    Morning everyone.

    My thoughts are with those of you who have lost loved ones and are remembering them today. Was going to go out and watch the parade but may just watch the one on tv. Will see how I feel later as Im feeling the cold.

    Have not done much yet except put bedding in to wash, broth into freezer and had breakfast.

    Kitchen
    Wash breakfast dishes
    wash floor
    Benches.

    Living room.
    Put newspapers in recycling
    Hoover
    tidy computer desk.

    Put washing away.

    Kaz. Hope today is better. A relationship is a partnership. I know sometimes we do things ourselves cos its easier. Dont feel guilty about working. You cant be expected to do everything. Big hugs.

    Summermoon Glad to hear the move went ok.

    jjef and Soappie hugs.

    Have just thought that if those girls,boys, men, women and veterans can march in this weather I can be there for them. I will wrap up and take my umbrella.

    Hi

    My HHC didn't go as well as i'd hoped by the time i got out of the shower and got dressed it was 10.15:rolleyes: . I did have to find shampoo and put a new blade on my razor.

    So i

    Put clean towels in the bathroom
    S & S Bathroom
    Wm, td & Fold x1
    Put dry dishes away

    I'm going to do another one 10.45-11.15, i'm hoping i'll get the dishes done and put the clean laundry away then start on Ds2's room.

    I'm being an even meaner Mum now. OH got the baby gates fixed so Ds2 can't open them or squeeze through the gap.:j He keeps coming up to me and saying Mummy i can't open the gate please help me:rotfl: .

    Morning!

    Just got rid of one child to a birthday party and the other big child is having a break after managing this morning to get dressed, 15 minutes room tidy and 15 minutes homework (woo hoo it's finished before tonight for a change!). He has a habit of earning minutes and spending them right away whereas yesterday big girl was saving till she got about 30 minutes then would spend those :D So so far so good!

    I think I might have a quick go at the lounge as that's practically done and then do my desk so I can see it, sure some things I want are buried!
    Fluttering about an inch off the ground, I may fly properly one day and soar in the clouds!

    Today of course is for remembering all who died but it also reminds me of DD being born, she was born on the sunday and as most of you know was born very early (26 weeks), every one in the hospital kept telling me it was a sunday i'd never forget and boy are they right. Even thinking about it now still makes me cry because she only had a 50% chance each hour that she would make it. Thankfully she'll be a very head strong 8 year old on wednesday (where has the time went).

    Right everyone ready here and we're off to church, see you all later.

    Kaz big big hugs.
    Summermoon glad the move went well.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j

    My son (15) was watching rubbish TV and doing homework:rolleyes:. I have the radio on (I thought you were supposed to remind me?:rotfl: ) and went in there just before 11 and asked him to change the channel - he did it without a murmur and observed the silence without being asked or told to...
    Maybe I am doing something right.
