    Believe it or not the list is getting smaller and have got rest of today and tomorrow to plod on - more importantly both my children now have working bikes and dd can ride hers without stabilisers and ds can ride his with stabilisers - I am no longer needed in the park, only to provide £ for ice creams. I can feel a nice long summer of reading and stitching in the park while they zoom round and round:j

    Managed to get the kids some nice bits in town. Just had a cuppa and 4 chocolate digestives. Need to get the washing in and start dinner now. Can't believe that is another day gone.

    Is it bedtime yet?
    I have hoovered from top to bottom although in the bedrooms it was selective cos of the carp on the floor.
    At least there isn't cat litter up the stairs now.
    I have also cleaned the venetian blinds in the LR. What a job! Took ages
    Coffee now, then I might think about dinner. MIGHT!

    Listies done over a couple of days. Dailies also done.

    Been to opticians with DD and she was there ages. She has to go and see an eye specialist. Then came out to get a phone call to say one of my fellow meeter and greeters has died. He had been ill for a while.

    Ive had a friend round this afternoon and was pleased the house was looking good thanks to flylady.

    Think Ive missed some birthdays so belated greetings.
    Welcome to the newbies.

    Dusty Thanks for the daffodil story.
    Lady L Hugs and spoons.
    Toots Hugs and spoons.

    Hugs and spoons for those that need them.

    Boddy sorry to hear about your fellow greeter. I hope DD's eye problem can be resolved quickly

    Washing in
    Dinner done

    15 minutes emails next then tidy kitchen and make a cuppa. I want DS3 in bed before 8 today as he's been a bit rude and grumpty this afternoon and I'm putting it down to too many late nights.

    Dusty - there does seem to be a nasty hormonal surge at 8/9 for the boys. After a couple of months of terrible problems with DS1 and his temper we have now had 14 days tantrum free, and there is no obvious reason for the change in his behaviour. I banned junk, monitored viewing, removed computers/games/youtube, brought bedtime forward and so on at the early stages without much impact.

    I actually have some days off over the holidays so I want to pull together a Toots list. Making dinner for OH, then need to do some ironing.
