    Tosses stick for any BDs out there.

    Done an hour pottering in the garden.

    DS1 happy enough with his exam.

    DS2 tried on his suit and the trousers don't fit already (purchased in March for 6th form interview). So happy he has had a big growth spurt as he has always been very small but need to try to get new troussers now by Friday for his interview.

    Gin was out before 8am this morning - cat had a tick.

    Hi all

    Kitchen and dining all done. Not sorted a drawer but did 3 cupboards at weekend thanks to creepy crawlies. Also de-shoed the shoe cupboard of too small ones. Washed and ready to pass on / sell.

    Black bin emptied today. Wish it was green bin day - its chockablock and I have more to go...
    Laundry up to date except ironing. CBA. Going for a nap as full of cold and feel yuk.

    So sorry about your friend, mummyof5 x

    I have made a start on the kitchen worktops but there is so much carp in there its taking a while!!!

    Hi All :wave:

    Posting from the paid stuff as usual. Last night I managed to fold & put away the 4 loads of washing done yesterday, I had 2 ready for OH to hang out & had sorted the other 2 for him to put in machine. I also done 2 x HHI’s, quick tidy up of kitchen & quick S & S of bathroom after DS had painted the place with bubbles whilst in the bath :eek: and & quick tidy round of LR before bed. Thanks for all the hugs for wee pepper, It will just take time to get used to. :( Sofas will be done tonight, I will aim for one chair per set of adverts. If its deleted its done!

    I have nurse at 5.20 this evening for Asthma check up but OH will have my dinner ready so I can just carry on with 2 x HHI’s @ 6.30 & 7.00. Anything else on list will be done after that.

    mummyof5Sorry to hear of your friends loss, its horrible, I had MC at 14 weeks.

    Greenbee aww, poor you; I hope it's not the same migraine I had the other day, that was vile! GWS.

    Sid's been out and I've persuaded him to eat some food. He's sleeping beside the sofa now. I think he'd actually like to be on the sofa, but he's no longer able to jump up, and I daren't risk lifting him, in case I drop him (shoulder still giving me hell) so he'll have to be content with the floor and me getting down there with him to give him a cuddle.:o

    Little darling insisted on sleeping in the bedroom last night (apparently at home, he has his bed in his owners' bedroom at night) so I had snoring in stereo to listen to.:cool:

    DD2 seems happy enough with the exam today.:beer: Only General studies left now!:j She has had a potter on Facebook (legit now given the exam status);), watched the David Tennant programme I recorded on Sunday night and disappeared to work!

    Sadly she seems to have taken the sun with her!

    Mummyof5 - hugs and prayers for your friend.

    LW - snoring in stereo? Sounds like my worst nightmare!

    I'm off for another cuppa and may then strip some beds - the weather forecast after tomorrow is dreadful...
