    Happy belated Anniversary Winchelsea.
    Happy belated Birthday nannyboo1.
    Grateful big hugs.

    Glad to hear toots is having a good time.

    It's been so busy here with school plays, sports day etc.

    MIL's uncle dies yesterday and his wife is a slight nutter, she's throwing all her kids out monday morning. I think the youngest is 15. The wife rang MIL this morning ranting that there would be no church service because he was a hateful man and doesn't deserve one. This coming from a woman who is well know to the police, she took a knife to her young daughter and chased her up the road once.:eek:

    Right where is the list to i see what i've done...
    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.

    Hi to all

    Hope everyone is well.

    Had another busy day but didn get as much done as yesterday - mostly becuase it is my room that needs the most work, so of course I have avoided it like the plague all day....

    I need to:

    Sort out all clothes in my room into two piles - Mine and LO
    I need to sort each of those piles into what fits and what doesnt, removing anything along the way which is damage/needing repaired.
    Put away what fits and in good condition.
    Make necessary repairs
    Chuck everything else.

    The pile is currently burying my king size bed!

    I supposed I should really do some of it, but I cant face it..... will have tea instead.

    Right.. hospital bags done as much as I can do without not getting washed or wearing jammies for a few weeks.. so I am off to feed the gremlins that I live with.

    Laundry to hang out.
    WM's to reload.. OH is home now so will carry all the baskets down.
    DW can be emptied and reloaded.
    Pig needs slicing and gravying for tomorrow.

    Doghots to be warmed and fed to the monsters..

    Tiddles back from her party.. with sugar in a bag.

    Motivation seems to be on holiday.. did I mention I got the bloods back today and surprise surprise I am anaemic.. I am sure it never made me feel quite so lethargic when I was having the others.

    MIL's uncle dies yesterday and his wife is a slight nutter...

    Crikey - wonder what a total nutter would be like!

    DS2 and I had a good time in town. I failed in two of my missions: flooring for playhouse and roll of black paper for windows in my classroom to see if it would improve visibility of interactive whiteboard. We got some fruit and veg from the market, paid the cheque in and had a coffee/slush puppy (without DH - missed his lunch hour).

    What does everyone else think about this: Years ago I used to go to Sheffield market in the hour before closing and got lots of reduced fruit and veg. I tried the same in Barnsley today, but there were hardly any bargains around, and most of them not worth bothering with.

    DS2 has eaten, DS1 is still out (probably ignoring my message to come home) and DH is at a club meeting until 8pm, so I'm going to do my tea and prep his. Then some work for school and we are going for a late drink after the match. Plants are already watered, but DS2 needs sticking in the bath.

    The next few weeks should be fun. The kids at school always assume that I support Germany, so they try to wind me up about it and can't understand why I don't bite. I really couldn't care less, in all honesty, even though I quite enjoy watching.

    Enjoy your evening, everyone. x

    Mrs Chaos - when I lived and worked in Lesta city centre 14/15 years ago the late night bargains on the market was simply the rank junk they would bin an hour later and as such not worth the effort. These days I am a convert to the weekly veg box form the lcoal not organic farm which mostly keeps me out of the co-op. We went walking in Hope today and I thought about you and the other local flypeeps.

    Not a huge amount done today other than hard walking, cake and risotto making. The WM is on, the DW has been on once but the house is really rather grim. I really need to get my bimbo backside into order but I need to stop wasting time reading fascinating case law first!
