    Evening all.

    I found a bit of get up and go so I got up and went. So I'm updating my list. I was only able to do some as DS1 made the dinner tonight (HM spicy tomato soup with crusty bread) while I did a tidy up. I love my boy:D

    Kitchen emptied for painting
    Clothes put away
    DD wardrobe emptied of stuff that is too small
    DS2 wardrobe as above

    First job tomorrow is packing all kitchen stuff away and washing down the wood work with sugar soap so that OH can do the painting when he gets home. Oh and I need to find some not too girly pink paint for the feature wall ( I was about to ask OH if there was such a thing but just agreed so it will be as girly as I can find ....mmmm... I wonder if you can buy glitter paint) and some new cheap wall lights the ones I have are a horrid left over from when we moved here.


    Pigpen I love you ... squash her in a box, fantastic!:rotfl::rotfl:

    Not bad - have another reasonably busy day tomorrow. Trouble is, not doing much takes what little energy I have and doesnt leave a lot for flying. Still, onwards and upwards. Tomorrow is MIL day - and sadly she is toxic - so she really saps the will to live anyway!

    So pleased that your shadow is well on the mend froddington - that must be such a relief.

    Ishtar, sorry to hear about your mums diagnosis, but at least it would appear that it can be contained and treated. I hope that they can arrange the treatment soon, and hope that her lymph nodes are clear. Your support will be so good for her. XXXXXXXXXXXXX

    Grrr to all those still waiting for their school allocations, and brilliant news for all those who got their school of choice.

    Happy birthdays, well dones and commiserations as appropriate - have a good day everyone - lilo

    Morning All

    DD is being rude and uncooperative this morning so not a good start to the day!

    So far this morning I've done a HHI, unloaded the WM and sorted the freezer as I needed mince out for tonight so thought I may as well get that job done at the same time.

    Good morning everyone :beer:

    Soappie, what are you doing in a field :cool:

    Please can I have posi-vibes for DS and his maths GCSE :A I have a meeting with my manager this morning. We get on well, but I have some "issues" to discuss, so I'm predicting we fall out, so posi-vibes for that, too, please :)

    Cycling to work, today, and then it's a 6-day weekend :j:j:j

    Happy birthdays to Rose and Kaz
