    Toots glad the sun is shining for you; it's trying to shine here so at least the washing is out.

    Pooh great news on DS1 getting some work

    Kids hair all cut, DH in progress and then mine and then off to the dump and Mums. DS3 is desperate to see a show on tv at 5:00 so that gives a good get out clause.

    Afternoon

    Feel like I havent stopped but dont seem to have achieved much.

    Collected up all the washing and what a lot there is this week compared to last and I havent stripped beds yet this week. Finally collected DD's after sieving through what looks like the council tip in her room again.

    Have emptied DW which was laddo's job but he is revising and I needed it doing so I could load the rest of the stuff into it!

    kitchen is looking clearer but do I S/S first or bake cake first ???

    Need to decide what to do for tea too

    huston sorry pet but there wont be stars until after the summer holidays at the earliest! but just you keep posting your lists and that you have done them - its still good to see people doing well.:D

    I wish I hadn't seen that, it gives me plenty of time to get the house ready so I can aim for 5 stars but also loads of time to put it off as well :o

    I am half way through the ironing, have just got the next load from the line. Hoping to finish that soon, do a couple of other bits and then get at least an hour in the garden before OH comes in.

    Afternoon all

    I've done the kitchen today, as usual. Also one load of washing which is already dry and put away, then I cut the back grass and edged it and swept up. In between I cooked dinner and that's all cleared away.

    Also today met DS's girlfriend for the first time :)

    Going to catch up on some television in a minute. I'm tired because I had a really bad night, coughing and nose blowing etc but there doesn't seem to be any point trying to have a nap because I'll just start coughing again.

    Hope everyone's OK, not caught up yet.

    I am s-l-o-w-l-y clearing the gibble. But putting it in permanent places rather than temporary ones IYSWIM...
    and I have put yesterday's ironing away in preparation for todays...
    crosswords finished (union magazine and sunday paper magazine ones) so they are in envelopes ready to post and mags in blue bag heap...
    so I will win them both and be £1100 better off...
