    Gardens all mowed now trhank goodness, why does it get so long so quick?
    Food shop done this morning so house full of goodies. :D
    Plan now is to catch up on lists.
    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.

    Ooh poohbear - how fab :) I am excited because our dogs keep eating our apples so we have never had any for ourselves before but last week our furry friends were in boarding kennels while we were on honeymoon - I noticed the apples earlier, they have had chance to grow before they were eaten by our mischievous mutts,lol!

    Onestep-Hope I wasn't too horrible at school:A

    couldn't possibly comment on a public forum ;);):rotfl::rotfl:wait til Saturday tho..:D

    Actually it's shocking how little I remember from school; I think I must have blanked it out in a kind of post traumatic stress thing :cool::cool:;)

    Level 1s and a little bit of level 3 accomplished from today's list. So that's a bonus then :D

    Serena: well done to your (non-drunk) children!!
    Kezlou: hugs, & positive vibes

    LameWolf I am not very impressed at the thought of you standing on the bed dusting:eek::eek::eek: I hope DH was in the house at the time but i suspect not!!!! naughty wolfy!!!! did the full moon go to your head! (((hugs))) you be careful in future!!!!
    Ummmm..... no, Mr LW was at work, I'm afraid. Not so much the Full Moon going to my head I reckon, as me trying to stay mega-busy as I have to visit the Doctor at 07:10 tomorrow morning, and I'm s-s-s-c-c-ared!!!!! Trying to keep my mind occupied with other things iyswim. It's "only" a meds review, but I have a real and abiding fear of doctors.:(
