    Well the haar is back:(
    Hope it doesn't reach you, toots, glad to hear you are settling in so well - in spite of your visitor;) only get one bite at an assignment, but I got a very positive email from tutor - so onwards and upwards.

    Valli - I suspect most kids are bad about communication - they know they are OK IYSWIM. Back in the dark ages I did a school trip to Norway - I know the staff arranged for one girl to phone home as she was so homesick, but I don't think the other parents got any news till we got home.
    CY - have a great time

    Hugs, spoons and sticks as needed - off for a shower and to chuck a mule at myself.:rotfl:

    Happy Birthday Lamewolf

    Thanks yet again for the lists.
    I have got important visitors visiting here on Saturday, well ones that will notice the state of the house!!!!!!!
    So I need to get the house and garden all ship-shape:(
    This means I need to follow the lists to the letter this week if at all possible. Probably need to eat spinach or something to give me super powers:)
    Better get started

    Morning all!

    Happy Birthday, LW!

    images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTAv7kT6R0pU_OOtzYjiMo14XvsrqZJ3yxvxdP_Yla0XXgsqaFz

    Despite best plans all I managed to do last night was school stuff. Slow progress. :o

    However, I managed to get up a tiny little bit earlier today and am now on my 2nd cuppa/breakfast, DW is on and kitchen bin emptied (bin day today).

    I'll need a different list for today and am not sure how much flying I'll be able to fit in.

    Listy:
    wash hair
    wake both DSs
    breakfast for DS2
    bake twinks
    take twins to friend down the road and say good-bye to her son
    empty all bins and put grey bin out
    peg last lot of washing out
    sort lunch
    empty car boot
    be in school by 10am :eek: (may have to revise this)
    work until 1pm
    see friend about our car and depending on the outcome do a charity shop/skip run and go somewhere with DS2
    deliver car to DH for 4.30/5pm and catch train/bus home
    tea for DSs and me - and breath!

    Have a lovely day, everyone. x

    ETA I'll join you, Julie.
