Just popping in to pick up lists. Haven't done much this week as plan was to get house shipshape today but have had an awful night with both DS and DD and right now am feeling very tired, lazy and unmotivated!

Have just emailed school - missed parents evening due to funeral last year and 3 subject teachers had emailed me - I've just prodded the Head of 6th form over the 4th subject - I do need to know how she's doing.

Just a thought - Pigpen - talk of godarents - have you resolved the vicar/which church issue yet?

I colour code washing, black, grey, green, blue, red, white, not quite white, pale and pink. summer is great.. washed, on line to dry, folded and away.

Phew I'm glad that I'm not the only one that colour codes the washing.. DH looks at me as if I've committed a crime when I sort the washing out, he is one of these that would just bung it all in and see..lol. He does wonder why it takes me so long to clear the basket sometimes - but I can't wash a white with coloured edging in with pure whites.. Although he has commented on how everything is still white after so long..or his colours are still nice and bright etc.. I just smile sweetly at him

Anyway just popped in to wish Greenbee a happy birthday and give her this...

Am out all day today at my last STEPPS group, bit sad but thankfully we have been given the funding to do the follow up group, for a year, which is STAIRWAYS.. Although it will be draining as it's for a whole year..eeks!!

Hugs and love to everyone, especially Toots and LL xx
