    Haven't done much this morning apart from a load in the WM and TD, decluttering some money on bits for DS1's birthday and eating inordinate amounts - AF has been staying for rather a long time and she is eating me out of house and home it seems... Still lists are looking good and house isn't too shabby either! Have bought DS1 a few birthday presents, the ingredients and icing for his cake, ordered some dinosaur cookie cutters and am about to order some dinosaur fairy cake toppers. OH's parents are staying friday-friday next week :eek: and it's his bday on Sunday but they are off seeing other friends on Monday so I might have a few of Ollie's friends round for a birthday tea, just can't make my mind up!

    Slow progress with the lists. I continued my assault on DS1's bedroom and went through his COD and wardrobe. As I suspected nothing fits as he's grown 6 inches since this time last year. He's 5"10.5' so is 3.5' taller than me and half an inch taller than DH. He was only 16 in July so I think he might make the magical 6 foot mark. I'm going to have to declutter a large amount of money buying clothes with VAT added:cool:. It's funny I always thought DS2 would be the tallest of my boys followed by DS3 with DS1 being the shortest. Time will tell.....

    Going to see my mum tonight as I'm taking DS1 over to meet a friend. They are going to watch The O's. It was her 3rd WA yesterday so I'd better pick up some flowers on the school run.

    Best go and find my raincoat and brolly.....
