    Morning ll

    Well had a lovely evening. BF came round and didn't go home until 1am! I had to kick him out in the end.

    Living room looking tidy (well as tidy as it does during the six week holiday) so will focus on the kitchen today. My niece helped the children to tidy their bedrooms last night so they look ok too:D

    Toots-thinking of you
    Pigpen-positive vibes for you as I know you don't o hugs.

    One load of washing done and on the line, one child rescued from nightmare, another tucked up in MY bed with OH as he has a temp - hence why I'm up and have been for a couple of hours.

    I'm up just about. Tiler rang last night at 9.30 and he's coming today at 12 to tile the kitchen. :D:D So i decided bed early and i'll sort the kitchen before the blind man comes at 8. Then i didn't sleep well because i kept thinking i was gonna sleep in. (rolley eyes)

    So i need to.

    1) empty DW
    2) clear worktop
    3) take rubbish out
    4) clear window sil
    5) move computer to back hall
    6) clear and clean the table
    7) clean window
    8) get dressed
    9) sort money
    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.

    It took me until the evening, but I finally found my sittingroom again! Well there are still toys and videos about for DGD, but all neatly piled now. The mantlepeace has regained its status as have the windowsills and the top of the bookcase.! Certain amount of spiders made homeless. Alas that wont last long. But I am proud that I actually managed to do it. And so far this morning with no ill effects to my arm/shoulder etc. Yipee.
    I am out this morning, to take DGD to Nursery, then I have my hairdone in Town, and use the morning for me time.
    This afternoon, I must finish the pjamas I started the other day.
    Clear away the dining table after my sewing so we can eat at it tonight.
    Shop for pasta, rice and potatoes - all out.
    Make 5 items for the market stall (well thats my target)
    As well as do todays jobs. (Which I dont dare look at yet, incase it scares me off!).
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    Hopefully get some flying done tomorrow and will try and get hold of my friend who's hubby is really good with computers just hoping they aren't on holiday as I got a feeling they are:(
    Will catch up with flying tomorrow.
    If you don't get hold of your friend pop over to the Techie Forum and see if they can help you.
    There are some very helpful bods there and they really don't mind questions from extremely non-techie people.

    she's a basement cat but you can see tabby evidence really (in the sunshine) so not pure black IYSWIM

    Thats the same as my mog, he looks pure basement from a distance but up close he has feint tabby markings underneath.
