    Welcome to all the new folk and :hello: to triker. Nice to 'see' you. :D

    After all my good intentions I've had an even less productive day so far. :o I know I'm on holiday, but I won't achieve my aims like this.

    Miserable day here with lots of drizzle (met office really getting it wrong at the moment), so DS2 and I won't be going for a walk. Might ring friend/colleague in a moment to see if we can come and visit once I've done a few HHC. DH won't be in until after 5.30 so it won't matter if we're not going until later. Could also visit MIL and call at the farm for eggs on the way.

    Going for a HHC or two now. Back in a bit to update list. :T

    ETA Runs to catch up with Nicky!

    I could be tempted to do a HHC if I have company.

    DS1 has gone to buy clothes for the 1st time with a friend :eek:
    I was taking DS2 to the cinema but he didn't wish to go.

    Thanks for the listy

    Hi All

    I am at work and little moo is with her granny. They have been shoe shopping apparently (for granny, who has been told she has to wear granny shoes now and isnt impressed). The spray stuff does numb I think, but you can definitely tell when the painkillers are wearing off.

    She had a better night, still disturbed sleep, but going back off quickly enough.
    Thanks for asking!

    I'm here till 3 so will see what the kitchen looks like when I get home, although granny is quite the neat freak, so we like that! Need to get a bit of washing on too, later on. Might have to go on airers by the looks of things.

    Lovely to see lots of new people posting!

    Hugs to all, sticks, spoons, smooches if ya need 'em

    Where's the day gone?:eek:

    Just a quick "Howdy" as I really didn't realise what time it is and have stuff to do.

    Welcome Badger and I do like that avatar!
    By the back door, there are :coffee: spare spoons, good vibes and a few self propelling sticks for the black dogs...:D

    Valli - school question - DS3 Yr5 going Yr6 has been set 4/5 books to read over the summer from a list of about 10 titles, all war related as prep for next year. Seems quite a lot for the summer to me when they have been given a project too, views?

    S&S bathroom and shower room
    Washed up
    WM on
    DW on
    Ironing done

    Going to do sorting next whilst Olympic viewing.

    Afternoon all :)
    This thread moves sooo fast! Erm pottered around a little bit yesterday and got some washing done but not as much as I wanted to/should have, (did watch quite a lot of Olympics with hubby which I really enjoyed :) ) Had an early morning this morning and sorted recycling, cleaned bin, fed doogs and cat :) De-poo'd lawn,de-cluttered and cleaned top and outside of washing machine and tumble drier, de-cluttered some stuff in pantry, made appointment with doc, threw out old food and dried clothes - all by 9.05 this morning so was quite pleased with that :) Have been making homemade tortilla wraps for kids which they loved - tried making tortilla chips with leftover dough and they were horrible :(
    Cuppa now, cook food for tea and then get on with some de-cluttering :)

    Before I go: Whoo-hoo well done mrsrobertson! Enjoy all your goodies :)

    Catch you all later, happy FLYing :)
