    My list for today, plus
    1. Do some baking with DD2 (didn't get round to it yesterday - ran out of time!). I've run out of things for lunchboxes (mainly because I have a greedy family who will eat all the goodies within a couple of days, no matter how many things I get in :mad:)
    2. Buy bus ticket for DH
    3. Collect Child Benefit and do a bit of shopping (no pasta, rice or tinned tomatoes in - need to go to Tesco for those really as prices at the local supermarket are pretty scary on those things but not going to 'the big city' until Friday)
    I was going to take DD2 to toddler group today, but I'm on one of my 'can't face anybody' days (apparently there are about 60 adults who go :eek::eek:).

    DD1 has had her very first visit from AF and has been very quiet and 'contemplative'. Luckily for her she hasn't had any pain (I used to get shaky and feel nauseous from it). She did ask me not to tell anybody (ie DH I suppose) but you lot don't count :p:D

    By the way Pigpen :eek::eek::eek: to those cobwebs! *ducks from flying, sooty, bbq'd mule*

    Decided balls to meeting, emailed my comments over, don't want to go can't make me go, I am tired and have too much to do, however I will take this opportunity to sit on my bum! There is someone going to the meeting who gets married in 11 days time so last thing I want is to pass any colds on :D good excuse?

    Oh seems they decided to empty my recycle bin this morning :D they missed our street yesterday....

    Right, DP awake, need to go see if he can be bothered to go shopping today, if not, I'll go alone!
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    pigpen - hope that you are all well today and recovered from the drama, and fingers crossed that the kitchen is sorted out soon.

    mudbath - great to hear that you are doing so well! Stay on that sofa!

    All three teens at school today, and I really must get off the pc and go do the kitchen. I shan't catch up the bathroom from yesterday as I did it on Friday.

    Heard from my sister that Mum is little bit better again, and they hope she will be able to go back to the nursing home tomorrow, which would be brilliant. The infection seems not to concern them :confused: so maybe the nursing home were just over worried!! It's her birthday on Saturday, so it would be much much better to be 'home' for that.

    Okay - off to the kitchen!

    Just edited, toochoosey and Kaz your cards just thudded through my post box

    Matthew's Mam just text to say that he slept like a log last night as he was shattered and asking when I am taking him out again lol, I said 'When I recover' :rotfl: the boys were brilliant with him, they hate other babies usually but he's their Matthew and they adore him so much. Might see when toddler groups are over here, go steal him, he just loves being with other kids so much.

    Been writing some cards out I need to send in the post.

    I got a letter today offering to resit my exam (DP didn't score high enough too but has found out the course wouldn't have counted anyway as he's got 120 points at level one on transfer so he's a bit grrr) I am just unsure if I even want to, I've thrown out all of the books aswell :o in my clear out. I have however registered on the Exploring Science course, couldn't resist adding the Inclusive Education one aswell :D

    DP seems to have gone back to bed..........
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
