Morning all

Really blowy here but showery too so I think I could spend the morning playing the washing okey kokey.

I can't work out if I have a cold or hayfever this morning. The wind is blowing the pollen off the alder trees in the street so it could be that.

DS1 will get his AS geography paper 1 result today so fingers crossed.

Good Morning all, hugs to those who need or want them

*Rant Warning*

Well the house looks like a right tip, I've been up all night trying to keep dogbot downstairs and still, which I dont mind as sleep pattern is reversed at the moment and Im not going to bed til 4/5am (although he did go out in the garden, I though to empty his bowels but no he managed to get the lampshade off and started digging in his fave spot.:mad) So when OH, DD and DS got up this morning I tried to grab an hr or so on the couch and Ive woken to find that they have left the kitchen in a vile state and both living rooms carpets look like the Dog has brought the living room inside and I cant hoover them as he is scared of the hoover.

Fun time in the Wolf's Lair today; plumber blokey has been to service the boiler; we also got him to sort out the water pipes, which were banging horribly every time we ran a bath. He went up in the loft and found that the thingummy-wotsit-doodah had seized up, so that's been replaced and £70 decluttered from my purse.

Virtually zero flying today, as Mr LW is working from home, but I did get a bit ahead yesterday, so the list looks like this at present:

I'll delete the stuff that's done off my Word.doc now, so I can see more easily what's left to do (tomorrow!!):o

I'm also having a bit of a rough time with hot flushes today - no idea why; hopefully it'll pass before we have to go into town later - I have a cheque to pay in, and Mr LW needs a haircut.

DD2 has got a C in her sociology modular exam. I am delighted as she thought she'd get a D or E but she isn't happy!

I guess everyone else has got higher...but she needs to remember that she spent the day before the exam in tears thanks to a so called mate!:mad::mad:

Much ironing done - 2 loads of washing on line and towels in W/M.

Off to work now!
