    I've been gardening. like dusty - DS1 came and helped a bit as well, think he just wanted to natter! I've also done the sunny border, which has a path three feet in and a secret spring border right at the back - now I've cut down the grasses and buddleia in the front bit I can actually see my snowdrops and hellebores!

    I'd rather make the most of a sunny day than do stuff indoors - it'll still be there next week...;)

    Off to cook dinner...

    :rotfl: I didn't have any plans to do it until I saw i'd already done it. Did cheat with the window a bit...the back door window is about 12 inches by 6 inches but it NEVER gets cleaned. Took me about five seconds! :rotfl: Everything else done, done, done!!! Of course, if you do all your lists everyday some of these things are covered and if you have bog all else to do with your time then you do the other things to fill in time! All will change next week when I START WORKING AGAIN!!!!! :rotfl:

    lol.. Hello kitty is white .. for now... lol

    The new FC GF is with told the SW she is doing really well with the baby and that she has no worries about her at all.. :D:D:D:D so it was just the last one being a !!!!!!.. the SW by all accounts is an absolute barstool too (according to another SW who has worked with her!)

    The new FC also has a daughter who knows DS1 and has done for quite some time and after speakign to DS today she said after what the SW had said she was expecting a total thick thug and was pleasantly suprised and said he can visit if he wants when the other foster children are at school.. they both have special needs so it is difficult when they are there to have extras. GF is really happy with them and looks much happier today.
