    Jo, that's terrible; I really feel for you :grouphug:

    Hope all the porlies feel better soon :kisses3:

    Something or someone has broked the shroud on my laptop power lead, and there are wires poking through :eek: I'm having to use the desktop, and am looking on e-bay for a new lead and power pack :o

    I'm taking the children shopping to York today. DS needs some smart clothes for the wedding we're off to next month, and some trainers.

    See you all later, Penny. x

    In my HHC I've

    Put dishes away
    Washed more dishes
    S & S kitchen

    Quincy's on at 8.30 so planning on doing a couple of HHIs while I watch that. I haven't got much ironing to do but then there's the stuff on the line if that's dry and then later there will be the other stuff I'm washing.

    DH decided last night that we may not go down the caravan until tomorrow morning depending on how tired he is tonight. I'd planned on stripping the kids' beds today and leaving them unmade so the mattresses could have a bit of an air and then DH can make them again some time next week but I can't do that if they've got to sleep in them tonight.

    Hugs to all the poorlies, hope you all feel better soon.
    Moam, I haven't read everything and don't know details but I hope your son does well with his op.
    Jo I hope everything works out for you.

    I'd done some of Friday's list already :) I just need to get going on some of these other things. Meeting my bro and SIL for coffee at lunchtime and daughter is having a friend round while I am gone. Her bed needs stripping etc before I go out! Not that I should care if the friend notices if it's not been made fresh. I'll know and will feel better if I do it.
    1. Mow grass with rechargable strimmer if dry enough..
    2. Upload turbolisted items to eBay (check is there a cheap listing day soon?)
    3. Get growbags for tomato plants, stat!
    4. [STRIKE]Write meal plan/grocery list and stick to it [/STRIKE]
    5. [STRIKE]Work out the finances[/STRIKE]
