Morning lovelies! :wave:

Rachel I have a cut off point about 6ish usually, I refuse to do anymore work after that-ish. It's not a strict rule as sometimes i'm 'just in the mood' or if I've had a snooze in the avo I've got energy to use, but yeah I see it like finishing work, why should I be working round the clock. xx

Happy, safe travels Greenbee xx

Beautifully sunny again today :j which is just as well as after clearing littleys room yesterday there's 4 loads of washing plus the rest :eek: I'm slowly getting through it, my machine does a 40 wash in 2.5 hrs so it takes forever to do just 2 loads. I'll run out of line/airer space so the TD will have to do the bedding.

House is quite ok, just dailies to do today and an online food shop, need to get the rabbits in this morning as they point blank refused last night! Lily cat is going out now so best not to have them running riot.....I couldn't cope with mopping up rabbit parts.....I've been looking into runs but it'll be cheaper and better (bigger) if OH makes one so need to set money aside this week for that. I'm playing turn eachies with them at the moment lol cat out/rabbits in and vice versa.

Gonna open the curtains and let the sunshine in, tennis final this avo, yeah! :T

Good morning! There's no way i will catch up with the thread now, so i hope everyone is okay and if you're not okay i send you my (((hugs)))

I'm ticked off cause a buyer has left me neutral feedback (my very first!) without contacting me first!! Why would they do that?! I'd rather give someone a full refund and see them happy than have bad feedback! I've sent them a message asking why and replied on my feedback page anyway. I thought it was courtesy to contact a seller first.

Today DD is going out with her fun, loud aunty and DS will be at the grandparents for a little while too. Adult time, yeah!

Need to get quite a bit done still...

Morning all another lovely blue sky here this morning.

I've done a good 40 minutes in the kitchen, mainly tidying, just going to have a cuppa and then I'll finish the kitchen.

Gardening and Jam making mainly today.

Now it's July i really want to get the downstairs all sorted and deep cleaned before the kids break up for summer, upstairs is not too bad and I'll do the bedrooms with the kids maybe the first week of the holidays.

Boddy Thoughts to you today xx

I've brought in and folded a line full of towels and a maiden full both from yesterdays washing glut! So maiden has 1 load on currently (takes 2) and the line is free, next load already in and will be done for 11-ish. Got the rabbits in and they're squabbling *tuts* cat is out but wary and keeps coming back in lol and I've put last years fly net up at the back door :j that should keep the little gits out!

Gonna load the DW up now with a few bits and wipe the kitchen down. Need to hoover today too.

Morning all, hubby up nice and early and woke me with a cuppa.

Kids still snoozing which isn't surprising because they were up into 11 last night. :eek:

Gonna be a hot one here today so i'll get the paddling pool blown up and filled.

Dusty glad to hear the party went well.

RachelS you are doing brilliantly with the flying. Please remember some of us have been doing this for years, I kid you not, and are still tweaking the way we do things.

Boddy hugs and love for you

Toots and LadyL I've some spoons left over from the street party, only plastic ones but you're both welcome to them x

Diva's candles for anybody who wants to drop by.

Morning everyone, major efforts in the garden yesterday mean that the green waste bin is full to the brim and the place looks a lot better. Looks like the wisteria is going to have a second flush

We are trying to get the bathroom painted and finished today - it has been in limbo for months. A mix of white woodwash on the panelling, and F&B blue green for a feature wall. It will be lovely after four years of avacado and worlds worst green tiles.

13 says till my lovely house sitters are due to arrive so a flurry of activity required in the house too.
