    Good morning all, hope you are all well,I have decided that I am not doing what I was supposed to doing this morning.....drop stuff off at the charity shop, then welsh class....CBA!!!!
    Will have a look through books and notes for class though and may start on homework given earlier in the year!!!! And go to the charity shop in the morning.
    After work, I have to get DD's packed lunch/tea ready(is cooked), cook food for SW, take DD swimming then off to SW. Need to get diesel sometime today as well....won't make it to swimming and back otherwise.

    Ireally think this shi££y weather makes us just want to hibernate.....enough is enough already!!!!

    Right enough waffling, I put a new ironing board cover on this morning as the old one was rotten.....hence small spongy bits all over the floor.....Off t o put the hoover round and maybe look at the list???????

    :bdaycake:Happy birthday Mumof2 xx

    Hi everyone

    I've not been keeping up with the thread, and not doing more than bare essentials of flying. It's 3 months since Dad's funeral this week, I'm back at uni, and not sure I can cope with everything.

    I might be back in a few weeks.

    Hugs to everyone, especially LadyL Toots and any other poorlies
