    Evening all

    Busy day with work and boys swimming, just cooking pasta now.

    Did have a couple of hours in the garden earlier, planting out dahlias. Nearly there but could do with a couple more hours tomorrow.

    Soappie - hope the meeting went well. I see lots of cooking with eggs for you in the future.

    SS hope day two went well

    Mudbath - how's your back holding up?

    G&B hope your results are online soon, you deserve a rest

    Lil_me hi busy bee

    Be back later to create a mega list x

    DONE

    I have now done all the ironing - first lot put away; second lot ironed and airing...and I cleaned all windows in those rooms which was matched by the window cleaners who've been - and I pointed out where they had missed

    and cuddled a still sobbing DS - and cleaned his bedroom window and not moaned at him for getting greasy fingermarks on it...


    Three stars IN ONE DAY! Go me!

    Have caught up now!

    cally - am very jealous of your DS; I'd love to go to Download and am desperate to see Faith No More, Def Leppard and Motley Crue again. I am going to Reading, but the line-up's not as good!

    soappie - exciting! Wonder what BB will make of them. Oh, and glad the meeting was useful

    MOJT - hugs; hope you can get it sorted

    grateful - hugs; been there and know what it's like. Shout this way if you need to

    Right - must catch up with the school stuff.

    Back later x
