afternoon all
sorry JJ im nowhere near ipswich either glad to hear hes back home with you lots of tlc on your lists for the weekend
bossymo extra hugs for you my brave love feel proud of yourself for getting through the day, it brought a lump to my throat when i read about the flowers so of course they would have made you cry but i hope some were tears of happy memories. the love you shared lives on inside you and your children.
hope all are well
had another game of extreme furniture tetris again this morning but today gave myself the added challenge of lugging a fishtank full of water across the room so it could swap places with an armchair, then the piano swapped places with the bookcase and the 2 settees decided they would be happier in each others spaces. i think im happy now. As the mice now live in the hall i clean them out did two loads of washing have bought the chips in to clean out the tortoise and eaten the frog that was lurking under the fishtank and the other on the chiar behind the door.
cant believe how much ive achieved off the lists without even seening them, and double bonus the lounge looks nice and tidy for the bank holiday weekend. even the bathrooms looking better with 2 loads of laundry done and another load hidden in the machine for overnight.
ive even been round mils and done an hours weeding and clean the guttering out on her garage:A

Good progress being made at Fresian Towers. Massive pot of bolognaise also made and a second load of washing is whizzing around as I type. I will definitely get the "me time" done tonight but can't clear out the cat tray until the sodding binmen have been and they seem to have changed their route so that they only get to us at 9pm on a Friday night :eek:0 -
its just started raining here (again) so ive done the dash into the garden and saved my alomst dry washing.
tea on elder ds fed as hes out before us tonight, we are going to watch him in a school concert so wont be about tonight or much over the weekend.SPC~12 ot 124

All done here although I only had the tv to dust anyway lol.
Took the tots to supermarket this morning, they were very good, so I told them they could have a hm chocolate lolly after lunch. I make them myself as dd can't have milk, and doesn't like the dark choc ones you can buy. So I buy her "free from" milk choc in bars, and melt 2 squares in a silicone mini muffin tray, and stick DS's ice lolly sticks in. She's too little for ice lollies, but loves the idea of the stick, so we have to oblige, lol.
Done loads of cooking today, I also do a batch of mash for her with oatly cream substitute, and freeze in portions, plus some other bits and bobs. So the catering is done for the weekend, we are pretty clean and tidy and we can just have FUN!!!
Thanks to all for the messages of support. You really have no idea how much it means to me, in a world of chaos, you guys keep me sane xxxBossymoo

Evening all!
Well. I've been keeping to my own lists the last 2 days as I had to get the house acceptable for tomorrow as my aunt is coming over to dog sit.
I have done a proper spring clean of the whole downstairs and done lots of batch cooking to use up my Tesco vouchers. We now have about 3 weeks meals all cooked and frozen and I still have a bit more to do!
I'll be pleased to be back on list next week as it does keep more order to the house. Thanks Dustyand JulieJim for writing the lists to keep me on track.
JulieJim - pleased your DH is out of hospital. I'm an hour away but have only just seen the thread.
See you Sunday - we have a day out with the in-laws tomorrow :eek:

Apparently KH is going to go for custody of the children... because I refused to give him the address of DD2's friend where DD2 is staying the night (he wanted to go round and make a scene! The parents have been foster carers for many years I think someone might have noticed if they were murderers by now!) and because I didn't force her to go to his against he wishes.. the reply ' be my guest, I look forward to having a social life and not having to do school runs' was not the right answer.. my bad!
Apparently him having parental responsibility means I have to ask him every time one of them wants to stay over with anyone else and he has to give them permission to stay here when it is 'his days'... yeah.. ok..
While you're at the solicitors will you just sign the court papers you are supposed to have signed a year ago please
