  • We're all up, and sort of going.....

    Meeting a possible new tutor for DS this morning, and then must do some flying (or rather I'll direct operations) - washing being the most urgent as underwear is in short supply :o

    Library trip later - all my requests (including The Secret) have come in at once, so lots of reading planned for half term whilst waiting/watching/encouraging DS in his varied activities this week.

    laters me dears

    Moam
    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    JYnx update

    she is fine! Swelling gone, running aroundon all fours...

    goodness knows what it was. DD and I have checked her leg over - no lumps, no reaction to being touched. She was using her scratch post at 5 am with both front paws.

    So hi ho hi ho it's down the brook I go!

  • Morning Ladies (and gents), Im afraid ive let the flying front slip the past few days. so tonight when i get in from work im redoing the kitchen, dishes, sides and floor, then the living room and hall and a load or two of washing and IRONING during xfactor. Im almost caught up on the ironing without needing to send it out. Its helping that my ironing pile is in the hall rather than the spare room so i can see it so i have to do it.

    Have a costco/ikea/metrocentre run to do tomorrow so i need to get downstairs presentable this evening otherwise it will all get on top of me next week.
