    Runs to catch up with MissH and PenPen....
    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.

    inset day for DD2 so I have her working for her keep lol.. she is finding floors!

    Tiddles deposited back at school after we had a trip to podiatry to replace her toe moulds.. we have 2 sets because the nice man said he would.. when I was cheeky enough to ask for spares!

    OH had appt at 12.. and I need to get the wheels for the pushchair sorted.. so must walk RIGHT to the end of the street.. miles and miles it is!! .. Might ask him to drop me off actually on his way out so I just have to waddle back... ;)

    I am also hoping to get these 2 lots of DLA forms to my mother to have her write her speil.

    I need to double and triple check what is in hospital bags... Leeds is a bit far to come back and pick up something stupid I have forgotten! I'm sure there are shops in Leeds but it is easier to not need to go to them!

    Kitchen needs a once over too..

    OH has the privet to attack and the grass to mince once he gets back.. or tomorrow.. my bush keeps attacking people so desperately needs to be done!

    Dusty, autumn plans for the garden :mad: Yikes I am still planning my garden for the summer..lol. Oh wait it's an ongoing plan..doh!!!

    I've given up on my summer plans, soil too dry, hence why I'm thinking to autumn;)

    I was going out this morning to get some bits but lovely neighbour has come over to start decorating my bays windows so I've had to do some emergency pruning to make space.

    I'll be leaving my blinds down too whilst he is doing them.

    Off to make some bread and cordial and then I think I'll do the bathroom and shower room today as they so need it.
