Made beds
Collected laundry
Wm x 1
Put washing on airer
S & S Bathroom

Ds1 is sorting out the Kitchen, i wasn't happy last night when i got home and saw the state of it.:eek: Before i left it was nice and clean and tidy. Ds1 and Dsd2 had made burgers, mini kievs, chips and ravioli. The George was out and there were dirty dishes everywhere.:mad: So i'm making him sort it all out. His Xbox has already been confiscated after he had a paddy yesterday when i asked him to run the hoover around. It's time he learnt i'm not here to run around after him cleaning up.

HHC at 10.30 anyone? It'll give me time to get dressed.

Well done G & B :j:j.

:hello: Morning!

Busy day yesterday, out at tai chi and then ms centre (they all liked the cornflake cookies so, as i have a huge box that needs de-cluttering, I must make more). Then into town to take advantage of the M & S deals!:money:
Out in the evening for a delicious meal at friends, so hard enough to pace let alone fly! Anyway result is Saturday is now Friday iyswim so the spare room to do. No children anymore but dd, despite moving out a year ago, still has lots of "stuff" in there and we need to rearrange the bed etc and move the office in there.

(((hugs))) to all that need them especially skipsmum and ds's.
