    hi all.

    well back from my little holiday. Had a great time although was a little lonely at times but was lovely seeing the children have a great time. I didn't even get too lost :D:D

    Put everything away and have the second load of washing on already :D:D

    Hope that everyone is ok.

    Afternoon, looking much better upstairs but downstairs is a disaster zone - that can wait until tomorrow.

    MOJT - I'm very proud of you for taking the kids away on your own. Hope you have a lovely easter

    Soappie - way to go on the 100 chuck out.

    Scrap store stuff in the car. Going to do an online shop for most of the stuff and then pop to waitrose on the way back from SS for the rest.

    Not having a good day. BIL dropped off niece (he knows I'm not feeling great) and took DS1 to sort Pops garden. So I've still the same amount of kids just not all mine. Tried to fly but I'm feeling lousy again so I'm off to lie on top of the bed.

    Hope you feel better soon FFP.

    Just watched neighbours whilst eating my yummy vegetable stirfry and noodles, and have just eaten a yoghurt as well for my lunch. Had better go and do the washing up now then so that I keep my earlier promise to do it straight away.

    Will do a HHC when I've finished that.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.
