    Wednesday ~ Master bedroom
    :j:j:j:jStar please toots:j:j:j:j

    Only one more load of washing and thats it all up to date. Need to sort uniforms out now.

    Where are my manners, happy birthday to your DS dusty.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j

    Yes, happy birthday to dusty's DS

    Dh and I went over to the charity bin over the road with 5 normal and 1 massive carrier bag of clothes :D I now have room for stuff I actually wear! I have also applied for my credit report with 3 different agencies and packaged up a parcel of craft stuff for a friend who will use it.

    DH is probably going to take tomorrow off work, he's not 100% and doesn't want to spread the germs around.

    Next job is to put the sleeping bag and extra duvet in black bags and into the under bed drawer, and put the wm on (which will necessitate me getting into my pjs :)) might also have some toast :) as I am peckish.

    what a day
    up early, pegged out washing, did some marking, DS to football - went to extra time and they ended up losing - shame as apparently the equaliser, given by the ref, should have been disallowed as a foul but hey-ho. we're playing them again next week in the league (well I say we LOL) home; dropped DS off took DD to dance rehearsal dashed to Mr Ms. for meat (now I know how the day is panning - decided on gammon) then fuel and tyre check veg was bought at the market yesterday, put jumpers in wash, had bath having rinsed it after DS's bath, prepped dinner and started gammon boiling; rang DD yes she DID want picking up, went to get her pegged out jumpers, made dinner, brought in washing, washed up, ironed, dried pots PREPPED LUNCH FOR TOMORROW FOR ME (that's a first!) sat down read thread...
    well done walkers!
    Must be spring - the jumpers pegged out this afternoon dried! All washing washed and ironed - and breathe!

    1step - well done :T

    MOAM - I'd like to think I'd have noticed :rotfl:

    pigpen - you've done loads :T

    fedup - you'll have a great time; I've done many trips on my own and am soooo glad I was brave enough the first time. Maybe some of us singles on here should do a few nights away somewhere??? .........

    Hugs and prayers for Toots and L-L

    Time to have some dinner, methinks!

    Happy Birthday Master Dusty.

    Mr LW was very pleased with his star - thanks Toots.:o
