soappie I can be around for 8.45pm, Diggerland finishes 7.30pm so will be back by then. I have no decluttered rooms but I can go outside
kazmeister, hope the kalms helped. I find Bach's rescue remedy more effective.
Dusty strawberry fool or mousse yum yum!! Eton mess if there is some nice ones.
Penny that does look a nice cake, I love carrot cake!
boddy no problem, if you change your mind just let me know
You might have guessed I've not made it to the track day, was looking forward to it but felt vile when I got up and need to try to be straight for this evening (diggerland) I've even been drinking tea and eating toast, which I only ever crave when poorly tummy starts. How annoying I was looking forward to it as I haven't been to a track day for ages.....oh well
Anyway, because of the vileness I've done very little. I have sorted DW but that is all so far. Boys are trying to make themselves some lunch now, which they need to do (just sandwiches) but it's quite funny, DSs spreading skills are both so useless :rotfl: I shouldn't laugh but I don't know which is the worst at it and they both trying to show each other their way is best. Washer load should be done soon, wondering if weather will stay ok enough to get it out for a few hours.One day I might be more organised...........

SmoothiesMy 2 share this in the morning - 1 banana, about a cup of yoghurt and similar of fruit (tinned, defrosted or fresh). Whizzed up and served in a cup
They get calcium and fruit.

Sarahshattered - hugs for you. Think about what matters most to you - and make sure that they happen on a daily basis. For me the S&S BR, kitchen and 10 mins in the snug are daily essentials. As long as they happen I can mostly live with the rest of it. It may be a good time to re-nogotiate what everyone else does?.
Thanks Hex and Grateful, I must have sounded a bit glum. I'm ok about it really, I think it's just reality of suddenly having to be organised, where before I've always had the luxury of an 'ah well, I'll do it tomorrow' approach!!!!:rolleyes::D I'm usually pretty haphazard, but no longer methinks! :rotfl::eek::rotfl::eek:
