    Morning All

    So far this morning all I've done this morning is some ironing. I'm fast losing my voice - DD asked if I was going to work like that and she asked me what happens if I have to shout - I said I'm not going to shout - she said but what happens if the children are naughty - I said I'll have to throw something at them.:rotfl:

    :bdaycake:Happy Birthday saver-j.

    Hugs to cyclingyorkie and vanilla - hope it gets sorted out soon vanilla.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Morning all.
    Thanks everyone for the hugs, plan is to get my sister in the housing this morning and see what happens.

    Blind man due at 8.30, then it will be away for most of the day. Really need to get the car tax today, then need to leave hubby's shirt back to get sercurity tags off.:mad:

    See you all later..
    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.
    :j :j

    Good Morning everyone, and happy birthday to saver-j. Franby - I think I missed yours yesterday: sorry about that & hope it was good!

    I'm sitting look round my sparkling kitchen with a cold-ish cup of coffee in front of me. Have taken an hour over breakfast: DD is away on a school trip, so not the usual run-around to get me up and going.

    I'm glad it's the living room today, as that's what I was going to do anyway. It is *so* scruffy - the main job is tidying up all the bits and bobs left lying around in DD's packing frenzy. And hitting those spiders hard where it hurts.... :cool:

    Must also do about 3 hours research work today - am falling behind because of half-term etc etc.

    Guess that means I'll have to stand up, then? :rotfl:

    Got to do a few 'dailies': dishwasher, washing, breakfast cleared up, get dressed. Then I'll be back.... Let's say 9:15-10:00 to get shot of all these things...

    MissH

    Argh, just got to work and realised I'd not put a load of washing on before leaving. It's sat in the washing machine and everything :(. Oh well, will have to do it when I return.

    I've got 3 exams and my driving theory test coming up this month, so things are manic. Trying to organise my time well, but often get sidetracked...:o.

    Thanks everyone for the welcomes! Hopefully I'll fit right in! :D
