    Morning.

    MacBook Power adapter has packed up (should be able to get a replacement for free, but I wouldn't count on it) so will be going off radar very soon.

    DD looks positively green, so has a day off school. First one since 2009.

    Going to scream in an minute. Everything seems to be self destructing at the same time.

    Oh well, cat neeeeeeeeeeeds 2nd breakfast, she's staaaaaaaaaarrving (so she says). And then off to the lists.


    Love n hugs to all!
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    Morning all,
    Just back from the opticians and school run so having a coffee and doing some surveys and then will be HHing my way through the day. The little man is napping so hoping he has another good one today. I really want to get the kitchen floor scrubbed so need to be child free and a chance to be ruthless in the playroom would also be great
