    Good morning all, am off work this week, so making a start on yesterdays list first. The living room is really bad after babysitting two little ones, and DGD spent all afternoon glueing and sticking so there are tiny bits of paper everywhere. DS and his mate spent the evening playing xbox in there and he has bogged off to work leaving games all over the floor and a tray with his left-over dinner on it :mad: I went for a bath at 8 and didn't come back down so I suppose he thought he'd leave everything for me to sort out.

    We go to both, this time it was the RIE though. Depends who we're seeing, we have the odd excursion to Yorkhill too. There is generally always a pretty big wait. Which i dont understand, surely everyone has a different appt time?

    Morning all

    I feel for all of you who did not sleep well, I didn't either and now have that horribel 'drugged' feeling.

    Boys all sent off and it seems so very quiet after them being home for 5 weeks.

    Going to have a potter and tidy round for an hour and another cup of tea before I start the sugar soapping.

    Nice jobs to make the day bearable:
    Start family tree
    online surveys
    sow seeds
