    Here we go again.

    Morning lovley ladies

    Winchesea and Hope Hope your respective tests aren't to unpleasant.

    Vanilla Sending you supporting vibes for keeping your DH steady.

    We went for a long walk yesterday in the forest with the kids. They were cyclying head so DH finally talked to me about last week at work (it's very difficult to talk without little ears hearing). He has been well and truly stitched up. I feel so hurt for him and furious at the pot stirrers:mad:. I can't fight his battles but I can ensure that the house is lovely when he comes home and a delicious nutritious meal is on the table.

    I did the living room yesterday so the list doesn't look too bad

    Hi all. I'm posting stupidly early (for me) today.:D

    I'm in, just for gentle fluttering this week, as Penny's needs come first. She's settled in OK, and is dozing on the sofa as I type.:D

    Many thanks to Flylady Central Command; I'm very glad it's not kitchen day today, Mr LW is w*rking from home, and I have to make moussaka for dins. Between that, the kitchen will be a bomb site!

    Right, I'm going to grab the keys to the mobility buggy and see if Penny would like a trundle out.:o
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Morning everyone. How lovely to see so many of the regulars are still here and get some nice welcomes. I promise i am going to be trying to stick around more now. It seems the thread is moving a lot slower too now than it was so i am sure that will help.

    Terrible nights sleep here thanks to DS1, but i am not letting that put me off even though i am a bit poopered. The eternal question of why do they wet the bed when you have just put on clean sheets. :eek:.


    So, i popped in to find out what we are doing. Glad to see it is the living room as it is that and the new bathroom which will undoubtedly get the closest scrutiny tomorrow. Boy does it need some work.

    I've stripped my bedding and got that and the wet sheets in the washing machine. Next job is to feed and dress the kids, then i guess i had best make a good start on it. Hopefully the kids want to co-operate.

    Have a good one everyone. x

    Morning:hello:
    Nice to see you around.
    I think the thread might speed up once the schools are back.

    Well until our illustrious leader starts throwing fluffy mules again.

    I'm up and away.....:rotfl:
    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.
