    Hi,

    I've had a shower, ironed some clothes, got dressed, done my makeup, made Ds1's lunch and packed my college bag. Ds2 has just woken up and i've attempted to wake up Ds1 but i think he's gone back to sleep:rolleyes:. I've got to feed, wash and dress Ds2, nag Ds1 and dry and straighten my hair.

    I probably won't get back on now until later so i hope everyone has a good day.

    Toots don't overdo it;)

    Morning All

    +++ for Hazel + + +

    Toots hope you had a wonderful sleep and are resting.

    Well my builder is coming round today to collect his things although I think he hopes he can still work but NO way.

    DS has run out of school tops as I haven't been able to use the WM as I was worried about leaks (my good builder). When he tested the WM it leaked :rolleyes:

    The sun is shining today :D:D:D
