      I can't remember what my list said or what i've done on it!! Had a lovely day driving my parents round - really nice catching up with them. Dad has, hopefully his last, eye op next week so it was nice to chill out with them.

      Living room is now perfect, front room and dining room sorted. Need to s/s the kitchen.

      I was thinking of past flyladies earlier. Does anyone here from Michelle or chunky or have I just missed them?

      DH out tonight so i'm going to have an early night xx

      As such I have always said that dusting PC is oH's responsibility......

      Mudbath - Michelle posts on facebook, she seems to be doing well. Haven't seen any posts by Chunky for a while.

      Jinky - hugs for you. I seem to spend a tedious amount of time bored at the moment. I even miss the boys when they are not at school, and then they come home and shatter the fantasy.

      Today I put the DW on and hoovered the ground floor. Really rather poor attempt at flying but I just CBA. Very excited though because I just ordered the belfast sink for my new kitchen so DH can get on with building the units, and I found somewhere for my tiles that is 40% cheaper for the exact same ones.

      I heard from Michelle a while a go while organising Jo's thing - she said that she's trying to arrange giving up work

      Well done to HRH Princess Piper on getting her story award

      Sorry about the bus nightmare Summer, that’s what annoys me about public transport, it’s so unreliable

      Hugs Jinky

      I'm really tired tonight and really can't be bothered to do anything. Got to get the washing out of the machine but apart from that I don't think I'm going to do anything else today. I did want to get the LR tidied up, but I'm pleased as the kitchen still looks tidy and so does the bedroom.

      Oh that is me too! I've never missed the kids when they are at school before but I do now, until they come home of course.

      Been to cricket awards and two very happy lads

      DS2 Batsman of the year U13
      DS3 Player of the year U10 (not bad when you're 7!)

      DS1 got £50 for his work experience so he is well pleased (especially as he over slept and was late this morning - another lesson learnt)
