Rach I'm really proud of you hun that is some achievement especially as you were not feeling great yesterday.

I got shoes for DS2 without too much fuss so another job ticked. Need to find my list.

DS3 off to a party in a minute so I'll go up the motorway embankment to look at the stinging nettles whilst he is there! My life is so full of adventure!

Congratulations Rach - sorry I didn't pop in to wish you luck - I did think of you though as one of the children I taught yesterday was going to be pitching a tent for her cadet training at midnight last night and was worried about it, and I thought about you walking at that time too. Go and have some well-deserved sleep and we'll see you bright-eyed and bushy tailed when you've had a rest.

*waves from her bedroom*

PC is up here and working via wireless! I feel all clever!

Not comfy right enough. PC is atop my dresser which is high, and I'm on PC chair with wireless keyboard. Have to strain my neck to look up and use the mouse. BUT... sunday dinner at a table.... *dreams*

Hmmm.. I'm too used to the laptop now, seems weird using this keyboard and I keep ging to use the mouse pad.... :rolleyes:

Oh and 1 black bag of rubbish, 4 empty boxes from master bedroom and 2 black bags went to charity last night. DH though I was mad shouting at van 'I got bags for YOUUUUUU!!!!' Still, de-cluttered eh?

My gosh, my bedroom looks like a bedroom! :eek:

OK, gulp my coffee and go sort the PC desk....

Well having spent a bit of time researching measles and german measles, I'm not sure that can be what is wrong with my sister - have called my Dad and asked if that's what the doctor actually said she had, and he didn't know as my Mum took her and is sleeping at the moment. Apparently the antibiotics are for her sore throat. It's a mystery. My Dad said it was an emergency appointment and suspects not a lot was done, and didn't think she had been given a blood test. Could be that the rash is just a heat rash or something from her fever.

And the kids will be wanting fed at some point..... frozen stuff and chips I think.
