    Have just spent half an hour thinking I had something wrong with my right eye until I realised I have a huge fingerprint on the lens of my glasses :o

    Anyway, kitchen S&S'd TD and WM on and master bedroom finished apart from the hoovering. I'll drag the hoover up there once I've tackled DS's room, which isn't going to be easy as his toy box has collapsed so need to find a replacement.

    Feeding baby then will get on x

    Just going to get in the bath and have a good old soak!!

    Hello,

    I have been MIA for over a week now.

    It took ages to get over my cold/virus thing and left me with 0% energy.

    I am getting back to normal, for me that is.

    My first task is to sit and have a read through here to see how you are all getting on. Then maybe a touch of gentle flying.

    Loads of hugs for those that need them.

    Sorry to shock you all but I've completed all the lists this week! Yeah!!!!

    Lamewolf - Stripes says 'woof woof slurp *insert stupid grin* woof' - she won't tell me what you said to her!!!

    Had a phone call earlier and I have to get her to Chester for 7am tomorrow morning:eek:. I've emptied my diary and am not just trying to find someone to take DS to school - shouldn't be a problem. I've also been told that we'll get results tomorrow - scary!

    Off to start the first of many school / club runs now.

    Hugs to all xx

    Todays list done (or what I'm going to do from it anyway), just need to S&S living room, while DS1 has his dinner probably as he'll throw a fit if I make him tidy up his cars now, and put the dry washing away. I'm going to hoover all the fluff out of my tumble dryer now as the heater cut out switch is going every 20 minutes even though the filter is clear, so I keep going to the machine thinking stuff's going to be dry but it's been going round in cold air for most of the cycle :mad: I'm sure it's fluff stuck in it that's doing it and it's driving me mad.
