    I DID say to DS2 "there's a pot of minestrone on the stove and some leftover risotto in the fridge, give what you don't eat to the birds"

    He heard the first bit, and there they were when we got back today :rotfl: him having decided biscuits were nicer.....

    :D:D:D:D fab time thanks :D:D:D

    Now I have six weeks until he comes over here and I've made a list of things to have done by the time he gets here:
    • lose weight :rotfl: ( a perennial - but this time I mean it) about 1 stone should be possible, but starting tomorrow....
    • write down the play I've almost organised in my head....
    • paint DS2's room so the furniture can come back out of the sitting room. (Sitting room was clear for about 10 days last time :o )
    • finish the paintwork in the bathroom
    • Sell the piano (another perennial....)

    Morning all,

    How's things at work Olive? Still a war zone :confused:

    Children back at school today and how industrious I have been :rolleyes: have made hobnobs, leek and potato soup and home made bread rolls! Still found time to sort washing and hoover too! (I'd better not go on the Confessions thread today as I'd get kicked out :rotfl:). Now off to have a shower and hair wash before taking DS to hospital appointment for his awful cough and vomiting results.

    Hope everyone is well xx
