Morning all!:D
Thanks to the 3 Amigos for keeping the thread going.
Good luck to all awaiting school placement letters....I know how stressful it can be!
Well DS went out last night with some stern warnings ringing in his ears about repeats of a couple of weeks ago!:(:(
He phoned us to say he had left his key at home and would spend the night at his mate's house! Don't know whether to be glad that I got a good nights sleep or sad that i can't hoover and disturb him today! First thing i did when i got up was to check that there were no phone messages waiting......
We had roast lamb last night and it was yummy! Leftovers will be hitting the slow cooker soon to bubble away till teatime!
OH got more decorating done at the weekend - now need to choose a new gasfire then we can finish off and replace the GROTTY carpet!:j
Hugs to Sandy - and everyone else who needs them.:jFlylady and proud of it:j0 -
Thanks to the usual suspects for keeping us going!
I'm in again this week, but not sure how much I will be achieving...all depends on what we hear today about mum's illness.
However, and not to be flippant, in times of great stress I tend to clean, clean, clean, so maybe the house will be a bit less dusty and smudgy by the end of today....
Take care all
D
