    Morning all, bit of a go very slow here this morning. Not sure what the plans are today so we'll just have to see what been done later.

    Mumto5 thought are with baby William xx
    Kazm flip sounds awful, hope he gets seen very soon.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Nothing new to report here this morning. Having a really grotty day today, so will be taking things a bit easier I shall be home alone this afternoon so I may get some sewing done and I have got a box of 'stuff' that needs sorting out, so may do that too.

    DH has pushed the sucky up thing around and loaded the d/w. I have to be better tomorrow for a day of 'flying' because now we are 'doing IT' the difference is staggering and we must keep it up.

    Have a good day everyone xx

    Still beating the garden into submission, although I now really need some help as i've got to the difficult bits! I weeded the patio, and as most of the 'weeds' were aquilegias I have transplanted them to the newly dug bed at the back. I need help edging the bed (and more bricks), and then clearing the bit that isn't going to have plants in. The shrubs need cutting back and stumps removing (some shrubs aren't staying) so I can create narrow beds against the fences and start training them against the fence rather than letting them ramble. There is also a pile of rubble to remove and logs to sort out... And once all that's done we can work out whether we can put down decking up there.

    Weather in all three work destinations next week is in the mid/high 20s so not sure what to travel in or pack. But at least I have the spare bed to pack on now! It does make life easier.

    Miserable and cold here. Better put the washing out and then see what more I can get done outside...

    Right..
    table in the back room cleared
    ...and filled with 3 boxes of ebay stuff.
    Bookcase emptied and refilled
    ...and at least 35 torn books flung and 3 to go to DS1.. 1 was his favourite book when he was very small.

    I unpacked 2 boxes of books from when we moved in here 7 years ago! I have 1 more huge box of books still packed up and we do have bookcase space I just need to do a spot of reshuffling.

    mopped half the kitchen floor and wiped the wood tread bits of the stairs.. they have been irritating me for weeks!

    Off to rejig laundry, hang some more out possibly and mop some more floor... then sort through ebay stuff.. :D

    Kitchen sorted, tots chucked into garden and wellies got out.

    Planted our daddy tree, lol, it looks a bit lop sided now. Maye there was a bit of air underneath on one side... We have a plaque on its way, and I'll find something to stake it with.

    Also done weeding, sown a few more seeds, topped up the muck on our spuds and swept the bark off the path. Again.

    Tots fed, one bundled into buggy for nap, other trying to squeeze as many toys as he can onto the rug...

    Taking littlest to a party this afternoon, eldest staing with granny for a couple of hours. I wasn't expecting youngest to have party invites yet. Didn't think they really had "friends" at two. Well, she is not yet two. Assume the birthday boy is two... Anyway, I'll stop waffling now.

    Hi,
    Im usually lurking on this thread but wanted to encourage LameWolf to post. I fear that she might have been frightened off by a rather insensitive post on another thread - not OS board. I will very much miss you if you stop posting and those thoughts are not representative of how I perceive you and Im sure I wont be alone in thinking this my OS friend x
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
