Morning, littlest moo has been up since 5.30 :eek: but we are still lazy in bed, watching postman pat and timmy time lol.
My bathrooms are ok so am having a day off, but I will probably change our toothbrushes...
Our plan today is get the garden furniture and toys out, and maybe a spot of weeding. Also need to cook the chicken I defrosted yesterday, and have 1 more wm load to see to.
Other than that, we'll be playing (or laying) in the sun!
Have a good day, all xBossymoo

Morning all, boys played up abit last night and are very tired this morning. So i think i'll stop Rhys's nap later and see if he settles better.
KD (kids dad) is to appear tonight to spend some time with them. He's been living at PIL's, so close enough for the kids but away from me. He of course is still full of big gestors about how he'll make things right, how sorry he is and how he'll change. (rolly eyes). Anyway he's got a job, started last week so first pay check tomorrow, he say's he's paying money for the kids and money to me for what he owes me. To be honest i'm just sticking to my own budget and if he does keep his word (it would be a first) then it will be a bit extra for the kids.
Right back to flying, anyone fancy a HHC at 8.30 ??Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.And things go wrong no matter what I do.Now and then it seems that life is just too much.But you've got the love I need to see me through.:j :j0 -
I've got 3 days' worth of catching up to do, following a shoulder injury - just a pulled muscle, but it's been agony. Maybe something to do with all that knitting! I promise to take things slowly and carefully today.
There was heavy mist an hour ago, but that has all cleared now, the sky is blue and the sun is shining (not that we can see too much of it yet as the oak woods keep us in shadow until about 10.00 am) so it's a good day for hanging out the washing.
Yesterday I did manage to get into town and buy some good concert tickets (not too heavy to carry!) and did the weekly shop, or else we would have been right out of fruit and veg. I also met a friend for coffee at the garden centre, which was an hour well spent. And I made 20 greetings cards yesterday evening. The house looked after itself.
DH wasn't in the mood to do more than washing up after tea - he has a visit from the BD, and although we'd had a really good weekend and I thought he had turned a corner, he is really down again today.
(((Hugs))) and GWS wishes to everyone who needs them.0
