    Hello everyone

    Hope you are all ok. I haven't been on here for a couple of weeks. Since my foster-son arrived things have gone a bit pear shaped and I am feeling really low to boot :( I think it's the time of year. Plus said lad does sweet nothing in the house and disappears out all the time. He also spills sugar all over the kitchen floor when he is making coffee. I know it's only a little thing but it makes the floor all sticky and it is driving me potty! Please tell me that this is a normal reaction :rotfl:

    Anyway, enough moaning. I am going to try some flying today since my appointment has been cancelled so I have a clear morning. First step is to put my worms in the worm bin - they were delivered earlier this morning so I'd better empty them into the worm bin, poor things. They have been in an envelope for 5 days as I kept missing the delivery man - I hope they are still alive or I will feel horribly guilty. Then I will have to take the dogs out for another walk and after that I may do some cleaning. :A
    Aspire not to have more but to be more.

    Level Two
    Wipe units and large appliances
    Give one small appliance a good clean!

    3. Clean blinds and light fittings
    4. Dust and deweb.
    Must find a way of unblocking the guttering. My beloved DS's play a game of throwing tennis balls over the house. Inevitably some of the tennis balls fall short and get stuck in the guttering. Water was pouring over the guttering yesterday (all over my just cleaned windows) and on investigation a rogue tennis ball is blocking the down pipe. It's a 3 storey house so I need a long pole to try and lean out of the loft bedroom window. Broom handle is too short and I'm struggling for inspiration.

    Lower lightest DS on a rope from the loft window?;)

    Sorry that was stupid and unhelpful - At that height you need a professional - window cleaner, roofer with proper ladder etc.
    You could try explaining to DSs that 'whatever' will have to be cancelled as you had to use the money to sort the gutter - might make them stop.

    Greenbee i'm on my way, mention cake and one as lovely looking as that and i'm there.:D

    Kids all droped off and hopefully it will be quite day. Gonna get Rhys feed and start the kitchen,i've got till 1pm to get everything done.:eek:
    No washing can be done either as the fire can't be lit and plumber not due till this evening. (((Rain stay away vibes))) line full of towels at the minute plus basket flowing over.

    Mumto5 please be careful.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
