    Ditto ;)

    Lamewolf - thanks but I really don't want to go back full time, and certainly not in dirty seat of pants manufacturing! I may not have a choice, but I really, really dont want to do it.

    I also said I would never be stupid enough to get married again - five years next week this time, last time my decree absolute went through on the 5th anniversary.

    PP - I hoped I would be jammin too (jammin, jammin), I have some raspberries that either need freezing or jammin, and lots of reduced to 37p a punnet plums that need sorting but after I had cleaned the hens out and scrubbed the grout off the new shower I gave up. I have frozen the rasps, but left the plums out for tomorrow.

    Thank you cyclingyorkie/triker/lamewolf and toots - I am not very good at being good - lw hit the nail on the head, I do far too much on the good days ...............

    Bank have turned my account into a disaster zone, so had to hot foot it into next town this am, all sorted now and at least I collected my glasses after their repair in May! Other than that, shopping all done, Tennis attended (ds) and movement made on the lilo slow down and smell the coffee plan - Tennis is being moved round so that shopping will be done early, and DH and I will get 3 hours much needed couple time WITHOUT my MIL to chill and spend time together, cant wait! We have also decided to scoop up all surplus stuff into the loft tomorrow (upstairs is a hell hole!) which should mean that I can break stuff down into bite size pieces, and actually get everywhere to clean properly. It is so depressing at the moment, everywhere is just stuff. If I can get it out of the way, I can go through it very gradually as time and energy permits, and hopefully reduce those 'its a good day so just go for it' moments.

    I may join you all on getting school uniform ready early - all except shoes. I need to get a couple of extra embroidered polos and jumpers, and 2 pairs of trousers in the next size up - fortunately I buy tops larger, and they last 2 years, so only a couple extra to get each year. Shoes I think I will leave til the last moment - I need plimpsolls, trainers, tennis shoes and school shoes - think Id better start saving! I think I may need more pe kit next year as DS will be a junior, I think they need trackies etc as well - hopefully they will send out an info sheet at some point.

    DD picked cherries today. They're in the fridge until Tuesday, when I'll set DS on to stone them, then Im jammin' again :D

    DS is currently growing by 1cm/week, so I'll be delaying new school shoes until the last possible day ;)

    I'm doing school shoes the next lot of child benefit.. think it is about 3 weeks.. though not sure.. I might be REALLY bad and take them all at the same time lol.. Thankfully I don't have to buy DD1 any this year as she has left school so we will sort her something else she does like and the 2 little ones have prescription boots so they just need trainers for games.. even better that I only have to buy one pair and hey can share them as they are the same size!.. and they don't wear them often enough to warrant having the raise added for Moomin. I should be able to walk to the shoe shop by then.. :p

    Evening all

    Dismal day today weather wise and housework wise. Still oven is clean and one tin cupboard is decluttered.
    Tomorrow is another day and I will do better :)
