Jobs started

WM been on twice, can't do anymore 'til what's on the line is dry.
Beds have been striped and DD's have made a good start on their pit but have stopped for some brunch.
DW is loaded but not enough in there to put it on yet.
Cat litters changed.
DD2 thinks she's going to a roller disco tonight but I've told her not 'til ALL her jobs done. She's being a proper gobby teenager at the moment, I'm finding her really hard work and it doesn't help my depression
We've put Darling Cat 5 (DC5) in her pet carrier so we can open the doors for a bit. She's the only one who's not had the snip or jabs yet :cool:
Today is DC4's first time outside since he's had his jabs & snip and DD1 is following him around the garden like a worried parent After the vet said that we could have been right about him being deaf DD1's extra worried he won't hear cars so she'll only let him in the back garden
Right, I'm going to finish my drink and get back to it, though I do feel like the witch from The Wizard of Oz . . .

"I'm meeeelllllltttttiiiinnngggggggggg!!!!"

Good evening

It is very quiet on here. I suspect everyone has been enjoying the weather & not flying much (apologies for anyone that has rain )

I have had a lovely day Art this morning, then a lovely lunch with the 'girls'. We sat outside at the restaurant to make the most of the good weather. It was shady at first, but the sun moved round & it was soooo hot! We then went to a Macmillan coffee morning thing (yes I know it was afternoon, and a day late, but still ) We had some pictures to show (possibly sell) One of my friends sold a picture :j Not for much, but it is so satisfying when you sell a picture to someone you don't even know

Then we came home. We had a bit of a road rage incident on the way back :eek: An idiot cut us up, and DH sounded the horn & gestured a bit. The guy pulled up in fron of us (on an A road). DH stopped aswell (I told him I would have just pulled round him, and left him sitting there like the idiot he was!). The guy came up and started having a go!! :eek: Must be the heat. It was a bit intimidating though

DH has gone to work (they are NOT ordering pizza!). I had a little snooze

Flying wise - I emptied the DW and made a cup of tea!! I will catch up tomorrow. I should do a bit of gardening, but probably wont!

I been back for more cuddles today..:D Sister is doing well and Eva has put on some weight.

Came home to the house being a tip so me and DD did the kitchen, DS1 did the front hall, DS2 did the main hall and i did the livingroom so place is looking loads better now. All kids have been decluttered to bed and i think i'll head soon too.
