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.0 -
