    Morning.. while it still is.. :p

    Knitted a button band this morning.. I hoped to do it last night then realised I had knitted 2 right fronts so had to redo half of that and my mother came round so I didnt get it finished.. but I have 2 I need to get sewn up so I am trying to get that done today

    Diary updated with new appointments ... mostly for DD4.. growth, physio, podiatry and I need to chase her OT and ESPD assessments... I need to check when dentist is due for them all too.. bah... later...

    Off to change change Squeaks stench and then hang out her boiled sleepsuits.. they were soaked for 2 days to try to combat some of the worst staining then washed.. HOT !!

    The boys are dog sitting at my mothers for an hour.. so that has got them out of the house for a bit.. so the girls are not squealing.. bliss it is!

    Next child to get on my hooters is scrubbing the kitchen floor... with the nail brush! :p... what else was on my listypoop?...

    Need some suggestions for some static flying for a couple of days as I managed to fall into a pothole on the way to work yesterday spraining one ankle and bashing up the other knee. Managing to prop myself up at work with lifts to and from the door, but really need to do the RICE routine at home so that I'm back up and running as as possible.

    All suggestions for sitting down flying would be extemely welcome. Spent a profitable evening last night sort out bills and finance stuff (and may just have spent time surfing around one or two Forums too!)

    Unfortunately I didn't do dailies Monday evening as I decided to "stuff it" and watch a programme on TV that I really wanted to see before I did them - so now the day to day stuff is glaring at me and my fingers are itching to restore some semblance of order whilst my legs are refusing to play.

    Haven't had a very successful morning flying wise...
    The wasp man hasn't turned up (I would have put money on this). i didn't peg the washing out because it would have been in his way. I have to go out soon, and it is too grey to chance it. I will have to spread it round the house which is REALLY annoying.
    My friend has been and we had a nice natter. I have listed a few bits on ebay -I desperately need extra money - can't seem to get straight after our holiday!

    I have put the clothes away in our room, but there is still lots of carp about. It doesn't seem to have a home, so just sits there.
    Anyway, enough of my whingeing! I am off out to my voluntary job for a few hours. It always makes me grateful for my lot in life however carp it may be on that particular day!

    Back later for a bit more flying
    Yesterday is history
    Tomorrow is a mystery
    Today is a gift
    That's why we call it 'The Present'
