Blimey 21 pages already!! Hope everyone is ok I haven't read back yet. I'm in again this week even tho I'm a bit late..again! Thanks to Pigpen, Toots, Soappie and Toots the 3rd!
I have done some bits tonight, cleaned down the kitchen, done the fish tank and baked a loaf. I did mean to cut the grass but it was cold and windy by the time I got home from work so I got as far as having a nosey in the greenhouse to see if any new seeds were up then had a cup of tea instead!!
Then I bought some Skechers tone ups on t'internet...has anyone got any? They sound really good but they're not very mse..tho I did find a free delivery code and 10% cash back thro Quidco so that eased my guilt abit.

Kids decluttered to school although I think they would have been better giving them the week off as they are off tomorrow and back on Fri????????
I REALLY need to do something in my bedroom. So as OH has not fixed the chest of drawers yet I'm just going to put all his clothes in bin bags and sort through mine and DD's stuff and maybe he'll sort the drawers when he realises that I'm not going to ask someone else to do it;) I'm still not sleeping in there it's a hovel. I woke up this morning with a sore neck not sure if that was sleeping on the couch or my gardening yesterday.
Mr Mac is in the local paper. The kids entered him into the pets comp so lets hope he wins something.

Morning Flyers,
Man I wish my dh wasn't away this week.
I was up at 6.00am feeding the pigs and chickens, before I started all the whole 'kids to school' routine. My dd13 has Downs and can be a challenge in the morning to say the least. Dh not being here has been a bit difficult for her to deal with bless her.
Annnnnnnyway, got them to school, did my dailies, prepped dinner for tonight, left my Dad in charge, (he visiting - making me a chicken tractor and re-fencing the pig pen - 78 years old, what a star)
Now I'm at my desk about to start my day job...
This Superwoman lark is way over rated :rotfl:
Sooo, here's my plan for the day:
Fly trough the Master Bedroom and Landing, doing a basic level one. I did a major level 3 clean up last week, and minus dh, that room looks immaculate.
Extras:
HHC - is my box of paper work. BIG sort out there.
Pot on my seed tomatoes
That's the extent of my ambition today!

Got kids to school/nursery, emptied DW, hung up wet washing and done all the beds so made a good start. Will walk the dog when I get back from town.
Just about to go MSing in town (posh places too so not wearing my normal jeans and T-shirt so feel weird!!) Any spare good luck vibes would be much appreciated.
