    Good evening everyone. Bit of a manic day what with car at the menders, buses that dont turn up when they are supposed to and major accident on the way back just in front of us. Result was it took all morning to go to the hairdressers and back.

    I've managed to do today's list but not caught up with yesterday's yet. I'll add it to tomorrow's.

    Soappie please may I have a Thursday star?

    Toots it is so nice to see you back again. Take it easy.

    I've been bitten on my arm - I bet that happened when I went to pick the strawberries after dinner, hope it doesn't go last the last one.

    Just getting the swimming stuff out the WM and then off to bed to read.

    :j:j:j:hello: Hi tootti!!!! Welcome home!!! We have missed you loads! Goodnight, sleep tight.

    Very good day at school today - some work I had spent hours preparing went just how I hoped it would (doesn't always!). I had to stay late though to finish the Year 7 reports.

    I did manage to get the bedroom done, a bit yesterday and a bit today - and I delegated a list to DS1. He has to go in tomorrow, to put up his photography work - they have a 6th form art exhibition, and I am going in next week to see his work and DD's as well.

    Day off tomorrow - so I shall do the bathroom, and hopefully get some gardening done. I also have an ice cream tub full of gooseberries and fancy making some jam.

    See you tomorrow...



    It is never too late to become what you were always intended to be

    Welcome back Toots, hope you have a good nights sleep in your own bed. We have all missed you so much. xx

    More sorting out done today, but no decorating.
    Need to be up early & tidy round, prospective tenant coming to view at 10 a.m. property has not even been put on the internet yet, the 'To Let' board only went up on Tuesday, the estate agents haven't even got the photo's taken yet, I had too many boxes strewn around every room last week for them to take any decent photos plus I need to decorate the lounge. No rest for the wicked :rotfl:

    Toots is back - yay!!

    I think I'm going to have to admit defeat. I cannot keep up no matter whether I've got the day at home, at work, or where ever!! My weeks ALWAYS fall apart. Feeling very deflated to finally admit that. I absolutely long to be organised and in control but I think a longing is all it will ever be. Perhaps I'll have a break and see what it leads too. **Sigh** - I don't know.

    Well, I have no work today, so I'm going to potter through the house - will see how far I get. Have bathrooms to clean and beds to change. Washing needs to get up to date, too, as it's been raining all week (and still is). Better go . . .sad0071.gifsad0071.gif
