    Finally managed to get my shopping done, that's everything off my list now APART FROM making a tart for the freezer. However I've given up on that now since it's 5 o'clock, much better that I spent some time with DD at the paddling pool and the park.

    AND I have all day tomorrow so I'll get it done then instead. Flying over for today.

    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.

    Reminder to self. Do Not Make Plans!

    An hour late leaving work, oven on ready to throw dinner in, PC on ready to find out what my Flylady chores are, quick change to enable me to do Dailies while dinner is cooking ......... change of clothes downstairs, me wandering around upstairs in a state of neither here nor there - dogs kick off to kindly tell me there was someone at the door, leaving me to grab the first clothing to hand, only to find out it's yet someone else who thinks I want their electric and gas! Meanwhile the dogs have rearranged the living room furniture in their efforts to tell said man that he was not wanted!

    Anyway, plan now is, dinner in oven whilst hopefully doing an HHC of dailies, and restoring living room furniture to MY idea of order. HHC of today's list after that, then may be an HHG and an HHI later. Actually, that sounds a tad too ambitious perhaps.

    Vanilla, what can I say that others haven't already. You really are amazing.

    Greenbee - glad to hear good news for a change

    MrsChaos - don't be so tough on yourself - you've enough going on that you should just be pleased with anything you do at the moment.

    OK, HHC should start at 6.00 pm if anyone's up for it.

    Thanks everyone, i'm pleased we're getting it sorted.

    Been up on the roof and hubby is brushing the fog off and i'm cleaning the gutters. It's very shocking how much stuff there is. I've cut back some of the hedge too and the kids have gathered it up into a pile so i best get it shifted as well. Plan is to get it finished and then sort the blocked drain, then get kids to bed and we can go saw some sticks..:D
