    A bright and beautiful morning to you all.

    Am in exceptionally good mood today, as I have a day off work!! and its sunny!! Those two things rarely happen at the same time, let alone in March!

    Having a right old OS day today, and hopefully I can knock a few jobs off my lists. I'd best go and make a start.

    have a good day all. x

    Morning all

    Light cloud covering but looks like sun will break through at some point. DH up and off to work at stupid early o'clock. Slept all night again, think I need to get into a routine of going to bed at a set time etc.

    Dinner last night was a "quickie" tea boys had something and toast, DH had fry-up and I had jacket potato, salad and mushroom omlette. Remembered to get the meat out to defrost, so lamb casserole with lots of veggies on the menu for tonight. Need to get a loaf in the BM at some point too.

    Only working until lunchtime today, that's me done for the week, well the paid work anyway, just need to do the unpaid stuff and the work you do coz you love your family and home!! Have all the normal chores to do, so will crack on with them. Have quite a busy weekend, DH working Sat morn, then Rugby for the boys on Sunday morning and off to visit camp site and venue where we are holding a caravan rally and evening dinner later in the year on Sunday afternoon.

    Not much else to say really, keep safe and well everyone, hugs to those that need them.

    :T brood off to school :) and I am sat with a cup of coffee just to give me a caffeine rush and get me going. But it is so nice to have peace and quiet aaaaaaaaaahh!!

    Mummysaver, glad the scan went well. Have you started to think about names?

    BB, hope the dog stops soon. Can you report the dog to enviromental health? You shouldn't have to put up with that.

    Neighbours are taking dog 2 tonight, which will be a shame as I'll miss her, but shes too much to cope with and DS1 is a wee bit over the top with her (autism :( ) but I know that she'll be in a VERY good home.

    there is a lad at DS's school who has an Autism dog. He wears a harness which is strapped to the dog. I am not sure what else they are useful for but interesting to see. Obviously the dog is specially trained for this rather than just tying your child to your existing pet :rotfl:

    Morning my lovelies :D

    Sun is out, left the towels on the line last night so hopefully they will finish off. Off to Forest School with DS and his class this morning so that should be good fun (not to mention the hot chocolate and biccie we all get at the end ;))
    Tea will be a makeshift as I have tap class tonight.
    Will push a duster round this afternoon if I have the energy (not always the case in the afternoon after FS :o).

    Nowt else going on here, livin' on the edge I tell ya!!!

    micheroux - oooh another OS baby, exciting. Hope the scan goes well.

    mummysaver - Feel sorry for your DS and all those females and their hormones ;) :rotfl:

    Hester - I assume the first aid job you did the patient is still living? What more do they want ;) Perhaps next time they are bleeding/choking etc you can wait for someone else to appear.........

    Hugs, spoons and high fives all round. Have a good day OS or not.

    Miechorox hope your scan goes well:)
    Must put on BM - will try wholemeal with a variety of seeds and see how it goes. Fingers crossed

    Looks set to be a lovely spring day so the plan is to get as much washing on the line as possible. I will probably have a good potter round the garden and get it a bit tidy as well.

    Have good days all x

    Morning All,

    HH every time you post about work it reminds me why I got out of education.

    Another beautiful sunny day here too:j am hoping this lasts into the wkend as have about 16 coming for lunch on Sunday and it means we can open the french doors and use the garden which is always easier. Also have my beautiful DGS OScar staying with us on Saturday night, will lose an hour with the clocks going back and he is usually an early bird, will be shattered by Sunday night:D I don't mind though. Mum and dad then go to Perth Australia for 6 wks.

    Today need to eat, shower and get dressed and nip to Home B's DH wants some labels for his seeds and need milk will pop in FF next door.

    Will probably do a quick egg and bacon for tea.

    Am feeling quite excited about our move to Australia next year, have already started making lots of lists and looking at houses on line

    Ok enough waffle have a good day peeps x
