    House recluttered wih children.. and 3 letters for various trips for 3 of them!
    2 carriers of carriers and 1 carrier of clothes decluttered to nursery.. FLING! They have been in the hallway a while so it is nice to have that space back!

    I need to pop to the greengrocer at the corner of the street and I simply cannot summon the energy.. I am feeling fat, superhot and a little hormonal.. just hot on its own is a bad sign for me.. I get stroppy and just cry if looked at wrongly.

    Afternoon :)

    Well been busy all day, cashed cheques, took books back, planted some bits. Also got my tv licence sorted out, the man came and confirmed that we have no signal so no licence required:D:j. So i'm sorted for now until june 2011 :money:.
    I had one in my first house that used to attack the vacuum cleaner when it saw it coming, it was that big!!:eek:

    :eek::eek::eek: that's horrible me and spiders just don't get along.

    :rotfl::rotfl:lemanie
    :Tcongrats piggers, what KH your ex is :mad:

    em Jo that was em me with my eldest when we he went to seahouses last week, black heelies (minus the wheel), baggy combat trousers, baggy shirt, hat, skull fleece (he['s 10),while dragging a massive case beside him. To be fair the length of his trousers took up the space in the small case alone :eek:. All the other kids were wearing trackies and trainers, not my boy he had to be different, and that's just how i like it :D. He wanted the ipod but i promptly said no chance, and the school banned them.

    Monday - Kitchen and Dining Room
    Level One

    Level Two
    mop floors
    Level Three

    Extras
    1. Wipe window sills and clean windows in these rooms, and any other glass!
    2. HHI .. bit of a catch up!!
    Just need to do the floors and i'm sorted :D
    Also done about four loads (one still in the WM) of washing, DS2 wee'd the bed so it completely soaked through :(. So they on the line drying/airing.

    well going to get put more dough in the machine.

    I had noticed a couple of cat chewed dead bees strewn about.. then today there were about 10 buzzing about the corner of the house.

    Could they be masonry bees? 10 is not that many, can you see where they are going?

    I don't believe it *said in best Victor Meldrew voice* Just had an email from school saying kids can be collected early tomorrow (at 2.30 instead of 3pm) because of the England match kicking off at 3pm.

    Work finished, just having a cuppa then I need a HHC to get the kitchen finished before dinner - ah dinner that daily question of what shall we have.

    and a Happy Solstice to you too boddy I was remembering it was the longest day but totally fogot that some people celebrate it. Hope your financial things all get sorted this week.
    AnW'sMum, Kassey thats a ridiculous situation - write and complain because that IMHO should not be happening.:mad::mad: never mind the inconvenience re collecting children etc why on earth should a football match take precedence over education.
    voice of reason hello! its amazing when you find yourself doing little extras like that - yes things are sticking and changing for the better - well done!
    Eltee12 welcome back - I will add you back on shortly -BTW we are not doing stars just now.

    having a bit of frustration with my internet connection so dont worry if I seem to be missing as I am not really!

    this morning I dead headed my peonies and lupins and other bits
    did the recycling
    made a couple of phone calls
    watered the garden
    and my dailies

    after lunch I got changed and while i was waiting for the transport for my appointment i took my shredder apart - cant fix it so will have to replace it on wednesday.:(

    they came early for me and I got taken very quickly - had a CT scan - had a breathless dizzy turn after it - had to wait 30 mins to get picked up so a bit of a wasted afternoon (time wise that is)

    anyways back to work and will go organise tea before i do anything else
    toots xx
    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder
    Live each day as if its your last

    Watch one. If it heads towards the brick and goes into a single hole in the mortar (or brick) or into a single hole in the soil then it is a solitary bee and will be fine and not cause a nuisance. If there are lots of them going into one area (say into a hole in a tree then they could be building a nest. A little job for a child:) to to watch them.

    Need to pay a quick bill and then move into action.

    Hi all,

    We've been to sports day, DS2 came 3rd in one race and 4th in the other two bless him. He kept running the wrong way.:cool:

    We've also been to School, it only opened in September so is very new and eco friendly. They collect rainwater to flush the toilets with. Ds2 loved it and didn't want to come home. It really is a lovely school. There was one boy who didn't want to go in. He was screaming his head off and clawing at his Mum. He was fine though after 2 mins in the classroom.

    I'm just having a coffee and then i'll make a start on tea. I'm not sure how much more i'll get done today as i have a massive headache and i'm incredibly tired for some reason.

    There are about 10.. buzzing about under the guttering .. they do keep flying round the corner so Polly is going insane on the boys bedroom window trying to catch them through the glass!!
