Been up since 6am (and DS2 since 6.15, so he'll be shattered later) - breakfast decluttered, leaflets in DS1's papers, so it's time to get ready to be at the breakfast club by 7.45ish. Hope everyone has a good day. x0 -

Thank you all for your kind words of encouragement!!! I bought a couple of things to remedy my "lack of home" for certain items and feel tonnes better already. Got the husband to hoover the downstairs, I dusted everywhere so really feel on top of it today! Did 3 loads of washing so just need to iron it today and dust & hoover the office. Really love the support from this thread thank you!!!0

Morning everyone, sun shining here this morning.
Dentist after work today. Hopefully there will be no drilling and filling this time.
My fuschias and geraniums have arrived from Thompson and Morgan this morning, so hopefully the weather will hold out until after school and I can get some planting up done.
