    Well done, what a relief that must be x
    I always ask St. Anthony as the patron of finding lost things and also St. Jude the patron of lost causes. (Maybe I ought to ask St. Jude about the state of my house!!)

    Not a good start to the day as me and DH rowed and then I sunk into a BD state. Been able to shake it off though and this morning done my dailies and just spent a lovely 90 mins out in the garden with the kids doing some weeding and playing with the kids - and we hid in their play tent and did some birdwatching (just filled up the bird feeders!) - only a shame I don't know which birds we saw as I only know a few!!!! I need Natty to help me :)

    Plan for pm is to do my ironing, do a typing job (got another on the way) and just generally get a bit more sorted. Think I may gather up my sun shield for a pram and flotation vest to put on ebay as it's the time of year for it.

    Good intentions and started well but suffering from serious slow down now - am going to get ipod on loud and timer too and see what 15 mins can fix.

    Off to Mr T's and B&Q to return stuff with receipts so should get £ back as didn't fit/not needed and going to put refunds towards new wall fund.

    DD has just made me a brew - her first ever and extremely well supervised but it is lovely that she wants to help her old mum.:p

    Awwww:( I hate it when Mr LW and I have a disagreement, I know just how you feel. Hope you can "kiss and make up" very soon.
    Re the birds; this might be of use:

    Take care, Twinnie, and have a good rest-of-the-weekend.;)

    Msgnomey what can I say....... absolute bummer.:(

    Cat_smith hooray for finding your ring! Mine went missing for months one time - turned up in my underwear drawer! Gods alone know how it got there!:D

    I'm still very washed out, but had to put the 'puter on, as I got some paperwork in the post today. I think Mr LW wants us to go up to Bradwell Windmill in a bit - could be interesting, if I flake out while we're there!:eek::D

    I have a BIG frog to deal with, too - which I think needs breaking down into tadpoles. If it's not too much of a mixed metaphore, it's a real Elephant Task..... sorting out my clothes, and finding out which fit and which don't.:eek:
    It has to be done at times Mr LW is available to help, as I need help with dressing/undressing at the best of times. Unfortunately, he has other things he'd prefer to be doing.

    Ribbit.....ribbit....ribbit.....:D:D:D:D:D
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Managed to get loads of washing done today and risked it with 'little white fluffy clouds' blowing over and replaced with grey thick ones. So far so good and all is drying - all bedding, towels, clothes with plenty of hokey cokey going on.

    Other flying done is all LR, BR, bathroom stairs and swept and mopped kitchen floors, bins empties, loaf made, sweets eaten and now really need some pop as sweets made me mega thirsty

    Just deciding what way round to do this
    Revise
    Yoga
    Dog walk
    Chill out

    Sunday is finish off kitchen - not oven cleaning until the weekend at the end of the month as have a massive exam in less than 2 weeks and it can wait until that's over. Also wash dog bedding, cleaning cloths and HHI, make a mahoosive ragu for some easy teas after late finish at uni (after work aswell!) next week so not much flying will get done next week unless I get a massive energy boost!

    Right offski now to watch some FA cup build up and drink some water
