Thanks go the list JulieJim.
I've been ironing for the last 2 hours so that's one thing to cross off.
DS1 still has a raging temperature so I don't think I will get to work tomorrow. He's 17 but needs his Mum as much as the littles did last week.
Quillion more Labour vibes.0 -

Meh. Ninja Kitten looks like he has a black eye. I suspect either a smack in the face from one of the older cats, or dust from the litter tray. He has until tomorrow morning before he is taken to the vet for the first time.
I chased minion upstairs with her clean washing and she is for the high jump if I go in the pit to find it dumped on the floor.
Other than that, I'm in, but allowing for practice for the next gig.I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.Yup you are officially Rock n Roll0 -
I need to hide my bank card. Just bought a new handbag, I'd resisted whilst it was full price but it's half price so I went and got it. Also spent a fortune at John Lewis online on new household bits. Thank god DH isn't home till June time
House is still relatively tidy, just maintenance and keeping on top of it, thinking I'm doing to much as my section scar is really sore today so fluttering lightly this week whilst MIL does the heavy duty flying.

Wow - in again this week - particularly as starting to feel so much easier now. My kitchen is still looking good from last week - I'd not tackled the kick boards for such a long time, so now they're coming up again on the list will be so much easier. I so enjoy my house looking much better.
