    *runs in with paint brush*

    I've finished the first coat and i didn't break the roller :j:j:rotfl:

    *runs out with scrubbing brush*

    Need to tidy the kitchen :D
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Lamewolf: - so your like me then the black sheep of the whole lot. Hope it gets better for you though. Glad to see your still here and posting :D
    The only people i see within my family is my sister, brother, bio-mum and grandad.Everything i tend to keep away from. They just poison most of the time.I just couldn't take her shouting at the kids for no reason other than she was tired. She then accused me of dragging and abusing her kids, These are the nieces i see maybe once a month and always cry for me and scream that they want to come and live with me as they sick of mum hitting and shouting at them.The poor kids.
    No doubt we'll end up talking by next week as she'll want something from me.

    List wise if its gone its done! Not doing extras as i have far too much general cleaning to do.

    We had a lovely picnic and play in park, ended up just going to the local one. We sat and ate ice cream, i read my book while boys played with they new friends. It was really nice and relaxing.

    So now the boys are chilling in front of the tv, need to change our beds and replace the linen. Bring the clothes in and put them away.

    Back on in a bit x

    Playhouse floor swept and windows wiped. DS2 and self are fed and watered, and he's about to get in the bath. I don't think I'll do anything else outside tonight, other than tidy up and water plants, so the toys will have to wait. I've done 2 more lots of washing today, and 2 beds still need making up with clean bedding before bedtime. At least the mattresses should be well aired... and maybe I feel better tomorrow.

    This really isn't like me. I can procrastinate with the best of them, but to feel so washed out over a half-term with nice weather is unusual. I've made an effort to drink more water over the last couple of days and thought that would help. :(

    Can I ask a question of all gardening flyladies? DS2's playhouse has 3 wooden window boxes, and I can't find plastic containers small enough to fit. What would be the best way to plant in them? I was thinking of a plastic liner, i.e. a black sack cut up, with a few holes for drainage. I'm off to run a bath and do some watering. x
