Morning All

Loads to do but I'm in a bit of a CBA mood. DH has already been to Mr As as he went out early to have his hair cut. I suppose I ought to move and do something really.

Have a good day all

Hugs

Morning all

Floor hooverd and mopped
DS1 cleaned all boys school shoes last night and boy do they shine!
DS3 away to squash
DS2 has a sore throat but needs to get a personal statement done

3 of my ebay offering have bids, happy with that.

Off for my shower and then a walk to a friends who is doing a collection for the family of our friends son (the one in the coma, no news I'm afraid).

Morning all

Wow kazw, you've alread done loads this morning! Thanks for the reminder about diva. I think I have some purple socks somewhere.

I didn't manage guitar hero (or anything else) last night and had a much needed lie-in this morning. Going to make another cuppa, finish adding personal stuff to list and wake DH who WILL be helping. I'm thinking of sending him to do the shopping.

Oh, it's DS1's last day in New York. They're setting off back tonight and he should be home by teatime tomorrow. He has stayed in touch this time, so I'm pleased.

Morning all. Was tidying kitchen but have been thrown out by DH & DS1 who are making profiteroles(and a mess I dare say;))

L-L - nice to see you posting - if someone could post a link to Diva's candles page that would be good(cleared my history yesterday- doh). I still miss Diva's early morning purple posts. She was the only person up earlier than me & Juliejim!

Going to get dressed:o and do some of the list before DS1's riding lesson. Won't repost list as it is far too long:eek:

Sorry to hear that; I don't know the circumstances but must be awful to have your son in a coma.

My DH is in Washington this weekend I think although he did mention he might be skiing for a day some time over the weekend. He'd better bring me back some good presents!! How long has DS1 been gone for?


This morning I've:
Emptied and cleaned out the kitchen and bathroom bins
Attacked a stain in DS's room with Vanish (looks to have worked so far)
Made the beds
Hung up washing to dry

Still to do over the weekend:
Typing (down to 1 job now but got another one due in later today)
Clean out chickens
Maths homework
Ironing
See about chopping some of the wood in the garden for firewood (only if weather stays nice and I can get the kids to break off twigs etc )

I promised the children I'll take them to the zoo so DD can get a toy okapi she's been hankering after for ages. Also I was daft enough to mention doing cooking with them :eek:

Have a lovely day all

I have now bathed and dressed DD, she is busy dusting, never too young. For some reason the return button isn't working. So LW - Keep posting X Dusty - Positive vibes for your friends son X Mrs Chaos -Good news. Thinking of DIVA - always loved seeing the purple writing X I love the lists though I lurk mostly, they do inspire me or remind me to do things that haven't been done for a long time. xxx Do you think its to early for another cuppa ? x
