    I have now applied online for DS3's secondary school place.. we will still be going to see the schools so he has a choice and it is possible to alter the form should he change his mind once he has seen what is on offer.. but it is essentially done.. should I forget to go back to it in the coming weeks.

    I need a cuppa and ice cream.. more decluttering lol.

    Rubbish out to the bin
    recycling out to bin

    I have a binbag to fill for the charity shop too.. stuff that has gone through teh wash and no longer fits and is too big to send to nursery. I'd also like very much to know where my camera is so I can get some bits listed on ebeast.

    Right..off to log in to my ucas application and see what updates there has been seeing as I have had several notifications of changes.

  • Hello! Not done much today flyingwise or caught up on the thread, sorry about that! I've been out this morning and was resting this afternoon. Had a lovely morning, the weather was gorgeous! Had a nice chat with my friend too so that was good.

    I've washed up and made DH clean the bathroom sink after he shaved and left it all dirty. And the bag with all the glass bottles/jars has just split and the glass is all over the floor so I'd better go and clean that up I guess! I don't think anythings broken, it's on the lowest hook so not far to fall!

    Going over to Mum's tomorrow so probably won't be able to get on here at all. I think I will take my scrapbook stuff so I can have something to do in between fetching drinks and doing what ever she needs me to do! She's still just staying in bed as she can't manage the stairs, but it will probably do her good to have some enforced rest altho the pain is probably tiring her out.
