    Piggers~ I can alter things around a bit this week, and drive up for a couple of days if that will help.

    If anyone is in touch with her as I notice she says she might not be on line, please tell her this.

    The same with toots, please send her my best wishes.

    Dash and run today as off to London

    Hugs to all

    Morning All

    Happy Birthday to the flykids!

    Piggers - take care and I've already offered to come over so that's 3 offers you've got!

    It's chucking it down here today so that's a good start to the hols! Hoping that the kids will be going to the playscheme for a couple of hours this morning and then I can get some stuff done while they're gone. However when it's raining they're restricted by numbers as everyone has to be inside.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Morning all

    Pigpen - hope you managed to get some sleep. Please accept one (or more) of the offers of help on here. I think that's what you'd tell us if we were in your situation.
    Soappie - would you please give my love to toots when you speak to her next. I hope she is doing well.

    Well, this morning didn't quite go according to plan, as I didn't get up until 7am. Breakfast and cuppa now decluttered and DS2 up. Still working on DS1. Plan for the next hour: iron uniform, find a T-shirt, me and DS2 washed and dressed, make my lunch, potter around if time, go to school. :D Could get used to this. Have a good day, everyone. x

    OK I am going to try harder this week.!
    Still find that life is a bit challenging. So have to take it easier, so this should eventually make my life better.
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    Morning all :hello:
    I've had my cuppa so need to get the kiddies fed (only one up so far). Hubby needs to get up so we can get the cattle, cats, dogs, chickens and rabbit fed.

    First appointment at 11 then 12, 3.30 and 4. I can't see too much flying being done today.

    Best go get everyone up. :D

    Soappie could you please pass on my love to toots.
    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.
    :j :j

    Morning all,
    I'm in this week - last week was a bit of a disaster - dh was in Japan and one of the foreign language students was having a bit of an attitude problem. Dh came back, offered to run him into town yesterday and obviously had a word in his shell like - because a different child came back at 6pm. Dh swears blind he didn't say much - but it was obviously effective!!!!

    Will try and do Mon and Tues this afternoon - at work at the minute - but the downstairs needs it. My own two have gone to Scout camp for the week.

    Pigpen - hope everything is ok with you - thinking of you and Toots. Thank you for doing the lists when everything is so carp with you
