Back after 3xHHC! Sorry - I forgot to announce that I was off...! I wanted to have a real go at the bathroom today, so I've done lots on that and skipped the rest - sorry Piggers - but I've done loads of extras....

I have taken the half hour doing something you love on Friday and spent it x 6 today But was well worth it as had a great afternoon! Parents evening tonight so not much more flying can be fit in today, but I did finish the oven when I got in from picking little ones up.

Hope you all enjoy the rest of your day, see you tomorrow x

No chance of catching up on thread so hope you are all well and hugs and wishes to all in need.
Been in school all day and all morning was spent in the hall for the Eisteddfod.....forty odd children, one at a time singing the same song and reciting the same poem....and guess what I now know a new song and a new poem!!!!!

Dinner made for DD, not sure what OH is going to have???

hmmmm suppose I should find a list and do something!!!!
See you in a bit....xx

Hey all

Just having a quick catch up while DS is having his birthday tea with his friend! Macaroni cheese with smoked sausage in and curly fries I love that he is so easily pleased :D:D

My sister tidied up for me today, love her and put my bedding on before I went to work and straightened my room.

I still need to do the bathroom, LO room and hoover through upstairs but should definitely have made a dent in my list!

Toots - thanks for remembering to mention DS he was delighted! Thanks to the others for the birthday wishes - he wants to know when he is getting to meet everyone else now!! :rotfl:

Off to update my list then get LO ready for his disco!

Got DD off to the orthodontist...she does need braces, but in view of assorted rheumatological and collagen based genetic **** ups between her father and myself, he thinks that there could be a problem with her jaw itself, so he is referring her to the paediatric maxi-faci-wotsit guy at the hospital to see if it is OK for him to proceed, or whether it should be handled at the hospital itself. Not perfect, but on the other hand, at least she will get perfect teeth out of it, unlike her sister, who wasn't bad enough to need braces under the NHS, but was bad enough for them to suggest I gave them £3000 to make everything all right.

Got back for 1.20pm, just had enough time to do WM once before went off for bass.

Came back, uninstalled a rubbish windows security update that killed the laptop, practiced some more, did TD and WM again, now putting off getting up for dinner.

DD is now on half term. So she spent about 2 hours in school on her last day of term. A very chirpy person now!
