Thanks Pigpen. I'm hoping mine will be the same!

Freja's bag packed for trip to granny's at the weekend.. yes I am hugely dreading it!!
My bag half packed
OH will do his in about 15 seconds before we walk out the door!

I now need to sort some out for the chimps to take to KH's for their holiday next week.

We got Moomins MRI appointment.. next Tuesday.. this is the third appointment we have been given for next week when the children are on holiday.. we will not have to wait 4-5 weeks for the next appointment to come through.. so I am considering ringing the consultant see if he can chivvy them along.. we were told a 4-6 weeks wait.. in April..

I need to nip off to wool shop for new knitting needles.. I am doing a jumper with owls on for DD1.. and I have 1200k of red aran to knit up for the little 4. and I need some buttons for a couple of cardigans I have already done for Freja.. small fortune being spent in there then! Oh, I need a specific aran pattern as well.. and a new cable needle.. wonder if I can find the pattern online free...

DD2's bedding stripped and in the wash

Children are being set on the back room today.. it is vile!

Kezlou sorry to hear of your loss

Hellyboo sounds like the button has got stuck hope you get it sorted.

DS finally went of to sleep at 4.40 am I was not impressed and am finding it hard to do anything today as so tired. I need to get some of the jobs done on my list and DS's room is a tip so need to do that again:eek: Girls can empty the dishwasher in a minute for me and then that will be another job done:D

HHC anyone?

:rotfl::rotfl:

I didnt get very far with the bossing children about there papers have just turned up so they need to get there paper round done:(

Looks like I am going ot have to do something myself!

Have you managed to balance her Pigpen or are you one hand typing lol - I have been there!

mummyslittleboy and rach, I dont think the button is stuck, you just press down the knob (snigger) that turns up the gas to get the igniter thing to click, and I've tried them all and they seem fine. Also it's only clicking once every couple of minutes, whereas when you press it down it clicks quickly until the gas is lit. My Mum said it might be the battery but it's connected to the mains so it's not that. Oh well, OH can look at it when he gets home if it's still doing it.

Finally persuaded the doctor to give me some colief for Jake. I hope it works, the evenings are horrendous at the moment, poor thing is in agony. Picking it up from the chemist this afternoon, so will have to go out in the rain again. Got really excited as I saw a fairy ring while I was out, seriously wanted to dance in it...

As for flying, seriously CBA. S&S'd kitchen and that's about it. Oh and I guess I've caught up with a relevant phone call as I had a natter to my Mum this morning

Hello, I'm up, have been since 10am .

Made lunch, cut hubby's hair and thats it really.

Kezlou, sorry for the loss of your dear friend, would it help your children if they wrote a little memory book about him, photo's, good times etc to help in their mourning. He sounded like a real special guy. xxxx

Piggers, haven't been round for my Freja cuddle yet as I have a sore throat and have had for 3 days now...until this is completely cleared I'll stay away....so it'll probably be next week hun when I pop round.


Right, off for a shower and get myself doing something productive, slowly.:D

All done for today; I'm exhausted now - I think the visit to the GP at silly o'clock this morning drained me rather. Still, I have a prescription in my handbag to get filled tomorrow, and that's it til I see the rheumy on Sept 7th (not looking forward to that, either).

I'm also trying to get a bit ahead with tomorrow's list; Mr LW is working from home, finishing at 14:30 tomorrow, so I'll be pretty strapped for time, and we have to go into town in the afternoon to collect meds, pay in a cheque, and Mr LW has to visit the optician for an eye test.

I'm rather glad it was bathroom day today; Mr LW coloured my hair for me last night, and there were still a few little red splashes on the tiles/porcelain. Gone now.:D

No flying done here today.

Have taken DS1 to the GPs - now have to take him tomorrow for bloods and x-rays, on top of orhtodentist tomorrow it will be a busy day.

I've made a victoria sandwich, tomato soup and plum and oatmeal maderia cake with homegrown plums and toms.

Friend due here in 5 minutes and then DS3 has a party later.

Hugs to all

Toots - well done on the puzzle completion. DS2&3 finished theirs yesterday (of the eden project domes reflected in water)

Kez - hugs for you all on your loss and I agree with kids honesty is the best policy

Serena hope DS2 recovered well and well done to DD and DS1 how responsible they were.
