    Soappie honey have a lie down and a cuppa to recover, the bad news is they've had them in shops here since before the kids went back to school, decorations etc too. One reason I am pleased I don't have to go to my sisters is she has her decorations up from the beginning of November. It did remind me however that this year we'll need a tree, forgot we got that beautiful real one last year.
    AnWsMum if you weren't so nosey you wouldn't have to catch up haha!
    Johanne ((hugs)) I think it's worse for the partners when men are ill, seriously they're such pansies!

    Just got back from the quad track, DP is rather miffed as they've changed loads of the rules restricting very strictly where he can use his, leaving them just a small waterlogged area. Going to look about for somewhere else to use. Of course I have the joys of a mammoth pile of muddy clothes to deal with, Ds2s boots are just mud, think I might get him to clean his own this time.

    DS2s plonkered himself in front of the TV and DS1s on his computer so thought I'd have a little chill time online. I was going to take DS1 for a new school bag on the way home but forgot my bag with my purse in so that will have to wait. Hoping for an early ish night tonight, was woken at 2.30am by DP who was in a bit of a state after witnessing a very bad car accident and wanted someone to talk to.

    This evenings jobs

    Make something for dinner
    Get uniforms out ready, iron as required
    Put packed lunches together
    Bath children
    Shower for me
    Another wash load in
    Hang quad stuff on line then hopefully a lot of the mud will drop off
    Rearrange October finances
    Find DS2s homework and get him to finish it
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    I'll sort it out later, it was somebody else who posted lemon drizzle cake receipe although I was making one too so if you can't find their one I can post that too.
