    I've Flown round the bedroom and the spare room, as Mr LW is wfh tomorrow, so I won't get anything done in the way of Flying.:o

    Also washed a couple of tops by hand - tried hanging them on the corner of the whirligig thingy on hangers, and it promptly rained.:mad: Well, they can dry in the bathroom now; I don't have the energy to spare for the Washing Hokey-Cokey.:D

    Hoppy Birdday Msgnomey:beer:

    Hi all,

    Thanks again for all the words of support. I have a tricksy couple of days, but feel a bit brighter today, sunshine is helping!

    I have also purchased hair dye, planning to declutter it onto my head tonight when the tots are in bed!

    Kitchen and dining room ok, but not busting a gut until after tea otherwise I end up sorting the kitchen three times a day. I have had the wm on though and hung to dry. That big chickeny pox on the back of dd's neck burst on her grobag yuk, but it does look very clean now, thanks to witch hazel and antibiotic cream. Her neck, not the grobag, heehee

    Took tots for feet measuring, DS stayed the same and didn't like any of them anyway. DD gone up half a size, but then they were stoopidly big, so I don't think she has really. This was clarks. The shoes were about £32 and canvas pumps £16. So, we wandered down to mothercare. They think dd has stayed the same, and I managed to get her a lovely pair of navy shoes for her hols for £12 in very soft leather, with a flexible sole. I hate solid heavy shoes for my little ones. DS didn't like any.
    Walked round a bit more, to Asda, and he found a nice pair of trainers, I had to fit them myself but I think they are ok, very smart, and just £8, plus I got some flip flops. So we all have our holiday shoes sorted, which is great as we only have 9 more sleeps, lol.

    MIL brought me her spare suitcase too, so I think we a just about good to go!

    Bathroom has had a deep clean and I got down on my hands and knees to mop the floor and chase the dust bunnies. This turned out to be a VERY wise move...NDN's alarm went off - so got the key and wandered round- there were windows open so she was home (usually works Thurs) but I thought I knock and check all was well - glad I did; she has a panic button and had hit that (accidentally) but now knows it works;)
    Anyway invited her in to look at kitchen - then she mentioned my hunt-across-three-counties for tiles (was it for the kitchen ones? No, that was the bathroom - and she hadn't seen that) and I took her up to see the bathroom. Neighbour is about my age BTW.
    Have also signed passport applications and pictures for the boys across the road. And eaten.

    Afternoon all

    Happy Birthday msgnomey :)

    I cleaned the bathroom and toilet this morning and vacuumed through downstairs. One load of washing done and dried on the line. Went out for my walk, got a newspaper to read when I got home. DD2 came in and we had a pootle round the shopping centre.
