Good morning

Pigpen - great pics. It's good to see you are encouraging Squeak to muck in & help at an early age :rotfl:

I am up, dressed & breakfasted. We are supposed to be visiting a friend this morning (she has a pool & it's HOT today!), before DD2 goes to the orthadontist at 3pm, but there is no sign yet of my children! I may have to give them a kick, and tell them that they have 15 mins, or I am going without them!!

I will make a few calls before we go, and arrange for new contracts to be signed (re work). She wants me to start next week, but hasn't signed a contract yet! Also still trying to work my way through the paper, which has moved from the sofa (dog kept knocking it off 'cos it was in his way!) but is still 'there'

catch up later

ETA No list! Do we have a day off? What day is it? I am so confused (it doesn't take much!)

piggers Do we get a day off?

Big frog dealt with... All email accounts now working properly from the iPad. Will set them up on the iBook when the bathroom is done for the day.

Bathroom may take longer than planned... Despite discussing it extensively it appears that they didn't quote for plastering the ceiling or even making good where they had taken tiles off. And they've now decided that the work they thought would be finished by tomorrow may go over into next week anyway.

No sign of either the person who is supposed to be helping with the cleaning or the gardener/handyman who I was expecting to see here this week. Looks like I need to find alternatives.

Suppose I should get some work done while my mother is cleaning shoes

i was thinking the same thing!

we can just chill and fly like mad this afternoon lol.

i made too much fish pie yesterday so we are having left overs tonight meaning i dont haveto cook so i have plenty time to fly. messed up my meal plans like but its saving me pennies anyway.

need to get DS2 haircut today too. nto looking forward to that coz he has eczema on his scalp too and i want them to cut it really really short so i can get the creams right down instead of them sticking to his hair. i think he will be one of those kids that suits a skin head where as his brother so wouldnt but he has the most gorgeous blonde hair and i dont want it to go

Valli

noticed PC was beginning to hum a little yesterday so have stripped off side, air vacuumed it and we're back to silent running...

trying to gather the wherewithal to iron - oooh it's HOT

Goodintentions
