  • Hi,

    Hope everyone is well & welcome newbies/returners. So far today I've done errands, laundry & volunteer work. My aim for the rest of the evening is to do more errands

    Well got WM emptied, gathered up laundry and refilled it. Got Ds2s uniform out, know where DS1s stuff is for the morning. Removed some rubbish from bins. Made a start in the kitchen then played with lego with the boys, well tried to help a bit then got in the way :o I'm just needed when they can't seperate bits or get them together properly. Giving up now until they are in bed, which given his determination to build this lego thing plus they are watching sharks DVD (DS2s Wolves one was before this) I think will be about 8.30pm at earliest
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    lil_me - huge hugs for you, DP and the boys. You were very brave to do it and, even though it was best for Megan, it's never easy.

    Take care x
