    Fresh air is good for mogs :D I know it's hard to disturb them but lists are lists go on shoooooo get that bed stripped and the floor hoovered (they'll still love you).

    Osteo torture session complete. Bed stripped, WM1 on line, about to reload and then see how much grass cutting I can do before any rain comes down.

    Greetings Flyfriends;:wave:

    Lounge Day in the Wolf's Lair, but one of the official Extras is relevant to me – I've almost completed my tax self-assessment form, just need to check it over for errors and submit it. I was going boss-eyed by the time I finished it yesterday, so decided to save it and check it over again when I'd had a break from it.;)

    Valli so sorry to hear that another child has lost a parent. :(

    Rowan tree lol my DH is known here and at his office as the Tea Monster.:D I usually let him make the tea, apart from when he's actually working from home and therefore too busy, as he does it better than me. We always use loose leaf tea, too, at his insistence, and there are always at least three types of tea in the cupboard, our “staples” being Breakfast Tea, Earl Grey and Green Tea.:o

    I think I'm in need of one of Pigpen's bum rockets today; I've dealt with the early-morning trauma of getting Mr LW out of the door on time, done a machine load of washing and draped it over various airers indoors (I refuse point blank to do the Washing Hokey Cokey), fed and been out with Dilly, and cooked the spuds for potato salad, and have absolutely no energy left.:cool: Not helped by having to do everything one-handed. With my right hand, and I'm left-handed, too. I'll be dusting around the largest dragons again, methinks!:D
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    I'm not long up the delivery man woke me with DD's school clothes thats great service ordered Sunday night :T So we have had a fashion show and everything fits so just need to put past now. On the agenda today is square up the devistation left by OH and DS1 when they left this morning:eek:
    I'm so angry DS1 came home with a black eye told me he hit himself with a spanner, I have since found out that the spanner is OH's best pals son who is 26 and has a kid of his own:mad::mad: He will be getting a mouthful when I see him and he can't avoid me as he stays 2 doors away.:mad::mad:

    I suppose I should take a leaf out of DD's book and get started she's tidying round her room! I better get washed and dressed first that would be a start......off I go!

    Not enough progress being made here. Shopping delivered and put away and kitchen done except for the floor but it's taken all morning to achieve that - so much for making the most of my day at home! 2 hours until I need to leave for school pick up - I feel a few HHCs coming on! Anyone care to join me in my first HHC starting at 1.15pm?
