    Morning :wave:

    sounds like a few (((hugs))) are needed out in flylady land.

    DS was supposed to be on a college trip to York Uni today which would have given me 8-5 with the house all to myself.......not happening, he woke up, said he felt ill, and has gone back to bed. Heyho....the best laid plans of mice and men....but once again the fred has put things into perspective.

    Thankyou invisible for making me :rotfl::rotfl:with your carrots and your mules...loving it.

    Right I'm going to wash the pots and load the WM......see you later

    Yaaaaa for roofer, crafty.
    Hellyboo, lovely cake.

    Remind's me to ring sparky and see if i can get the kitchen finished.

    Clean clothes all folded and put away, wm back on again. Now to make a start on the kitchen.
    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.

    Right, I said I'd be back today and I am so maybe things are looking up! I need to have a tidy of the living room as it looks as though a whirlwind has gone through the place, and I have lots of sticky marks to clean of the leather settee (DD2 is potty training and being bribed with sweeties!). DD1 at school, DD2 at nursery until 12ish and DS1 (4months) is asleep - best crack on then. Anyone joining me for a HHC at 10am??

    Good morning everyone :)
    And lots of hugs to those who need them. Well, I stayed up too late with DH last night blethering, so I achieved a lie in until 10. That doesn't happen often. (could have been the extra glass of red!)

    Vanilla- Well done for handling a difficult situation. Makes you wonder if they only brought it up because you were bringing something up with them, still, at least you know now and you can act on it. x
    Crafty- Yay, Roofer!
    Mumto5- Poor lass. Hope you feel better soon. So many horrible bugs going around just now. Have had to send DS2 off to school with raging sore throat as he was off most of last week with something else and missed out on a shedload of work. Guilt guilt guilt.
