            Updating list with what is left - I won't get any stars this week but am managing to keep up with keeping it tidy, so I'm quite pleased with that. DS has been to Beavers twice but has given it up as he can't cope with the noise so thats freed up an hour on a Thursday night. Hugs to everyone, Soappie - congrats on completion news, birthday wishes to anyone I've missed and get well vibes to those who need them [sorry but I'm carp at remembering who needs what] and I can't multi-quote [button goes red and then looses it!!!!]

            Bigs hugs for Mudders and family, Triker lots of healing vibes coming your friend's way too.
 In my more than HHC I:
 untangled a load of necklaces and put them in seperate boxes
 scrubbed the tiles (there were only 2 or 3 that needed doing)
 dusted bathroom
 cleared off bookshelves, wiped and replaced, decided which books I need to keep this year from last for uni, put old uni work under desk (need to keep grammar type stuff as its useful, not clutter I swear)
 Going to do vocab list now for Boyf, and have a cup of coffee.

  and after I get DD1 from school I have to get the bus to Oxford (1 hr journey each way:eek:) to drop her off with her dad for the weekend which is always a pain and ruins all evening plans :mad: and after I get DD1 from school I have to get the bus to Oxford (1 hr journey each way:eek:) to drop her off with her dad for the weekend which is always a pain and ruins all evening plans :mad:
 Anyway I'd better get my bum into gear and get stuff ready to go and get DD1 from school and to Oxford and DD2 is asleep in her cot (where shes been for the past 2 1/2 hours!)
 Doubt i'll get anything other than hoovering and washing up done later so todays list will get done tomorrow.
 Happy FLYing all
