    :wave: I'm here just about! Taken the children to school, gave DD2 some more toast and got her dressed, went and filled the car, paid a cheque in and took the dog for a walk. Then got some port from my parents and came home.

    Going to give girly some lunch in about 15 minutes and then she can go for her nap whilst I get on :)
    Fluttering about an inch off the ground, I may fly properly one day and soar in the clouds!

    Morning all

    Dull and drizzly here, I felt warm earlier but chilly now. One load of washing draped round indoors.

    Monday is kitchen day for me so that's all done properly (I pulled out the dining end on Saturday and washed down the radiator and skirting boards etc.). Damp wiped the living room and computer desk (hallway) and vacuumed right through downstairs.

    I hope all the poorly people get better soon (and I hope I don't get anything;)).

    3. Wash any cushions, throws or curtains that need it

    Nursemaid for poorly DS (he's 6, pale, wan, and flopping about the place. Not as bad as the weekend but still has a temperature and stomach cramps so thought it best to keep him here today).

    Research and order a new freezer to go in the shed, my kitchen one is just too small (upright fridge/freezer effort) so thought why not put a small chest one outside in the shed?

    Sort out anything I've still to do for the AGM this week.

    Filing on desk.

    Update snowballs.

    Finish laundry.

    Also
    3 phone calls made
    toy mended
    lunch sorted
    and DS finally ate something unprompted - OK was tiny but he's obviously now on the mend



    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.


    Snowball says too far away, working hard to bring it forward.

    I thought it might encourage him to use the potty instead, i don't know if he'd poo in his pants. Mind you if he's asleep he might do.:rolleyes: I think i'd better get some more nappies.
