    Only washed up tonight and oh yes I did hang out the washing before work so it is all nice and dry. Lost a bit of motivation to do things today - must be after the long weekend!

    Off for some yoga in a bit to cheer myself up

    Will do some flying tomorrow

    Then got interupted by 10 hoodies on bike banging on my door asking for my DS1 (2nd time today) 1 teen started swearing at me etc. I then had to go and fetch DS1 from his friend's house as they were going to get him. Dinner plans ruined no one had an appetite. They has been no repeat so far but DH is pacing up and down.

    I may need to tackle some frogs to keep busy

    Thats flipping awful, hope your ok...

    L-L thanks hon, lovely to see you poping in. How's the new house?

    I've managed nothing since, slept for awhile on the sofa because i was freezing. I thing i've got a chill from the beach. So it will be hot water bottle and bed early.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    In my HHC I've

    Put tent up for the girls in the LR - they decided they couldn't do it themselves
    Brought washing in
    Folded towels and put away
    Parcelled a parcel up for short bird

    That's about it

    I've sort of been banished upstairs now as the girls are in the tent downstairs.

    Thanks for your kind words, we are quite upset.

    In my HHC I sorted the kitchen out and sorted DS2 out and can't remember what else.

    I am now filing (using nervous energy)

    Evening lovely ladies

    Nice to see you back Sarahshattered and Lady-Liberty, special thoughts for oyu.

    Well my day didnt go to plan

    Took Doogie for walk to post office to post DH phone for repair, my parcel to France, return my new glasses and a sweatshirt that was too small. That was all done but DD and I bumped into a couple of her friends who were charity shopping and stuff for their school project on recycling. DD suggested they come back to our as we have loads of material they could use (true). So the whole afternoon was spent sorting through the boxes of material and old clothes so that can have a recycled fashion show. There's still loads of work to do but plans are going well. Unfortunately it means my list hasnt proressed much further so I am going to watched the next BGT then crack on with some of the easier bits n pieces.

    TTFN
