    Morning All

    Plan for this morning is to sort the kids' clothes out I think but that depends on how compliant the kids are feeling! It's my Grandma's birthday today so we'll be going over there this evening and I haven't fetched her present yet so that's another job I've got to do. I've also got to book some tickets and a hotel room for my parents as well. WM & TD already on so I've made a start and seeing as DS is up I may make a start on his clothes.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Morning Juliejim

    Gave in and got up. Recovered the fire in the wood burner from the last embers which was a result.

    Huge amount to do, parents due to call in for coffee late this afternoon and we are still in a huge mess with sawdust and dust everywhere. Left work very late again last night, then typing notes at home till 10.30pm so I have done nothing at all, not even the dailies. DH cleared the kitchen, and the monster wood pile from the patio which helps.

    *and breathes*

    It doesn't matter that my parents wouldn't mind, I mind!

    Aah I think you've remained very calm with all the work/mess that's been going on. I know from experience it would try the patience of a saint! But it'll all be done sooooon and will be amazing. Just what you wanted and like JulieJim said "worth it" :-)

    kazw, you have reminded me I need to clean the greenhouse and get some seeds started. The kitchen now has four huge tiled windowledges that can be utilised so that is an improvement.

    Brushed and then scrubbed said windowledges. Cleaned and added bread bin, toaster and egg rack to the kitchen. WM on. Animals fed.

    Children up and bickering :cool:

    Morning all

    Starting to feel a bit better today. Watching the World Indoor Athletics at the moment but I think I'll get the ironing board out and do that at the same time.

    Hex so happy progress is good - I'm tempted to pop in for a busy if we head up your way over the summer x

    Today I have got all the potties and trainer seats in the bath with some star drops, they are due a good scrub. Other than that we are clean and tidy.

    Except me, I shall be in the shower and giving my hair a wash!

    This afternoon, I'm going to see a medium. Hoping for a message from my husband. Trying not to get my hopes up too high but he promised he would come and see me, and look after me and the tots.

    Am I nuts?
