    Evening all!

    Hi to all the new people. :wave: This is a great place.
    Well done, JoJo. We'll be in Paris in August, too, and going by Eurostar. Can't help with tickets or hotels, though.

    I came home from work earlier than usual and decluttered a couple of parrots and a short nap. Still tired, but better.
    DS1 is still out in the wilderness of the Dales until Wednesday and DH has a bowles match, so it's just me and the little one. We've researched what spider mites/thunder flies feed on and played on education city. Tea made and eaten. Time to read now, followed by supper, and then he'll be off to bed. I'm going to water the plants, stick some music on and attack the kitchen, if my motivation lasts that long. If I can do two hours I'll have a bit of time left to declutter stuff from the sky+.
    Going to make a cuppa before grabbing the reading book. I'll update later.

    Sweep and mop the floors
    Level Two
    Scrub the sink and shine the taps!
    Level Three

    Are you sure there wasn't an item on the list saying vacuum bedroom extremely loudly so that snoring men can't go to sleep when OHs need help?
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    Here have some of mine *chucks spoos in LW's Direction*It seems I fell asleep on the sofa for a couple of hours :eek:and found some more spoons, but please be careful LW we don't want you to over do it:D
    Thanks for that - it must've helped, as I've just been outside with Mr LW to tidy the unruly stuff in the hedge at the back of the garden, and the bin is now out ready for collection tomorrow.:o
