    Hi all

    Been awol again this week, busy week really. DH was off work yesterday and did some flying, though not the whole lists but it's a start. The lounge and bathroom need doing today and the bedroom needs dusting.

    Has been a bit of a week in our family, found out my godmother (mum's best friend forever) has breast cancer, my 8 month old nephew got a nasty bug and ended up in hospital overnight as he was so dehydrated, and a close friend's mum died. Hopefully that's the 3.

    I have a few other small jobs to do today:

    card for a. joy
    card for A&A
    WM - clothes, bedding
    Tweak & print sermon for tomorrow
    Shopping - mayonnaise, pancakes, rice,
    return library books
    update antivirus
    Mum to gorgeous baby boy born Sept 2010:j

  • washing on x2 - would have been 3 but the loaded machine i left last night suffered a mechanical failure - OH forgot to press the start button!!:mad::mad::mad:

    Have spent an hour sorting Mount Ironmore in the dining room - all non-iron stuff now folded and upstairs - where it should have been days ago!:o:o

    OH very impressed with sudden burst of efficiency.....haven't told him it was all in aid of looking for the memory stick with DD2's food project on!:shhh::shhh:.

    Have found said stick - relief all round!;)

    Morning all,

    I've done the washing up, i need to get dressed and do the rest of my dailies then we're going to go to the market. Both boys are painting together, they never usually do anything together due to the age gap but it's nice to see them .
