    i've done 5 wash loads including 2 duvets which have been aired and are now back on the beds all plumped!:j

    I've done a mountain of ironing....still a hill to go though!:eek:

    Iam completely wiped out - off to bed in a bit - got to clean the place tomorrow so it's not too bad when DD1's best mate comes to stay at the weekend - we're going to my sisters wedding...but DD1 isn't well enough (severe ME) so her mate is coming to stay till Sunday.:A

    I'm so tired I almost wish I wasn't going....:mad:

    Sorry - i have no flying to report today - a little bit of general tidying here and there, but absolutely nothing of any significance.

    DS was doing my head in because he had no one to play with.....nothing would keep him occupied for more than 5 minutes then he was back at me again...... EVERYTHING, no matter what, was......000200D4.gif

    So i ended up taking him swimming in the end, which i wanted to do tomorrow. I then came home after that, and then went to a class at the gym with my friend.....then back to hers for a BBQ! I am exhausted now and will hopefully sleep. I havent slept well for weeks with everything else which has been going on and now my dad is in hospital (NO SYMPATHY PLEASE!) and i dont even want to think about it.

    I just want to SLEEP!!!!

    See you all tomorrow, when im playing catch up!!

    Evening everyone. Been working today so just the dailies done here. I havent caught up with the thread yet but will do that tomorrow as I can hear my bed calling. When I came down the street all the young uns from next door were at my gate and wall. Unlike me but I had words with them. They said they would be quiet and were going anyway. Oh and good news is that DD had a interview for Mr A today and is through to next stage. :D Hugs for anyone who needs one.

    Wow just caught up after being awol for 2 days. Had a few friends round yesterday afternoon and had to kick them out an hour before another viewing. I am pig sick of doing viewings, why wont someone buy my house:confused:
    I have been busy flying too but have been picking blackberries today with kids and been given toms, beans plums and bottle of wine by my DH's lovely aunt. Now I need to read the thread on blackberries so I know what to do with them other than a crumble.
    Hugs to Kaz and Jo for cat and ex. And congrats again on job to other Jo.

  • Hi everyone!
    Blimey what a day, work was very busy, I'll be very glad once the school holidays are over with!
    One of the cats went missing this morning & shes usually very reliable, hardly ever goes for more than half an hour without checking back to make sure we are still here but by the time I was already late leaving for work there was no sign of her. I was so stressed by lunchtime thinking something had happened to her that I took an extra long lunch to come home to look for her...She was sat by the back door wailing to be let in for food! What a relief that was...I'd never cope with kids, cats are too much stress for me some days!

    Anyway I've done some flying this evening & made a start on the bedrooms as we've got OH's family staying with us this weekend.
