    Its a blue one, its a blue one:j:j:j
    Am I the last person to twig?


    What is? :p:p:p

    Dinner decluttered.. I need to spend a quick 15 minutes picking up stuff I have flung about in here while 'tidying' today.. I managed to clear enough space for half the cot! which is progress.. and the stuff left is mainly neatly stacked..

    I will then do pics of the stuff for ebay from Tiddles cupboard and I'll be able to list it in my collapsed times tomorrow.. :D

    Right.. chest of drawer clearing shall commence!

    Only flying today is 3 loads of washing including my summer duvet. Managed to tidy away DD's clean clothes but mine are still in a heap on my bedroom floor :o Aiming to do some flying in the morning after (hopefully) a good night sleep.

    Tiddles cupboard swapped and clothes sorted.. I found a few more that no longer fit when transfering to the new cupboard.. poor child will be naked if I don't hurry and sort Moomins cupboard lol

    Her old chest of drawers has been banished to the boys room, until we can get their new ones it will suffice.. it is actually a very nice CoD.

    Can't be faffed to do ebay pics tonight so I'll do them tomorrow and go from there..

    My feet are looking rather puffy tonight.. I have cankles!!!!

    WM and TD on.. and I have even folded a mountain of dry stuff..

    Slightly better in my head this evening. DD2 is still poorly. I've hastily rearranged her care for tomorrow when we are having DS3's party. A wonderful friend is having DD2 on Thursday morning from stupid o'clock. I spoke to my DB about TD as he is nearest to me in contempt for the excuse for a human being. We are going to go do the funeral together and miss the wake afterwards and have our own private celebration of Nan's life.

    Did some (about an 8th) of my ironing.

    Thanks for all the hugs and coping vibes. It really does help:o

    toots - your garden plans, are you up to planting up pots of summer bulbs?
    hI HEX yes I am up to planting of the pots but not the moving of them once they are full!!! and if we get a dry hot summer (please!) then I am not up to carrying watering cans of water - I know I could do it in smaller doses but then get tired walking back and fore!!! I have to say i hadnt really thoughtof summer bulbs - i only think of spring ones - what would you suggest anyway? I am hoping to get someone to help me in the garden. and I suppose depending on what you were thinking of then it might not need to be BIG pots? I have 2 big stoneware planters that have to stay where they are as I cant move them.
    radish youkeep well away from that BF tomorrow - me thinks he mightbe trying to bury you in it:rotfl: hope it goes well
    jinky sounds like a lovely way to spend the day

    ok I am off to bed like a good girl and will read my book.

    I wont be around until about teatime tomorrow.

    hope you all have a good day tomorrow.

    get well soon vibes for Diva and anybody else under the weather.
    Special love and hugs to Lady L

    sleep well all
    love and hugs
    toots xx
    Peace will be mine

    That's brilliant Mumto5 - way to go! Celebrating your Nan's life in your own way given the alternative is an excellent decision. I'm sure she'll be up there looking down on you and approving xxx

    Have you thought about organising an outside tap that you can fit a hose to? If it's not too expensive, go for it gal!
