    Afternoon all

    I'm pages and pages behind so just posting first. I still can't work to the lists because the builders are still in but I think we're on the last few days. I have been doing what I can and the bathroom and toilet and all the bedrooms are done properly, I got the bedding washed today. I've vacuumed up the dust umpteen times and there are dusty footprints there again now. But this time next week I should be able to sit down!

    Oh, and I cut the back grass, edged it and did loads of sweeping up and watered the pots.

    Just got to do my ironing and then I've done everything I wanted to do today and more (attic!). I've sorted out which books to give away and which I'm going to keep back that are worth more and sell on Amazone. Also I've bagged up the stuff for the charity shop and will drop that off on Wednesday.

    DH called on Skype and spoke to S so that was good; S was a bit grumpy to be honest but DH made him laugh and smile - towards the end though S said he had to go cos he had to do dusting and sort out the loft; see how I'm getting him well trained at the tender age of 4 ;)!

    I hope all those who are poorly will feel better soon; I thought the tummy bug had calmed down but looks like it's around again now so big gentle hugs and a glass of Lucozade to all.

    The toy corner has been sorted :j:j:j i was really happy until Ds2 reminded me there's a huge cardboard box of toys in my office that i hid ages ago to make the toy corner look less horrific when someone was coming round. :eek: There's no way i'm starting on that now, we've got to go soon.

    Eaten an ugly frog and planted out some dahlias, moved some other plants so I'll be watering once the sun goes down.

    Time for dinner now.
