    DS is back (can't drive after 11pm - insurance!) OH has phoned, thumb is definitely broken and the wait will be a long one - they may have to keep him in overnight!

    On the plus side - I did get to see the King's Speech tonight and it was BRILLIANT!!!!!

    Right now I need to go and do battle with the ironing board covers (I have 4 on mine because I was sick of the mesh pattern showing up on clothing as I ironed) which I took off to wash last night :eek:

    Agreed cold water for bloody stuff, never warm. That trick I was shown on a caravan site by a lady who had more children than pigpen :D works very well. I've never had to resort to bleach since.

    Well that's DSs asleep. DS2s birthday tomorrow and he seems to be fine now so I think I'll have to make him go to school. He's at cubs tomorrow night so we've planned a birthday on Sunday. My week off to get things done has been so hindered I need to get him to school really so I can crack on with it as I feel guilty if I do it when he is home.

    Mumof2 thanks, me too. He's well known for it now

    Tomorrows main jobs apart from trying my best on PPs list

    Invoice for funding
    SORN the other car
    Get some soup pots
    Put gibble into garage
    All bins out after a quick 2 bin bag (once recycling one parp) run round the house
    Fold 6 loads of clean/dry laundry, hang what needed

    Book travel lodge or holiday inn for the trip to Ayr (opticians) .... Holiday inn is 12 more but includes buffet style breakfast.... Think a large cooked breakfast out each would cost much more, can't decide what to do.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Morning All

    Jerry still has an upset stomach - I am so glad that DH got up first this morning! His bed's in the wash for the second time as it didn't come clean the first time. DS off school again today so I'm going to ask my mum if she'll come down here and have him instead of at their house so she can keep letting Jerry out.

    Have a good day all
    Hugs

    I didn't see the source of the injury - it was wrapped in a blood covered towel. They kept him in so I guess i'll find out later!
