Hugs FFP, hope the kids go away soon!


Fedup, I saw Famous Rich and Homeless too, it was really moving wasn’t it. It could happen to anyone so easily, it’s awful

Thanks Rosepink and big hugs back. Kids still here and I'm now 3 hrs 56 mins into the hols and I think I'm taking the trampoline down because of the carry on out there!
I was watching FR&H too can't help thinking there goes me but for the grace of God.

A bit more study done sick of reading about gender now, another WM but it's going in the TD as it's going to pour here it's as dark as night out there. Still to make the crumble will do that now.

Thursday Scrub-a-dub ~ bathroom/loo Done!!:D:D
Level One
Level Two
Level Three

Really tired today, so spent most of the time curled up reading a book. DD quite enjoyed the prom, but it wasn't as good she'd expected - the fire alarm kept going off, and they stood outside for an hour, and it was too hot inside to stay for long or dance.

I was woken up by the loud student next door slamming the front door really hard (twice) and shoutin 'f*** off then' to whoever - at 3am. I was less than thrilled. Not sorry they're moving out next week.

It's warm, cloudy and humid here - yuck. DS2 is doing his D of E expedition this weekend, so hope it doesn't rain both days.

I can't remember where the trip was dusty, sorry it didn't go well. Early get together with Rose then?;)

Afternoon all,

First time on today as its been a busy one - dog walk then coffee with friends this morning and DD1 sports this afternoon, but in between I have been pottering so off to find my list to see what I can cross off.

I have to echo other people's comments that Toots is amazing! Thank you for making a newbie feel very welcome and for keeping us all going

Haven't done much flying today - I confess the idea of clearing my girls' floors made me shudder! They are really into Sylvanian Families and their floors are covered with tiny tiny little toys all carefully set up - so it's definitely a weekend job that needs their participation (ie make them do it!)

I have been slowly continuing yesterday's chuck out 100 things task - there's another bag in the car for the charity shop. And I'm very proud of myself that I've actually been putting things away instead of just batting them around from one place to another.

So thank you all, and here's to next week!

That is why childrens rooms are on a Friday..

Sorry, got a little lost after my 2:00 challenge(that finished at 3), went to get DD, came back, decided not to go down the van, cooked DD some food, mum came for a visit, popped to shop,(and didn't follow my mother into the chinese!!! Good for SW and my pocket!!) and now I'm back, all five days completed TOOTS , Thanks xx
