    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

    Hugs

    Morning

    It is raining here, one soggy cat jumped on the bed at 6.30am, pawing wanting feeding, cat now fed.
    Recycling stuff out
    Floors done
    Cat flap cleaned
    Fridge wiped out, nothing out of date in there, but then again not a lot in there in the 1st place.
    Need to make shopping list.

    Have a good day.

  • Morning all!

    Am going to do some ironing before the kids wake up - today is DD1's 21st birthday! We went for a family meal at a local pub last night and had a really nice time.

    Today her mate is coming round - I have to dash into town - yesterday the girls didn't hear the postman at 8am ( I was at the doctors) so I have 2 parcels to retrieve!

    Horrendous night with DS1 delirious and in pain. He has been in my bed since 1 am (he is 17) he is that ill.

    FFP we can be tired together later. Hope all goes well with pot removal

    CY a very happy birthday to your DD1

    I have orthotics appointment with DS2 and DS3 this morning and need to buy a digital thermometer whilst I'm out.

    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 DD
  • I'll join you Mumto5 - DS promised a half hour of TV whilst I fly..

    Moam
    Although 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.
