    Unintentionally joined in with the last HHC. Have hung another load on the line, and put another load in the WM and also washed out the recycling bin. Now for a quick hoover (landing finally clear) before Lorraine's Big Fat Challenge (channel 4) at 10.45 - I'm hooked, and really want to see that family become healthy again.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Morning all, i've been MIA again. :o

    Kids have been at a summer club most of this week, Rhys has been in this morning for his jabs and he's not impressed with me or the doctor. He gave the worst dirty look ever. :rotfl:I think he'll remember the place.

    DS1 is a grand ole age of 7 today, yeaaaaa :D:bdaycake:
    School uniform's have now all been got as well as shoes. Just need to get it all out of the bag. 2 weeks today and they go back. :eek: This summer has really flew in.

    Now it's time to get back into the swing of things.
    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
