  • Hi,

    Am I too late to join you lovely ladies this week? Really need some extra motivation as my 'to-do' list seems to grow at a rate directly proportional to my done list! :-s

    Kids all had a great day at school. One new teacher I may need to be keeping an eye on but rest is all positive.

    LL love, spoons and strength for you sweetie

    Mudders guess what I was doing earlier when I thought of you.

    Toots hope you've had a good day

    Pleased with the progress on the flying so far, house looks so much better and I feel so much more positive too.

    Just doing dinner and then I'll do another HH I think.

    I've done very little since my last post. DD now doing her homework, DS2 already sleeping, DS1 watching tv and Rhys is shouting. :rotfl:

    Hubby rang to let me know social services will be in touch with me, i think i might not answer the phone for awhile. :D

    Plan tonight is get everyone to bed and head to bed early myself, i'm so exhaused at the minute so i think it calls for an early night.
    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.

    Tidy shoes, coats and bags .. wash any that need washing. See if there are any that don't fit, past their best or just plain uncomfy which could leave the house! Who needs new coats/boots for winter?
