    I never said I was going anywhere.. i just thought it might be helpful to have a couple of days lists as it is holidays and little helpers aare home.. thought you might get a few extra days off to spend doing stuff you want to do instead of spending half your day cleaning!

    Evening!

    Today I have decluttered 4 little furries and moved the other 5 girls into a new huge cage, and introduced the remaining baby boy to his dad and big brother so they can live in the other huge cage. All going well so far!

    I have also been into school and managed to do a couple of hours worth of paper work. May pop in tomorrow to do a bit more. Can't set the classroom up until next week though as it's all being deep cleaned.

    Bits and bobs from my list achieved too.

    Oh, and I have a ticket to see England at Wembley in 2 weeks time!

    boddy - Happy Birthday!

    L-L - hello! Let me know if you fancy a catch up soon. And say hi to Diva please x

    FFP - brilliant! well done you!

    TAG - well done!

    SS - hello and hugs x

    pigpen - still sending positive vibes your way x

    Any update on Toots? Love, hugs and prayers heading her way x

    Off to update list ..................

    Mum on a mission, Thanks for joining me!

    I hope you did as well as I did - I'm all in a lather now!

    Sorry - got rather distracted by various phone calls after.

    Kitchen S & S'd, dinner prepped & cooked, washing in, next lots rounded up, diaries compared with DH, ironed ironing pile put away, and tomorrow's day camp bits needed sorted out.

    Moam
    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.
