    Best get the kitchen surfaces cleared I suppose...
  • Cuddles with DS interrupted by text from school, several swine flu cases today, so guess we'll not be hurrying back.

    DS now happily watching Bolt so I've 45 minutes or so to do some more bits.

    wanders off to WM again....


    Moam
    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    Another load of washing in. One small section of work surface cleared and wiped, including tiles. Hob thoroughly cleaned (bacon sarnies for Sunday lunch... delicious but messy!), kettle cleaned and polished... two more loads of laundry to go... so on with the next section of kitchen!

    Carlsberg - I've not been able to read much of the thread but I have seen your news. You should be so proud of yourself - the way you are supporting your DD is brilliant and she's so lucky to have you on her side. Massive hugs to your whole family xxxxxx

    I've not done a huge amount of flying yet but haven't seemed to stop all day. I'm going to find my list and see what's left to do.

    Hugs to everyone and sorry i've not been able to read the thread.

    Tootles - DS is a lot better thank you. He still gets pains but not as badly. He's started back at TaeKwonDo, running club and athletics and is at school again full time. We get more results on the 8th December. It all seems like a very bad nightmare now.


    ETA
    I've done more than I thought....

    Dust and deweb
    Wipe all the doors in the hall and stairs
    Clear and wipe the mantel

    Posting dates for overseas chistmas mail is drawing near.. get it gone in time!!


    If I do the dusting before I go and pick up DS there won't be much left. BRB xx
