Well, ironing pile done and girls clothes packed and that is it!!!

Really need to get my bum in gear, have to pop to the local shop yet too so that will take best part of an hour. Maybe as the kids stuff if packed I could just send them off to Butling with my MIL, FIL, SIL and NIL (Nan in law):eek: . Maybe this is why i just cannot get motivated, I am so [STRIKE]not[/STRIKE] looking forward to it. I get on with them all ok but I just know his Nan will kick off at some point because she cannot do certain things (she is 90 by the way) but then its not fair for FIL and MIL to miss out on spending time with the girls. Very hard work ahead I think.

Have decided I shall just have to spend the whole weekend in a slightly pickled state, that way everything should seem amusing:D

Right off to look for what I posted as my list of jobs for today, maybe a milky coffee will give me a kick in the right direction;)

Boy oh boy, is it the time of year or something?

I seem to be busy with everything except cleaning my house!

sigh

Trying to get back on the wagon again..
and trying to figure out what to fix for dinner.. any idea's?

Becca
Totally without inspiration.

pigpen

Windmill pie?? .. you get a bit if it goes round!

*sigh* I've barely done a thing again.. anyone got any rocket?? I only have parsley sage rosemary and lavendar.. no thyme.. never any thyme here!!

I lordy - I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOO done. Tomorrow will be my first repeat day - and I can't believe that what took me 3 hours last week will probably only take me 30 minutes (both boys at home not withstanding!) tomorrow.
No 27 fling boogie today as I reckon I've managed a 277 fling boogie every day so far and I'll tackle the paperwork file as soon as the boys are in bed... then its the ironing while watching the most inane rubbish I can find - and then bed, glorious bed!

Evening ladies, and flyboy who I know will be lurking somewhere

What a day! Just got boys settled as was swimming tonight and DS2 dozed off in the car, making him grumpy when we got back. Spent morning going through my car finding out what it needs for MOT, bought exhaust and brake shoes it needs, hopefully get those fitted Monday, so will be getting manky again.

Afternoon at opticians, that was my call I have been putting off, made an appointment after all these headaches etc and I need glasses, what a suprise! Been putting off going for 2 years.

Puppy seems to have caught kennel cough at the vets when she had her op, is coughing all the time, so will have to call the vets tomorrow.

Tomorrows list is up, final one for the week
