    Happy "bird day" Natty:-) have a great one. This thread is so so addictive I'm lurking even though I've finished my lists for this week. Thank you Dustykitten my house is gleaming I can happily go off to the football knowing it'll still be shining on my return.

    Hello everyone! Welcome to all newbies and returners; hugs for all poorlies x

    Thank goodness it's half term :D

    So far this morning I have been to collect a parcel, paid money into the bank, done the food shop, done one load of washing and the washing up!

    Need to have a look at the list to see if I can play catch up :o

    Oh, and yes, there should be a meet this week up North - MrsChaos is organising it and will no doubt be along sometime soon with details. Looking forward to it :D

    Finishing dusting downstairs and been out with DH to look at radiators. Decision finally made so DH can order that online on Monday.

    Just digesting lunch and then need to decide what to do this afternoon, it is lovely and sunny so I could walk into town but not sure what that will leave DS3 doing with DH

    Had a lovely soak in the bath, washed up, vacuumed living room, then did meal planning and food shop with DS. Have read a paper and a magazine (I love weekends) and may or may not select something from the lists to do next. After all there is a Sudoku puzzle to attempt.
    Spend less now, work less later.
  • Happy Birthday Natty!

    Still got loads of snow here!

    I have spent the morning doing Mt Ironmore and have achieved quite a bit! I still don't have much energy after last weeks bug....

    DD2 still very pale - she is now eating ,but not much. She is desperate to go to an 18th party tonight - I think if she does she will spend most of the night asleep somewhere...

    I did negotiate coursework deadlines for her last week, so we can think about that when she's better!

    Think i better go and get some lunch, though I still don't want to eat either...

    Oh and if I can make the Northern meet I'd love to come - looking forward to hearing the details...
