    I'm attempting to sort out the pigsty that is DD's BR - I'm fed up of the rows between her and DH about it and she's got 2 broken drawers so she is struggling to put her clothes away so I'm sorting everything out and getting rid of some stuff. Don't know whether I'll finish it but at least it'll be a bit better.

    Haven't really got any further in DD's room as Sainsbugs arrived and then the girls - I'm going to do a quick 15 mins in there now and then it'll be time to go out.

    Very quiet - I thought I was talking to myself this morning.

    Back from funsters, kids are now eating pizza and DH is on his way home - I wasn't expecting him until about 6! Going to do a bit more on DD's BR now.

    Afternoon all

    Washing flying on the line and our bed linen in the machine. Spent the morning with DS1 seeing a shoulder consultant but fortunately it is nothing serious so just physio to sort out next.

    Off to the garden in a minute for a couple of hours whislt DH gets on with the mega list. Think I'll get DS2&3 to help me.

    Dancemum how did you get on with your appointments yesterday?

  • Good afternoon ladies.

    Firstly... fab - er - ooooney news LW :beer: so glad you finally got back the meds you need and hope you feel the benefits very soon xx

    Big ((HUG)) to mumto5 wishing you strength... with knobs on! xx

    kazwookie thank you for what you have done to keep us in order :p

    This week there are more things still to do than done on the lists but I have definitely benefited from being back so thanks to everyone :T Poorly DD hindered me at the end of the week with her lounging-on-the-sofa-coughing behaviour so I have spent a lot of time clearing up soother wrappers, making hot drinks, and forcing her to take the cough medicine which works but tastes and smells like the devil's vomit :eek:

    I can feel a big fling coming on - of the binbag not the rumpy-pumpy type, sadly :o But before that I think I will make some pear and apple cake yum yum.

    Have a good afternoon all.

    BBx
