    I used to dream of being able to use the loo without two small people following me in :rotfl:

    Or to eat hot food and drink cups of tea/coffee before they are lukewarm. :D

    Plan for today:
    Phone dentist first thing.
    Flying this morning - several QHC (these really work for me, LameWolf) in various rooms around the house. If I manage two in each room, that's 3 hours worth and I should see a difference.
    DS2 has developmental assessment at our GP's surgery at 2.30 this afternoon.
    Hair appointment at 5.30 - must check if DS1 will be around to look after his brother - if not, will have to phone MIL.
    Must also confirm arrangements for DS2 next week (I'm back at school, but he isn't) and do food shopping. And I need a present/card for friend's birthday on Monday.

    I may well need to add to this later on - have the feeling I've forgotten something. Breakfast and another cuppa first, then I'll start in the kitchen. Hope everyone has a good day. Good outcome vibes for L-L and restful ones for toots.

    Morning all. Cracking the flags here again in Yorkshire. Unfortunately that means the pollen count is off the scale.
    We had a lovely day at the river yesterday. We took a picnic for my sister's birthday. Managed to give the bathroom a good blitz before we went, but the rest of the house it a pit.

    Morning All

    Looks like its going to be a nice day here again, far too nice to be stuck inside when I finish work. :D

    I have the docs this morning to review meds and see how am getting on, I hate going to the docs :o

    I have promised myself that if I get a specific piece of work finished I can reward myself with a bit of time in the garden. So it's going to be a day of bribing myself to get stuff done!
