    Afternoon all - thanks everyone for the encouragement and a big hello to all the new faces!

    Well so far today I have done pretty much nothing and enjoyed every minute of it. I have helped DS line his cars up in nice straight lines although he wasn't impressed that I didn't group them in colour and somehow ended up promising DD we will make cookies later for her to take when she visits her great nan tomorrow. Temptation or what, how am I going to resist freshly baked cookies :eek::eek:

    Anyways for the rest of the day I will do something, more work on the study - I can almost see the dining table again and it would be nice to use it to eat at rather than to store bills on and I am going to get the kids help me to count up all the loose change that needs banking.

    Be back later - DD is messing up DS's cars to annoy him x x

    My DS loves cars known him to line them up but generally he prefers crashing them across the room.

    ooo, a boy after my own heart! I can never decide when organising my wardrobe whether or not to put the clothes together by type or by colour so usually end up doing type then colour but it really annoys me when I go into DS's room and he's got stuff in random order! I suppose I should be grateful that he's moved on from the floordrobe:D!

    if you resist the cookies you are a very strong woman:D or then again maybe an alien:rolleyes:.

    Hi Penguin,

    You were so kind to stop by my diary and wish me better so had to come by yours and say hello.

    Well done on everything so far. The law degree sounds exciting? i bet its hard work though. But great rewards in the end!
