    Matthew cat spent all night sleeping with my MIL :A, with the net result that it is the first time she has slept through since we lost FIL months ago. He is now snoring on the Times after a hard nights snuggling. I think it must be lovely to be a cat. As long as he doesnt think he is sleeping with us tonight :cool:

    Maybe you could hire him out??

    Evening everyone, i've read but can't remember as i'm just so tired.
    Hubby even let me have a little lie in this morning which was great.
    Kids need to go to bed soon, Rhys will some be wanting feed. School uniforms are ready and DS2 got a new school bag (bet the old one shows up now),so need to put them all together.
    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.

    Today I have stripped the bed, aired the room, remade the bed, washed my hair, WM x1 and dried it on the line, been to Mr A and bought food and 2 books :D, made a large batch of Quorn chilli, slept for a couple of hours, vacuumed through, cleaned the bathroom and read some papers.

    Welcome to all newbies

    notso - glad DS3 seems ok

    Re the Meet on 10th April

    I have room for a couple more to stay over if you don't mind airbeds / the sofa (it's very comfy!). It would be lovely to see lots of flypeeps!

    Need to update my list quickly before 8:00 .............
