    Morning all

    Hurt my shoulder turning to talk to DH this morning so very light flying here today. Never mind it will focus me to get the paperwork mound done
    Well.I feel a bit of a failure :(

    We don't fail here hun. It took more than a day for your house to get like it is so it will take more than a day to rectify (see that is some law of science). Little and often wins the day. x
    Today is DD2's French oral for her GCSE - so if anyone can spare some positive vibes at 3pm I would much appreciate it.

    Brings back memories of a year ago when DS1 did his. Hoping all goes well, it is a lovely feeling once it's done.
    Bowing out this week as LO is in hospital again, rushed her in at 1.30 last night. Got home about 4am so just heading back in now, after some coffee.

    Hope everyone is ok:A

    Big hugs for the 3 of you and hoping your LO is home again really soon x

    Triker
    - hope hubbie is ok

    Soappie - good luck with the job, they'd be mad to let you get away

    Rose - Mary was fun wasn't she. Hope your upbeat mood continues
    The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair

    Hello

    Did a bit yesterday but I'm struggling to get motivated. My lovely MIL keeps dropping in and phoning as she's worried about me. My own family don't have a clue they are all too caught up in rows about the will. DH is away and we are playing telephone tennis at the moment. I really need to hear his voice. he really is the best medicine:o.

    I did manage to declutter winter clothes out of DD2 and DS3's wardrobes. I've refilled the space with stored summer clothes. You can tell DD2 is a very longed for daughter she has as many clothes as Suri Cruise. I love NCT nearly new sales and can't resist a pretty dress for £1.50. I flinged the tatty rug in their bedroom and Flinged 3 bags of gibble out. I have sorted 2 bags for freecycle of boys clothes, 3/4 and 4/5. PM me if anyone wants them.

    Bunk beds being delivered some time soon so I need to decorate their room (Pigpen's an inspiration). And arrange to get the carpet cleaned as it's good quality but flithy.

    G & B - Poor LO. I hope she's better soon.

    Triker - Ouch. Hope the swelling subsides soon.

    ANYONE FOR HHC 1030???

    Didn't you know... dogs have owners, cats have STAFF :D (or in the case of Dusty's QV... subjects :p)

    I haven't tried that model of deterrent, but I have two 8 or 9 year old ones that are pretty effective. I'm getting one of those and going to try it, as it claims to be silent. Unfortunately I can hear mine. Then again, I can hear the phone charging and the wireless signal from the router...

    (((hugs))) GnB and LO

    In my HHC I s/s the kitchen. I hung out one load of washing and reloaded the wm. I picked everything up off the living room floor and put it back in it's rightful place. I also got all the gibble out from under the sofas. Hoovered LR and cleaned tv screens in LR and Kitchen. Polished light switches. Swept hall floor. To finish off I had a look at Greenbee's garden - nice work:T
