    Right, only thing thats done thats on the list, is more by default really, and thats the kids room! (inspection from foster team today). Thats all done.
    Kitchen surfaces, and kitchen floor. (Entrance to house is through the kitchen, first impressions etc.)
    The sitting room needs a hoover, but thats broken! So its a sweep later when DGD gets some rest.
    Have been ill since Tuesday, so not easy to do.
    Better next week I hope?
    Still have some time to do it, today. (If any energy.)
    Been to collect DS from his sisters, 8.30 this morning.
    Social Meeting 10.00 - 11.30
    Cup of tea and birthday cake, 11.30 - NOW

    Later:- to do. Take DS back to Towcester for 1pm
    Back, Put DGD to bed for an hour, (fingers crossed) Sewing time.

    so not going to succeed am I???
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    Sun is shining and I really should be in the garden (as in working in it - not sitting in it)

    Just want to wish a good holiday to all those who seem to be temporarily leaving us - sounds as if it's going to be very quiet in here.

    Sew nametapes in DD's new shirts for September (which have been delivered, and fit - I can STILL remember the agony of traipsing round the shops trying to find some LAST year and now it's done thanks to THE POWER OF THE FLYLADIES and :money:because I got free delivery and cashback)

    I too have much to thank tPotF for - yesterday on the way home from school, bump into DD1 who says; 'You know how we were having a party on the beach for **** going away, and it's raining, can everyone come to our house?' 2 seconds to consider ... have lists been done? ... answer; 'yes' - 10 minutes later they all start arriving :eek:, 4 and a half hours later they all go home proclaiming me 'Super Mum' - Result :D - thanks Ladies (and gent(s)).

    Now for the mess :eek:
