    MissA~~ is sounding all grown up, what with grown up bed room, new big school and confirmation practise as well, years are running on! Glad they are both doing well in school.

    They are both growing so fast, anyone would think I had put them in bags of compost :rotfl:

    Less stuff, more life, love, laughter and cats!
    Even if I'm on the shopping threads, it doesn't mean I'm buying! Sometimes it's good to just look and then hit the CLOSE button!

    Evening all,

    Before the school runs and after Ds1 opening his presents i managed to

    Make beds
    Collect laundry
    Wm x 1
    Td x 1
    Feed rabbits & let them out

    Then i spent until almost 3pm with my Sister's and Nan who's come down to stay for a fortnight with one of them. We introduced Nan to the joys of Charity shops.:D

    Straight after school the boys got changed and we went to KFC ( Ds1's choice i would have splashed out a bit more ). Ds2 fell asleep on the way home and i had to carry him in.

    Then i

    Washed up
    S & S Kitchen
    Fed rabbits again & put them to bed

    We tried to wake Ds2 to do the cake but he wasn't having any of it. When he eventually woke up he started crying saying he felt sick. :eek: Thankfully he wasn't sick and he's now sleeping in my bed ( i'm hoping he's not sick in my bed ).

    So i haven't done an awful lot of flying today but i've not really had chance to.
