    Evening all,

    Pigpen that's wonderful news about your Sister :j.

    Well done Mudbath :beer:.

    Triker :eek::eek::eek:.

    Ds2 has come home with the wrong coat, the problem is thinking about it i think he's had the wrong one since last week. There's been little things niggling about it ( like the zip being further down and it being slightly thinner) but the penny only dropped earlier when i realised it was black not navy:o. I had to wash it as well as he'd got it filthy, i'll take it back into Nursery tomorrow and try to find his.

    Since my last post i have

    School run

    DS1 put all his dirty laundry in the washing basket, put his clean clothes away, brought the dirty dishes down and put all the rubbish in the bin from his room

    Made Ds1's lunch for tomorrow
    Cooked Tea ( chicken curry )
    Put dry dishes away
    Washed up

    OH bathed Ds2 & we both put him to bed
    Ds2 tidied his toys away in the Living room

    Triker - Am so sorry about your turd, I too have a cat who brings me moles, birds, baby rats, mice and rabbits with no heads so I totally sympathise but.....I wet my pants laughing at that. My girl usually does her business outside although when we were on holiday last year, my neighbour was looking after her, I couldn't resist leaving a fake jobby in the kitchen lol!!! When I came home I asked her how the cat had been as there was a horrid smell in the kitchen and she confessed that pepper (my cat) had a wee accident and she had got it with kitchen roll and put it in the bin, I was laughing so hard then had to tell her it was me who put it there and not the cat!!! Sorry that is so gross but that is my sense of humour, I then had to go in the bin and fetch the fake poo as I had borrowed it !!

    All my kitchen worksurfaces are now decluttered and gleaming!:D

    I'm just waiting the WM to finish so I can empty it and then I'll probably go to bed. I hadn't better leave it as late as last night. I haven't done anything on today's list but I'm getting somewhere on yesterday's so that's a start.
