    Bedroom and spare room all done; crate of jam stores tidied after extracting some greengage and some cherry for us to use; shredder emptied; aired washing removed from airing cupboard and put on end of bed for Mr LW to put away (it's all his clothes); washing done this morning removed from line and put in airing cupboard (more of Mr LW's stuff). I'm trying to fathom how I always seem to have 4 loads of his gear for every one of mine.:think:

    My shoes are all tidy and in their places, as are Mr LW's. None want repairing - he always takes his straight to the cobbler when they need doing, and of course, I simply don't wear shoes out! Also they are all clean - this is Mr LW's task, as cleaning shoes is a task I loathe with a passion - I'd sooner scrub the loo!:D

    Been to farm, only one quick shower, kids managed to see all the animals and had a good play in the park. Granny took tea towels to dry the slides too, yaay.

    DD had a small icecream, so we'll see how that affects her. She's only really been having butter so far, but she seems fine just now...

    Granny has spoilt the kids, DS got a dinosaur and a toy icecream van, and his cousins got 2 toys each too. DD hasn't got anything lol, because she was asleep...

    Tots are going to their other gran's this weekend, and I'm having a couple of days to myself. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing. I was supposed to be going on a hen night, but I've bottled out. Can't face the thought of it. It's my cousins fianc!e so not like I'll be missed...

    Clear floordrobe (don't have one, am being good since decorating)

    Dailies done, almost out of food so if tots are up early I think we might pop to mr a for a few supplies. Then we a planning a ip to feed the ducks and that's the last day my brother and family will be around, as they go to norfolk on sat, then back to Singapore. Tots will be sad to see their cousins go, they've got on brilliantly this week despite them only having met my eldest once, and my youngest not at all.

    Flying vibes to all

    Hi,

    I managed to get quite a bit of work done when kitty slept. Then i took Ds1 to the opticians, picked up Ds2 then came home and played monopoly with Ds2(we've paused the game and he is beating me by miles:cool:). I chucked tea in the oven, de pooed the litter tray again and took Ds1 to his friends. Then i finished off tea and scoffed it. I've not moved from the sofa since except to feed the kitten. Now i have loads to do still and i'm expecting a phone call from Ds1 to come and collect him any minute.

    Off to do a HHC if anyone wants to join me?
