    Well I actually had a lie-in this morning as kids didn't get up until 6.20.:j
    But DS was up for about 2 hours in the night.:mad:

    I should be able to get quite a bit done today as I have about 4 kid free hours on a Thursday!

    DD's bedroom is still a tip although I spent last Thursday on it as well.

    I also want to hoover through and maybe get some ironing done.

    We've got to take the youngest dog (she's 11) to the vets tonight as she's got a growth on her leg. I hope she's going to be alright I don't think I can cope with losing another dog so soon after the last one.

    Anyway better get the kids sorted and ready for school/preschool.

    Catch you all later

    Pigpen - hope you pick yourself up by your bootstraps soon. Nothing worse than feeling like that. (((hug)))

    All I managed to do this afternoon was boogie one room. Ended up working the rest of the time for OH. Came home, showered and went straight to puppy preschool. Now I've got half an hour to relax before picking up #4 son from work. A shop has a sale on tonight - going to hopefully get some cheap winter sweatshirts for the boys before we come home.

    Hope you are feeling perkier soon Pigpen - I know I haven't 'chatted' to you before as I'm new round these parts but wanted to give you virtual hug. I'm up and down myself this week. Think it's 'cos I'm on the verge of ending my current relationship (only 6 months or so) 'cos I'm really not getting what I need but I keep talking myself out of it and then talking myself back into it and my head is all over the place.
    Anyway, I digress :) Hope you feel better as the day goes on and you get some things ticked off your list.
