    Hi all and the Newbies,

    I've comeover all tired and dizzy, I have eaten, so it's not blood sugar. Going to lie down for a while..

    I think that is all I will be doing of the list today as off to pick up the littlies from school then it will be helping with homework, doing dinner and clearing away, making lunches for everyone for the morning, help DS2 and DD tidy their rooms and by then I will probably be ready for bed! I think I am going to do my pile of ironing tonight, though, it is only small, but don't want to start letting it get huge again ;)
    DH told me to keep Weds eve free a couple of days ago, so he has something up his sleeve, but I don't know what.....it will be something good, but I have no clue :think:

    Hi Just popping in to find today's list. I have had a lovely lunch out and feel quite sleepy now. But will do a little flying soon. Mumof2 don't worry about not keeping up with the thread. You concentrate on your little one as he needs you most.

    Piggers yeah, I loathe and detest wearing wrist supports, too – they make my hands sweat!:eek: And I know all about having a man lie on one's hand in bed, albeit unintentionally! Ouchy-ouch!:(

    You have just reminded me that I need to ask for new wrist supports. The dog has chewed both of mine. I think it is the sweatiness he likes :o

  • Just discovered that my sewing class starts next Thursday - which is earlier than I expected - and of course I have done nothing since the last class. Plus the OU course website opens next Wednesday.
    So I need to find my get-up-and-go and boot my bahookie into gear.

    Finish organising study
    Finish sewing currently in progress (not for class)
    Find last term's project and work out what needs doing next.

    Ive jsut hoovered my hallway. Ive lived here 4 and a half years and I have never hoovered it like that! I did all the edges, and got rid of all the cobwebs, I even did the light fitting! In the past (in fact at the weekend!) I have hoovered my whole flat in less time than it has just took me to hoover the hall! It does look good though :-)
