    Morning everyone. A very wet one here.

    Im wondering at what time is reasonable to hoover my bedroom. I think 10.30. The reason I am asking is that I know my neigbours sleep till lunchtime. They dont work and in a way I wanted to do it at 8am. Reason being is that they keep me awake late at night running up and down the stairs and banging doors. Usually the 15 year old. Im being horrible arent I?

    Meeting my daughter this morning. Both my grandsons have got beating places and they havent got proper footwear. So have said I will buy their boots but its their xmas box. Youngest got his yesterday and he was so pleased and grateful. Dont mind getting the oldest as he supports both his DDs financially and sees them as much as possible. He is trying to turn his life around.

    Soappie Understand what you are saying about DD. I try not to be critical and offer support and a shoulder but you do hurt inside.

    Mumoffour Oh dear I can see two tired wee boys tonight. Its a good way for them to learn.

    AnWsMum Glad to hear you have had a good holiday.

    Toottifrooti Love that its brilliant.

    Serena A very good post

    Right Im away up with the hoover.

    No!
    Clean garage = returned X-box leads?

    Yesterday we did several HHCs and I found them extremely useful. Does anyone want to join me on one from 11 - 11.30?
    We don't need to do it perfectly - good enough is exactly that GOOD ENOUGH.
