    Morning all

    Gray and overcast here but not too cool. Hoping to get lots of dot2dotting done here today. Better rally the troops and get them sorted for school first!

    Hi all. Haven't been around for a couple of weeks again. Thank you for all of your messages on the birth of Charlie. I'm not quite sure how to upload a photo on here? He is piling on the weight and doing very well. Very busy here now with 3 little ones! I am trying to get back into routine at the mo - but so tired! I've been trying to avoid the computer a bit, otherwise I get sidetracked and get nothing done! I am going to have a look at the lists and see if I can get Level 1 done at least. Hope everyone is well?

    Right - better get started -
    need to bath baby first!

    Ok that's the last time I water the garden with the hose in the morning, when there is no-one else in the house. I was happily soaking all the pots and veg plot (not the leaves don't worry I was soaking all the roots!) when unbeknown to me I was also watering my kitchen. Absolutely everything has got soaked in the kitchen - the worktops, the cat bowls have an inch of water in, even the glass vases on the side have an inch of water in. The windows got drenched, the bin in the corner of the room got drenched on the lid as did everything else in the vicinity :( Well I've now mopped it all up, dried off the DAB radio that got wet as it was sitting on the windowsill - thankfully it still works. Just got to wash the windows as they got wet too, still at least the plant on the windowsill got a water - or more like a drenching.

    On the upside I have just taken a lovely banana bread out of the oven for my DH. Decided to make this at 6.30am..lol Well it is cool so thought I would take advantage of it..lol

    Think I will have a shower before I do any more damage to the house..lol

    Morning everyone DD1 deposited to school with her friend as they are on a school trip today.

    DW loaded and on kitchen S+S.

    Have finally finished lining the walls in the front room. Need to do one more coat on the ceiling and then I can start painting the walls laminate is now all ripped up we found a newspaper under it from 2001 so it has done quite well as it appeared to be just the cheap laminate that was put down.

    Plan for today is last coat on ceiling then get myself cleaned up to take DS to physio.
    Once we are back from Physio I will start paining the walls:D

    LW Positive healing vibes for your mouth ulcers they are horrible things.

    Hopefully I will catch up with the lists at the weekend

    Morning all,

    Sorry hear about your DS holly, hope he's okay x
    LW - have the ulcers gone down?

    OH decluttered , kids playing upstairs, washing just needs doing, then the kitchens sorted.

    Went out to lunch yesterday with some friends, and guess thanks to me we only had to pay for drinks as i managed to get four vouchers for free food:D. So had a very LSD yesterday, got the cat food, so thats done for the next two weeks at least.

    Better have a quick look at the daily dreads.

    Morning all,

    Well, I finally reemerged from ds2's room after nearly 2 hours, 3 bin bags of rubbish and 6 bags for the charity shop. Bless him he was really ruthless (transferring to big school in September) and quite a lot of soft toys went. He added Stitch to the pile to go (as in Lilo and...) which I queried as he's had him since he was about 4. No, he was definitely going.......until bedtime when he appeared with Stitch in his arms - "Is it ok if I do keep him?".

    We're doing ds1's room this afternoon - I'm hoping it's not quite as bad. Golf this morning and dh and I are out for a blacktie dinner tonight, so I'll fit in a bit of the sitting room where I can:D

    The dog has come back decluttered of a lot of fur - although there's still plenty on the carpet this morning:mad:. Off for a cuppa now.

    Online banking done and a bill paid for this month.:D Debts are now getting alot smaller.

    Kids all in bed except Rhys who had been watered and feed. Hubby is suppose to be going away today but depends if he can be bothered to go.

    My plan is livingroom list and front hall needs cleared badly. Mr T shop booked and get caught up on the washing. Still wet here so no washing line. Need to get all ebay stuff back up into the attic but i will sort a few more things to go on.
    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.
