Depending on when they are due back, could you fit in more than one? Maybe an hour or so on each?

I'm just decluttering lunch and will get dressed after a cuppa, so I can finally put the rubbish out. Then DS2 and I are heading into town (5 min walk). It's only a small place, so we should be back in just over an hour.
I've managed to knock quite a few things off the list, but it's still a bit too long to post. Putting in all the effort during half-term has really paid off and I'm starting to believe that it will get easier (eventually).

Froddy - 'Get well soon' vibes for the little lad and I hope your weekend goes as well as possible.

I have spent all mornign decluttering 2000 emails!!! I now have.. 3. I should be getting an email with DS3's high school allocation on Monday so I want to be able to find it easily.

I am now off to collect DD2's new glasses an dpick up some shopping.. nothing very interesting but needs must! I need to find a new noonoo for the shower today too.
