    Good morning :D

    Bins are out, DW emptied & reloaded, poo picked up from garden, TV screen cleaned, washing up done , kitchen S&S, breakfast had, kids dispatched to school - so not too bad this morning.

    DS has his clarinet exam (grade 1) this morning, so I need to pick him up from school & take him. I am working from 1.30, so need to crack on with the bathroom now.

    Hugs & spoons to those that need them :)

    Catch you later ...

    Since my last post I have cleaned the bathroom (didn't take long :)), collected & sorted the laundry & put one load in WM & washed out the food bin. I am just having a quick cuppa before I go to collect DS from school & take him to his music exam. It's the first time he has done anything like this, so he doesn't know what to expect & he is a bit nervous :( I think he will be relieved when it's over :j

    Hugs & spoons to all :D
  • Hi Mozzy, I lived in Sheidow Park for a while in Adelaide, beautiful place, esp Christie Beach. That was another life though 25 years ago!

    Feel really down this morning, everywhere I look needs attention, just don't know where to start :(

    I never get any time on my own to have a really good crack at the cleaning. My OH thinks I'm mad that a messy house makes me feel low, he just doesn't see it.

    I need some good energy vibes please, and another cup of tea.:coffee:

    Morning all :wave:

    Hi Gran :wave:

    Things are not good this morning. After my chauffeuring yesterday, I dropped Nana and Mum off. Nana fell going up the stairs and has burst her leg open. The nurse came round last night and is coming back this morning. Nana's sister died on Sunday and we've got the funeral tomorrow. Which happens to be my Dad's 70th birthday. I'm popping over to Mum's in a wee while to babysit Nana.

    Dailies are done and I'll have a quick tidy up in the LR before I head off.

    I hope everything turns out as you wish vibes Nicki :A

    Hugs and spoons all round.
