    Hi everyone. Happy Easter
    Have just come back off hol so no flying done until yesterday. was glad to come back & tackle the lads roooms. Cleared 7!! binbags of stuff off their floors:eek: All sorted thru with what is to stay back & neatly sorted. Bet it won't stay like that long tho!!
    Here is what remains of my mini list. Friday fun! - childrens rooms
    We need these looking nice for when the children go back to school so I think it is only fair they help clear up!
    Level Three
    Sort through a clothing cupboard.. anything outgrown?
    Put any discs back in cases and books back on shelves etc
    Dust.. lightshades, curtain poles, games consoles/PC's etc
    Extras

    1. Make sure coats and shoes and uniforms are ready for school and homework is all done so you can relax the second week of holidays!
    2. Wipe any sticky handprints and dirty marks off walls and doors
    3. Wipe down the paintwork & radiators
    4. Clean out any pets!

    :easter_os:easter::EasterBunHappy Easter Everyone!

    Hope you're all having a good day. We've had hot cross buns for breakfast (and chocolate, of course) then gone over to see my parents, then gone to IL's for roast dinner lunch with SIL and her 3 kids and other SIL and her 2 kids too. Its great to have all the children together. They don't know how lucky they all are being so close to all their cousins.

    DH has now gone to the football so I'm having a quiet half hour while DD1 plays in her room and DD2 has a sleep.

    We've had a busy few days so not much flying been done here but I promise a more concerted effort will be made next week. (honest Toots!:D)

    Light tea for us as we've had a big lunch then I'll be going for a run and starting my mount everest size ironing pile.

    See you later. x

    Dusty do you fancy an ebay challenge for this evening as I need to get some stuff listed too?
    toots xx

    I'll jump in on this one as well please.....lots of my stuff has sold this afternoon, but need to package it all up........I hate that part.

    Toots you know I am sensible really ;) just couldn't sleep last night, think all the recent stresses & strains caught up with me. Trouble is there are other people on here :D who have a much higher score than me on FB bejeweled game & I want to catch up :o:rotfl:

    Still grey & miserable here, but I have had a text from Sexymouse & we are going out for lunch on Wednesday, so that's something to look forward to.

    Love to all

    xx

    Back from the inlaws. Niceish lunch of roast beef and we got an easter egg each which was a nice surprise. DH is making a cuppa and cracking one open now. :) Don't think I'm going to get all 5 stars as no kids room and though I hoovered and tidied the spare room it doesn't really need any more doing to it!

    I'm wondering if I'm a bit anaemic as still weirdly shattered and very pale. Must get some vits with iron in and see. I need to ask the dr for some blood tests anyway so perhaps get her to add that in.

    Easter Eggs - I was pleased to see how many where being sold 'unpackaged' or with just cardboard this year - a great step forward and I hope they sold well.

    I was thinking I could use the plastic packaging as cloches in my new lil veg patch. What do you think?

    Thanks Penny. Well done on completing the whole week again. I wonder whether anyone else has managed to keep up with you? Toots will have to start a hall of fame for total number of weeks completed/continuous weeks completed!

    Thank you :A After doing this for a few weeks, it certainly gets much easier, and I'm determined now not to miss a week :D

    DH took me to the garden centre, where I bought a beautiful blue clematis alpina, some sea holly, 2 French lavender bushes, and 3 tomatoes. All planted (apart from the toms - I can't find any string :confused: ). Going to post some photos of the garden from this morning on the Greenfingered board soon ;)

    DH is now cooking a pork loin from our Berkshire pig box and there's a Christmas pudding to go with :T
    See you all tomorrow :beer:
