    I have done very little today... totally shattered from last week's work trip (left on Monday, got back late yesterday afternoon... flight was delayed by 90 minutes as the plane was broken and they had to find us a new one...)

    Haven't even unpacked... went to bed at 6.30 last night, woke up at 4.30, got up at 8.30 and have done very little since. Hope to be recovered for tomorrow as work is busy and I need to sort out the spare room for my dad's visit on Wednesday. Oh yes, and do some food shopping...

    Evening:)

    Been busy as i had 3 exams this week, 2 were fine but fridays made me cry:o Not during the exam fortunately, managed to hold myself together til i got to my mums. Was hideous!

    I'm all done at the moment though so no excuse not to sort out my hovel.

    Happy belated birthday Triker.

    Love and hugs to all, especially AJ, Vanilla, LadyL and Toots:A

    Dinner done

    Acorn squash planted out and the sweet peas.

    Just going to list 3 items - Toots 40 is impressive well done and then start to tackle the mamouth ironing pile while DH gets DS3 ready for bed.

    G&B sorry your exam was so vile and well done for getting through it. I've had to mop up tears in maths exams before.

    JoJo - glad taking control of the remote worked. DS1 tidied his room in 10 minutes once the laptop was hidden.

    Sounds good... when is half term?

    I badly need to get some exercise as I'm seriously lethargic at the moment... might have an early night tomorrow and pretend to myself I'll go for a run before my massage appointment at the crack of dawn... of course, if I find my running stuff then the probabilty might increase...
