    Quick change of plan here. Weather now grey, cold and windy, so I checked the forecast: light showers followed by heavy rain. No gardening here, then.

    Today I will:
    do dailies (laundry x3?)
    do school stuff
    make a start on LR list
    do HW with DS2

    DH has a bowles match at tea-time and DS1 is going out for a meal with friends later, so the whole day is looking a bit fluid. Any change in the weather and I'll be outside, tidying. Must also check train times for work tomorrow. I think I've mentioned that I hate not having the car...:mad:

    Have managed to empty TD, fold clothes and pair socks - 8 odd ones out of 1 load 1.gif, emptied WM and reloaded and polished off my breakfast.

    DD is just up and DS is awake. Need to shower and dress now and hope I brought all the clothes down that I need as DH is now sleeping after another long night shift.

    Right shower!

    Morning all

    I've taken the washing off the maiden
    cleaned the wm filter - as there was a puddle on the floor but the filter was fine.

    Blustery here with blue sky one minute and black clouds the next so I'll start the washing on the line and see how it goes.

    My brother gets his results on Monday but so far its looking like they got most if not all the Tumour out and it is most likely benign....My older brother text earlier to let me know

    I dont think my mum is speaking to me as we havent been to visit....OH on tour tomorrow for 5 days...we had to go shopping and OH needed to sleep as off early tomorrow...oh well she will come round..........

    Great news I hope for your brother. My mum isn't speaking to me either for the same reason but like yours she'll come round.
    The cheapest breast pads in there were £4, which I thought was dear, but there again I haven't bought any for 19 years!

    I found the washables much better in terms of cash and use. Easy to wash out in the sink and pop on a radiator. Disposables used to turn to wet screwed up tissues in my bra.

    PenPen hope you are ok and getting some time in the garden.

    Going to sort the files of A Level course work I found into the loft (into next doors recycling bin I expect)

    Then have a shower and take DS2&3 to town for new trainers
