    hello all

    nice to see some familiar faces coming 'home' - definitely Hotel California here

    and thanks for reminding me it's Star Wars day tomorrow :rotfl:

    been observed today and got a solid satisfactory with quite a lot of goods, too. I'm happy with that. Very happy. First lesson back after a 2week+ holiday? Go me!

    but I have a very busy week with extra shifts to help out a colleague (i'll get time off in lieu - and it'll probably be time off in loo because there'll be cleaning to do - cracks up at own wit) so that'll be NEXt week...

    Have retweeted your landy Dippy, and am now following JJTF while I'm at it...

    Hope you are OK Toots and Lady Liberty...

    Oh I have pegged out 1 t shirt...and am about to wash up.

    Hello all. I'm in (a bit late, but better late than never!!)

    2 oldest back at school today, so kinda back to normal. I had to take DS3 to hospital for bloods and lung function tests, so am completely behind. I am posting a list and trying to catch up where I can. (I'm not going to worry too much though, my heartburn is awful and my baby bump feels like it has increased in size overnight. I think he has turned into the Incredible Hulk or something in there! :D)

    Home IVs are going ok, DS is much happier at home, and so am I.

    (((hugs))) to all that need them. Hope this week is good for us all. :)

    A reasonably successful day. I've decluttered the lounge floor and hoovered and I must say it looks much better. Towels washed and dried. Inside windows cleaned (and DH saying he'll do the outsides at the weekend).

    The house is looking so much better, but there's still quite a way to go.

    Not had time to read through posts so sorry if I've missed anyone who needs (((hugs))).

    Work, marking then Holby today as dh has 'done' downstairs while he sat around waiting for builders to look at roof damaged by lead thieves - remarkable that he has even achieved this since normally he is allergic to making important phone calls!

    Own listy this week =
    1. Let dh do downstairs
    2. Do upstairs myself tomorrow while dd is at Brownies - lots of chucking, sorting, putting away and cleaning to do in our room as icklies have been really good keeping theirs tidy over the holidays.
    3. Get all annoying school stuff back to school where it belongs and stop trying to kid myself that because it is here I will actually use it.

    Nixie Mystic gets my vote for May Queen, so cute:D

    LW Happy Anniversary to you and Mr LW, have a lovely evening

    A walk with the Dog and OH as been decluttered

    Dinner has been made and eaten, though god knows why I bother with DS and DD, as all they do is moan about what is put in front of them. DD, DS and OH are all cleaning up after dinner while I SOMFA.

    had a major mission by bus to Icing World ( a shop that is all of 3m x 3m big). The 11 was super-crowded both ways, people were kind, but annoyed at the buggy and the kids were co-operative:j The shop-lady bullied me in my ignorance into buying sizes of board I didn't think I needed and they didn't have a 12inch tin to hire today for £2 so I had to buy one for £17.99:mad::mad::mad: At least it saves me having to go back - the bus pass is £3.60 in any case!

    minimal flying today, but dailies done, roast lamb cooked and wolfed by kids and is having its second outing in 5 mins (nom nom). Will do the fridge and MW if nothing else tonight and mop too. 2 WM loads dried, 4loads sorted (but not put away yet).

    Assignment work tonight plus a bit of operation ginormous quilt.

    Finding it hard to keep up with everyone's news, but I wanted to send supportive thoughts to all those that need them, when I read the posts of people facing difficulties I really do keep you in my thoughts so I didn't want to write anything glib.

    Hello :)
    Hostess rang, WM on - but empty with white vinegar because I have realised that all clothes, uniform and PE kit are already clean and just need to be ironed - MASSIVE WOOP WOOP!! It's a huge thing for me - after starting to get organised this is the reward and it feels blinkin brilliant! Tea is in oven and I'm going to start getting rubbish and recycling sorted for morning :)
    Yay :D
