    Serena - thinking of you xx

    This morning I need to wait in until about 10 because I thought I'd booked the piano tuner to come this morning. When I looked in my diary it's written down as next Friday which I vaguely remember arranging....now i'm not sure:rotfl:.

    Today I need to;

    - walk dog (one already walked)
    - dry stuff in washing machine for ten mins and hang
    - do another wash
    - guinea pig eye drops x 3
    - go to library
    - sort some books out for a friend
    - s/s kitchen
    - do dining room list

    When i've done all of that i'll do something else.

    Speak later xx

    i am a bit behind this week as we have company on wednesday so all i did them was my daily stuff so i am playing catch up, hopefully will manage to get all of it done today as it's soo cold i need to keep warm, DD is all wrapped up with a cardi on - i am in paranoid mother mode as she is full of cold and has a bit of a temp but i need to keep her warm without her getting too warm as she suffers from fits when she has a temp so almost every hour i am checking her temp and delayering her/layerin her back up if she needs it - she has been having fits for almost 2.5 yrs and it still scares the living daylights out of me, even though i know how to deal with them and stuff!

    right i am off to start moving Abiane's room around, haven't caught up with the thread as i spend far too much time on here once i start reading and end up getting nothing done, so hugs to anyone that needs them:grouphug:

    Nicnacnoo - I think it's only right that you have to come and do my level 1s if you've already done yours!!!:rotfl:(worth a try!!)

    Wilf - are you doing some DIY then? Sorry, but i'm nosy.

    The piano tuner hasn't turned up so I'm guessing I did book it for next week. Time to get stripes out of her cosy bed and take her to the park - she can even go in the puddles as i've got a good plastic bag for her leg. I'm borrowing a neighbours dog for a proper walk later.
