    Quillion - I know this is too late for this weekend, but I got christening pebbles for my friend's son. She also does other languages, so I got my gift done in gaelic. It was a huge success.

    Afternoon

    Pilates was good but my tummy is sore now, wonder what it will be like tomorrow :rolleyes:

    Kids all home. DS1 Biology exam seems to have gone ok. DS3 jogging on wiifit. Just having a cuppa then I need to spend time with DS2 and his coursework.

    I never did get to the ironing earlier as DS1 wanted me to test him on one of his units. I'll do it with Sur Alun later :D

    Washing looks dry and I need to remake 2 of the boys beds.

    Posting first and catching up after because I've only just got to the computer!

    I did all my bedrooms today so I think that covers today's star please Quillion :)


    It turned out to be a lovely day at last, sunny and warm. Got all my bedding dry and put away. Everything done in all three bedrooms and I did all the door tops, lampshades etc. upstairs.

    Then I cut the grass back and front, edged it and swept up. Did some trimming back of a privet bush that's appeared in the front garden (I suppose birds planted it).

    Then dusted the living room and computer desk and vacuumed right through downstairs which got rid of the grass I dropped on the way through and the mound of cat hair in the kitchen from last night's tag wrestling match.

    This afternoon I went to the shops with DD2.

    Work soon but I'll try to catch up a bit. Hope everyone's OK.

    Well done on the new job Rach and lil-me's DP on passing the test.
