    Morning all, it sure is hot.

    I cycled into town to do some bits straight from school before it got too hot
    He gets it from you - all your time and experience from the Secret Services must have rubbed off :p:D
    :rotfl: that's just what I was thinking

    I've put the towels on the line and will reload the WM in a minute.

    Mainly will be pottering indoors as I'm not great in the heat.

    I need to:

    Take DS2 cricket stuff to school - with suncream!
    S&S bathroom and shower room
    Clean the kitchen sink
    [STRIKE]check online bank accounts[/STRIKE]
    sort cutlery drawer
    Meal plan.
    Do an online shop
    Finish book to return to friend
    [STRIKE]Check library books due date[/STRIKE]

    It's quiet on here, wonder if it is because it is so slow after the revamp. I like the way quotes are in coloured backgrounds. Not sure what the quick reply to this post button is for but I might give it a go.

    Hi all how is everyone today?
    Its lovely and sunny today, how great eh?
    Well my hand is still out of commission. Went to get my dressing changed at the gp's. I was in totally agony last night so turned up at the docs and managed to get in to see them :T.The doctors went ape at how a&e burst my blisters and said they should have left them covered in guaze to burst themselves. Bith gp's reckon i may have scars on my right hand.
    So had some swabs done and one Gp (skin specialist) reckons i had a massive allergic reaction to raspberry plants.Oh took kids to school and made they pack lunches :eek:. Yes shocking i know, yesterday was brill all the boys loved playing so DS1 really enjoyed his birthday.

    The living room is sorted, so just going to sit on my backside doing some paperwork.Can't move my right hand at all without it really hurting. Actually going to take some painkillers now while i remember.

    Monday

    Wow I go to do some ironing and what happens the forums get a make over!

    Just hung the towels out to dry, there is a bit of a breeze to go with the sun so hopefully they won't take too long.

    Going to put the ironing away and catch up on Ashes to Ashes with a cool drink.

    Had quite an easy going HHC in the garden. Wanted to start clearing closest to the house so started by sweeping up under the hedge and trying to get rid of some ivy then remembered that I don't want to pull it all away as at the mo that is all that is stopping next doors dog from coming through to use our garden as a toilet :mad:
    Next I cut the remaining bluebells and they are sitting in the fireplace looking rather nice, not sure about the smell though. Cut the leaves down from the daffodils, crocuses and tulips in the nearest flower bed and it is amazing what just that little bit does. Maybe try for a HHC out in the front this afternoon to do the same out there but we shall see.

    Own list
    Daily HHC in the garden (weather permitting) M

    Daily 5 minute challenge in RoD M
    Chase up insurance claim details
    Deep clean the bathroom (by the end of the week) Todays task-sort out medicine cabinet


    Medicine cabinet next and then lunch

    Wierd but I am enjoying flying again
