    Morning all.

    Upstairs loos and sinks done last night. DS kind of forced my hand with his bathroom habits. Yuk. Will do downstairs loo today. Towels are done too, now in airing cupboard to finish.

    Will give kids sweeper later, they enjoy that. Have a bit more cluttering in spare room cupboard tonight too. And will scrub bath tonight after I've dunked them...

    Need to take DS for his jabs and might take them for lunch after, and buy some milk. Also need rubber gloves...

    Sunshine here although the weather promised day long downpour. I wish they would get it right!

    I woke up at 4am when DD1 went to work. By 6 I was downstairs ironing so the basket is empty. DH did the school run. My stomach is telling me I'm hungry but I've had breakfast. I must not give in to the chocolate digestives.

    Off to maternity hospital today to get my pass and car park permit for my voluntary work at lunchtime. I'm meeting some of the other girls from my training group so it will be good to catch up. I need to put some slap on but I'm loathed to wear make up on days when I'm not working. If I don't tart up, I won't like my pass photo. Decisions!

    Morning all

    Paid stuff done for the week, it is pouring down here now, fortunately walked to and from work without getting wet.

    Off to do a a little Waitrose shop with DS2 who has applied for a part time job there.

    Friend coming for a cuppa later and I need to get DS2 to get his DofE ready for bag check tomorrow.

    Mine love Nemo! We watch it every day. I'm surprised it hasn't worn out.

    Just read the meters and submitted readings online. Hope they bring my payments down a bit, am paying £60 on each for the month at the mo.

    DS is wearing his bob the builder outfit, have had to fasten the dungarees halter-style as the straps don't reach down his back anymore. The good news is he's mended the fire engine, lol.

    DD is wearing his hard hat, along with her tutu and wellies. She looks a picture.

    We've just tidied a toy box, that used to be baby teddies, and is now the dressing up box. Can you tell?

    They have agreed to give the teddies away to the babies, but want to keep the waybuloo ones. Bless them!

    Time for a cuppa.
