    Flower-tomorrow sounds good. DD have sent DD to playschool today so hope she feels ok (she wanted to go). DD should be at playschool 9-11.30 and DS 9-3 :D

    Re the magazine I once asked at my doctors surgery about some magazine. I had some new Mother and Baby mags and they said they couldn't accept them :rolleyes:

    Sounds like a plan tomorrow then - I'll confirm later if that's OK, but do you want to come over after you've picked up DD?

    I will speak to my Doctors I think and see what they say, thanks for that. x

    I've been up since DH went to work just after 8am, but only just got on here. WM is on and I've replied to a wedding invite. Have also decided to go to Mr T tomorrow as the delivery prices are quite high on a weekend. I may yet change my mind though!

    Morning all and get well vibes to everybody not in great health right now.

    Jjef - yes I am invigilating at the moment and DS1 is doing GCSE's so life seems to revolve around mine and his timetables and cricket matches at the moment. I hope you get out of the cupboard today x

    Must get on as I'm slipping on my list and have a huge pile of paperwork today as well, I think I need another cuppa though to get me moving.

    Flylady - would a school/college want them for interior design students?

    Good point, that's what I get them for to see what's going on, but might be good for our local evening class college (probably a bit out of date for 'proper' design students who have to keep up with latest trends) but would be good for those learning colour flow, etc. Thanks Dusty...

    Well, my bedding is about to come out of the dryer so I will do my HHI on that in a bit - DS is being a right royal pain so am sending him out shopping with my Mum ;) - saves me going later x Tootles x x x
