in one piece!

    Right off to prepare my list for today.
    Twins, twice the laughs, twice the fun, twice the mess!:j:j
