    Stars are up to date. I've awarded myself one too as I've done the kitchen and one of the extras. I'm now going to take the laptop into the garden I think. It's too hot to do anymore

    I am so not in the flying mood.

    Done my MS, banking and brought the bits for my cordial plus picked the flowers.

    Bad news about the Air France plane which is missing.

    Going to do a HHC in a bit in the kitchen and see how far I get then make my cordial and do some paperwork.

    Cricket and Beavers tonight.

    Frodders - hope your day was ok at school and that you managed to speak to your head

    Not as bad as I thought. Just a few bits left to do.

    Here's little Sunny's list:

    YOUNG HELPER LIST
    Can you collect all the dirty plates and cups and stuff from about the house?
    Could you fill a carrier of rubbish?
    And let's see if you can do some dusting? Wipe away all the dust and fluff and dirt in one room!

    She has already cleaned her shoes ready for Monday and did all her homework last week.

    Wow sillyinthepast...you've done a great job today. Welcome to the thread.

    See you all later. x
