Morning All
Well I've been up since 5.30 and all I've done is either texted DS or spoke to him on the phone as he's sleeping at our friend's house but nobody else is up and he hadn't taken his ds or anything so he'd got nothing to do!
I want to pop out and do a bit of shopping this morning but DD came home last night at 11 so I need to wait for her to wake up before we can go although I hadn't really anticipated taking her with me! I think I'm going to move my ironing mountain out of the LR into the conservatory so it's out of the way as my mate's coming over this afternoon and then there's a pile of socks and underwear that need sorting which is on the settee - in fact there's nowhere to sit in the LR at the moment although apart from that the LR is tidy as I tidied it and hoovered it yesterday.
DS has just texted me again so I suppose I'd better ring him back!
Have a good day all

CY happy birthday to DS!
DK oh no! hope your DS feels better soon!
my DS2 is away to nursery in big boy pants today along with potty, about 4 pairs of clean trousers, 9 pairs of pants and 3 pairs of socks!
im just back from physio. been discharged again with an open appointment for 6 weeks meaning if i need it i can just call up anytime in the next 6 weeks without having to be referred again. hope this time i can get past the 2 week mark!
im going to have a look at the lists and see what i fancy doing today. being kid free some things are easier to do now than when ive one or 2 running round lol. need to go have a shower and do something upstairs. im getting fed up of the workmen staring at me through the living room window!0 -
Dusty - DS1 sounds very poorly. I hope he improves rapidly.
I took the little ones to see the Lion King in 3D yesterday. We all came out with banging headaches and DD2 threw up in Tesco's and in the car on the way back. She slept on the sofa from 4.45 and I transferred her to bed at 8.30. She slept through to 8 this morning. It reminded me of DSD1 who used to suffer with migraine when she was little. Anyway I will never go to see a 3D film again.
The kitchen looks like a tsunami has gone through it so I'm going to do a HHC at 1015 if anyone want to join in
Happy birthday to CY's DD0 -
I'll join you Mumto5 - DS promised a half hour of TV whilst I fly..
MoamAlthough no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.
