    Lovely time had in the garden

    Freecycler came to collect some plants
    Shared some plants to a neighbour (and went and saw her back garden which I had never seen and was lovely)

    Just having a cuppa and then HH flying before I start dinner.

    Hellyboo > don't you just love getting something for free! Hope you enjoy it xx

    Wornoutmum and Kazw - thank you for your comments. I popped in to see the teacher and she was fab. She's going to move my son and also told him to tell her if there was a problem in future. She told him she knows he wants to work so will listen to him if he says there's a problem. Glad I went in now...I've got a bit of a thing about going in over small stuff as I know the teachers are inundated with people complaining all the time. Mind you, it's probably better to sort it out before it becomes big stuff. Thanks again.

    I've decluttered a bowl of cous cous and sorted some more washing. No washing left to do... just ironing and that's DH's job. Will quickly make dinner and then put 100 things away - amazing how quick it is to find 100 things and makes a difference too xx

    Dinner nearly ready, DD still at homework, boys out playing football, hubby away with PIL. WM on again and dry clothes folded.

    I decided to phone sparkey and he should be here thursday/friday night so i really need to keep on top of the kitchen this week as he could land anytime. :rotfl:
    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.

  • Afternoon!

    [looks at list, shrugs and chucks it behind heap of packing crates and bubble wrap].

    After moving things all yesterday, I now have the WM and DW plumbed in (and not leaking :)). I therefore have decluttered 5 loads of washing, dried them for free in my lovely little garden :D, witnessed my little scaredy cat being the bravest one of all (out of 3, she came out to see me doing the washing when the other 2 aren't even out from under my bed yet) and got a spare set of keys cut.

    Quite frankly, there is so much to do, I have no idea where to start, so I'm just going to dot-to-dot until Christmas!

    Hope everyone's OK. xxx

    I love it when a plan works..DS needed to go to town to get his GF a birthday gift so was able to slot it in today and use my free parking pass (Mondays & Tuesdays 3pm- 7 pm in the 'Doughnut') which i don't often get to use. Went and got a new tag cut for Jynx (she lost her collar) and remembered, while I was in the Market Hall to pick up bags for my little vacuum cleaner. tea was easy because it was already made. came home, brought washing in, put tea on to reheat and ironed while it did! result - no ironing; no laundry AT ALL (until later) duvet cover ironed and back on the bed. Much gibble shifted:T:T:T:T:T
