    Hi Peeps

    Looks like I am not going to get much done today and I fear that if I do not get a move on my house is going to get crazy again.

    I have my little bunny off school today, she was sick this morning and has to have 48 hours off school. Never mind may be I could get her to help me get things sorted.

    She seems ok now just very tierd again. Getting worried about how tierd she is though.

    Morning all


    Hugs and hi to the newbies.

    WM is on overdrive and dealingwell with hol clothes.
    Cases ready to go back into the loft tonight
    Clean over fridge ready to re stock when I gettime to go shopping, (living on a loaf of bread at the mo!!)
    Kitchen floor cleaned
    Hoovered down stairs
    Must see neighbour to day and thank again for looking after cat1
    Collected cat2 last night from step son's, got back about 10pm and went to bed, my body still thinks it is 7 hours ahead!

    Got message from step mother, it seems my father has had a stroke and is in hospital but according to her there is nothing wrong with him~~~Is it normal for hospitals this day and age to keep in people when there is nothing wrong with them??
    My father it seems is having a load of tests etc today, I am about to ring up and see exactly how bad / or other wise things are...........I have been on for months about him doing less, having my mother pass away last year this might be the wake up call he needs.

    I will take it out on the oven tonight, and it might make me feel better.

    Ooh thanks AnwsMum, I didn't realise Ikea did freestanding ones, we looked last time we went as well :o.

    Trouble is nearest Ikea is 45 miles away and I'd not be able to control myself and buy just one item from there.

    Will look at Amazon, whilst I'm laid up with me gob tomorrow I could mebbe arrange home delivery.

    My M.A.C.A.W challenge this week is..............go to bed before 11pm at least 3 times! So far: 1/3 :)

    Morning all! Only on second coffee this morning so nothing done yet. I seriously doubt I'll get as much done as I did yesterday, but hey-ho it all helps! Still children have made it to school on time, dressed and complete with pack up so it's a good start! I think my macaw next week must be to get up a wee bit earlier - I get up at 8 and we need to leave just after half past. It gets a bit stressy getting three children, and me, dressed and ready in half hour so an extra few minutes would ease it somewhat. I may need reminding of this macaw though as I like my bed too much and may mentally block it out :rotfl:

    I did go to bed early last night, but didn't sleep before midnight. Will aim for actually sleeping early tonight! Won't be before 10 though because I need to watch CSI :D

    Hope everyone has a good day. I'll update at lunchtime when, hopefully, I will have done something! ;)

    Seems everybody had a really good day yesterday, loads of flying done.
