    AJ that sounds rotten. I've been where you are now and it's not pleasant.

    Jue I hope it went well. Stock up on soup while her mouth is tender. DS1 had teeth out on 23rd dec last year. I nearly had to pur!e his Christmas dinner.

    The housing appeal was a waste of time. We won't get the decision for 6 weeks but I am convinced it's going to go ahead. Redrow homes had queens council, a tree expert, a traffic expert and an environment expert. I can't inagine the bill for that lot. ££££££
    The poor planning officers from the council were like lambs to the slaughter. Bluebells were not seen - no surprise there the site survey was done in November. I'm very disappointed.

    Mumto5 we had something similar here on greenbelt land. The builders had a lot more to spend than the village did. Everything crossed for you. We won the first few stages and lost the last one.

    I did the DW, and out the TD on but that is it. I must make DS2s bed yet or he wont be going to sleep tonight.

    Congratulations Seafarers and welcome, young Benjamin.:o

    Grrr, I'm all behind this afternoon, as my email was playing up; done all bar the brass cleaning, though.:o

    Wednesday – any downstairs area which is left especially if it’s a room of doom

    Level 2
    Wipe all dusty areas with a damp cloth try for bedroom and spare room; they're all that's not been done yet Done
    Deal with outstanding post,
    all done bills, all done emails today's offerings to look at Done, finally – had trouble getting my email to download on the netbook, had to use the PC instead, which runs like a dog... and I don't mean a Greyhound!:D

    This will need Mr LW's assistance, methinks, so probably a weekend job

    Congratulations Mr and Mrs Seafarer on the safe arrival of Benjamin

    Hex - Woody is worse I think. I didn't want to wake him to take him to the vet but will go tomorrow if he is not better

    Finally finished my dailies, just doing dinner for DS1 and myself and then I'll do the lists for tomorrow.

    Just reading back and missed your very exciting news Pooh - so very happy for you all.

    Off to tidy up from dinner and phone my mother whilst DS3 is in the bath - he is driving us all mad this evening.
