Valli true, plus they're impatient and they didn't let us know the bus would be half an hour later than originally planned as their support worker had lost his phone. All sorted now and no calls so far so I am assuming it's going ok. One of DS1s friends has gone, they didn't think they would see each other again because of him going to a different school, the way he hugged him was lovely, he's only that close to this little boy. I'm going to give his Mam my number today so they can keep in touch.

Well one bin bag full gone, half a shelf cleared (they are huge shelves!) DW emptied and filled, WM emptied and filled. Getting there. Going to keep having small breaks so I don't frazzle myself out as it's very warm today.

Paint has been got for outside so hubby's doing that. Kids are being chased out to help me with the sticks. Rhys is away for a nap so that should give me a couple of hours.

DW just about to go on and everyone's had there lunch. Dinner in the SC for later. So it should leave it easier for later.

Need to get down to my dad's at some point to get the strimmer fixed.

Hubby got abit of painting done before the rain came on, then we headed down to dad's and the flipping strimmer went on fire.:rotfl: Thankfully they now what there at. He couldn't get it working so he's going to strip it and see what the problem is.

Dinner cooking nicely so i'm gonna empty the DW and put a load in the washing machine.

My mum also gave me carpet yesterday so i'll get it cut to size later and hopefully socks will last abit longer.:rotfl:

Hi All

Hope everyone is ok, haven't read the whole thread. Not managed to get on again though keeping up with the flying, more or less (usually at weekends). DH is going to dyson through tomorrow and I will give the bathroom a clean later. Washing all up to date though. I'm desperate to start washing baby stuff but it's a bit soon really (only 30 weeks today).

Am a bit fed up as have a lot of hip pain, think I probably need a physio referral so have made a Drs appt for Wed. DH has been a bit grupy today as he's bored with us not being able to do anything, understandable but not much fun for me either!
