    Afternoon all

    Been down town two days running (ooh the excitement!) and haven't got as much done as I should.
    I've just mopped the kitchen floor and am going to have a look at the washing machine filter when the floor's dry - haven't done this since I bought WM in Sept.
    I'm not going to get much done in the main bedroom - I'm saving my energy for the kids rooms which are going to be grim - need to empty out more stuff from under the beds:eek:

    Morning all

    Monday and Tuesday lists completed.

    .


    I've also completed today's list, so three stars altogether please Toots. I hope you are feeling better today.

    Much milder today but heavy showers so the washing is draped round indoors.

    Had a nice morning, a new friend came over with her new baby so I had a lovely cuddle. Despite having 5 children my broodiness is back with a vengance. Did loads before she came round. Washed kitchen/diningroom/hall floors, put away all clutter. Emptied bins. S/S kitchen after breakfast massacre. On top of that I managed to straighten my hair and put some slap on.

    Off to tackle bedroom for 15 mins before I go to get DS3 and DD2 from school and nursery.

    Afternoon, folks

    Happy Birthday Hex and Sarah.

    I'm thinking of starting a training class for all our BDs. They clearly need to learn how to Lie Down And Be Quiet!:cool:

    I'm another advocate of using the phone alarm as a tablet reminder; I'm on sustained release morphine, which is best taken at the same time each day, and 12 hours apart, so my phone squeaks at me at 07:30 and 19:30 each day.

    On to flying..... I had a mad fit today, and rushed around to get it all finished.:D

    I hope those who've been going through a rough time of late are having a better day today - too many to list; you know who you are.:o

    Can I have a weeny OT bit? Got an email from a pal of Mr LW's; he wants us to have Molly Dog for 16 days from 23rd July.:j:j:j I can't wait!:D:T
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)
