    Morning All

    Going to visit another school this morning and going to play rounders with DD this afternoon - weather permitting. Might try and get to the 11.30 SW group instead of going at 3.30 but it depends what's happening. Not going to be a good WI anyway - too much chocolate!

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Morning everyone,

    today is DH's birthday and I got up just before he left before 6am and I forgot to wish him HB so had to text :o

    'Have both boys home again today. DS1 is still poorly, just a sore throat temperaturery thing. Tomorrow he has a hospital appointment and Thursday if better is having an operation. So it looks like the school holidays have come early to this house.:undecided

    So far I have done
    2xwm, raining so it can't be hung out.
    cleaned out medicine cupboard and made list of what is in there.

    Off to check today's listy

    Help yourself to spoons, hugs, sticks, mules, coffees I have put them on the doorstep next to charity shop bags.
  • Good morning all,

    Have been called into work as somebody has requested a buffet and only 1 chef working so I am just going in to make the buffet. Don't know how much flying I will get done but do as much as I can.

    Congrats Jenny and hugs to everybody who needs them.
