    Uniform Washer
    Evening folks,

    Im tired, very very tired. Have done lots of flying. did lots of ironing last night and got the pile down to one managable basket.

    But had a load of washing out first thing this morning, put another wash on, then took littley to school, put the car in for its MOT, walked home.

    Hung out second load of washing, strimmed the front garden, weeded said garden, cut hedge - dug out a MASSIVE ant hill, walked a million loads of rubbish from the front garden up to the garden waste bins which are out the back of the house (and as im on a hill, theres a load of steps ........*sigh*........)

    In between this time I managed to clean the kitchen (some of it at least).....decluttered my old dinner set to a freecycler, washed up new ones.

    Then i went to the new school for the meeting. Its a lovely school. Im pleased.

    Then i had to walk back to the garage, pick up my car and then go to school and pick up my DS and his friend who lives over the road........ (Friend, husband and child were all coming to mine for dinner tonight since I had a day off and she was working).....anyway I forgot that my DS had rounders after school tonight and i had to pick up ryan at 3.15 and then go back at 4pm for my own!!!

    Then I came home AGAIN, cleaned some more of the ktichen, made lasange, ate, did most of the dishes and then have collapsed into bed in a heap with my laptop.

    So i have another basket of ironing to do.....but hey ho, such is life.

    Im going to read in bed (PS I love you) till i fall asleep. I can do no more tonight. I havent read this post back so im sure its a load of waffle that makes no sense...... but trust me..... even if it doesnt sound like loads....it was! I promise

    Love n hugs all round.......i will catch up 2m xxx
    :)Sometimes lurking, sometimes posting, but always flying:)

    I'll be having an early night on Friday ready for my 20 mile walk on Saturday. I can't believe it's come round so quickly :eek:. I have to pick up a friend at 7am to make sure we get there on time. And I have a feeling that when I get back I'll just want to sleep!

    Thanks for all the kind words about the job - I can't deal with family yet, so called my brother while he was at work (he can't answer if he has a patient with him ;)) and asked him to let my parents know and tell them not to call me as I'm not ready to discuss it yet.

    Right... really must go and get that washing in...

    Wonderful Wednesday - Kitchen and dining room ALL DONE TOOTS

    toochoosy. I agree with others and think your friend was jealous. You should defo do one and I think its a lovely thing to do for someone. Was thinking of you today as I saw a nappy cake in a shop window and thought Oh thats what they are like.
    hex You dealt with the situation well and I feel for your son. She should have been keeping an eye on her son.
    Soappie Hope you dont have to wait in again for another phone if Dss is dodgy.
    greenbee Hugs.
