    Morning All

    Didn't get on last night as it was just manic. I'm hoping to have an hour kidfree this evening while DS is having his swimming lesson before parents' evening and Cubs so I'll hopefully manage to get a few jobs done then.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Morning campers, am up bright and early this morning – yep I was actually up before 5.30am..ugh!! My stupid cat decided to poop outside her litter tray, so I was not best amused as I had to get up and clear it up. DH was faffing around getting ready for work.. Anyway as I was up I thought I would stay up. I am now on my third cup of tea in just over an hour..lol.

    So far this morning I have potted up my sweet pea, french beans and pea seeds and have them sitting on the kitchen window sill where they will benefit from the sun and aid them to germinate. Although not too happy as I managed to float the carbon monoxide monitor in the washing up bowl, and yes it was full of water at the time. So I don’t know if it will work now.. Anyway it is drying out, and I have dried it with kitchen roll as much as I can, so fingers crossed it works. Although I am not sure I was popular as for some reason I decided to take it ouside in the garden to dismantle.. Oh yes I know why, it was beeping so much my poor border collie was going frantic trying to hide from the noise. T’other dog couldn’t care and just carried on sleeping in his bed..lol

    I am now going to have a shower and get on with the ironing that I didn’t do yesterday..oops! Plus I am going to make beetroot brownies later, and I better do them seeing as I promised DH them for tea tonight now.

    Hugs and spoons to everyone, especially Toots, LW and extra special hugs to L.L.

    Morning all, blind man landed yesterday morning and DD's bedroom and the hall are now done. :D Today i'm heading to Lisburn, i'm not ready fussed on going but hubby is. My sister is coming to, to go and look at some prams, i suppose i should really have a nosey at summer buggy's for Rhys.

    Plan later is dragging everyone to help with the house, it's looking pretty good and the rooms that we've cleared and cleaned are staying that way. :D

    Right i better get everyone up.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Morning all. Sorry I've been AWOL. Flying has gone out the window. My mum has been rushed into hospital. Gall stones have been discovered - she is yellow and has a high temp. We are still waiting to see if they are going to operate. It's very scary.

    Catch up later.

    Well have college all day today so will try and do the list when I come home, if the children let me. Will also try and get some coursework fitted in too. DD is going on a school trip today-such a shame that the weather does not look good but I am sure that he will have a great time and may be exhausted tonight :)
