    Apart from that i've done !!!!!! all, all week. *prepares for flying fluffy mule and ducks for cover*

    Sandy i've been thinking of you all week, i hope your ok.
    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.

    WM is on a hot wash with cleaning cloths & tea towels in it. Should have been done ages ago, but builders' stuff was in front of the cupboard with the washing powder in it! Rest of laundry is sorted and ready to start processing (once the upstairs floors are washed). Need to get the cupcakes made and buttercream made up and dyed blue (I'm wondering about blue sponge for the cupcakes too :D), ready to assemble in the morning. Then might run the hoover round to get rid of the worst of the dust and grit.

    Popped back on before bed to see if any news from Sandy - hope you're OK love.

    Ballet and disco went well - DD loved it, DS was happy with me and when he did venture onto the dance floor at the disco a boy knocked him over accidentally so that was that. Got kids to bed and I've decluttered a cream egg - very nice it was too - and have done over half of 1 typing job.

    Really ought to tidy kitchen but CBA - it can wait til tomorrow (hope Piggers doesn't get me with her flying mule). Got towels / dishcloths / teatowels etc in to go in hot wash 1st thing - can't believe how quickly we get through towels! Apart from that nothing much going on as my foot is giving me real jip and it hurts to walk but I realise it's nothing up to what a lot of you go through every day so have to get over it won't I!

    Right, early night for me - no DH to wake me up when he comes up to bed later as he's away :T, let's just hope the kids sleep on after late night tonight and I can get a lie-in.
