    I've walked the dogs, put the recycling out, and vaccuumed the living room. Second of the dog beds in the washer. Paid stuff now. Have a good day everyone and I'll catch up with you later.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    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.

  • GI which part of the states are you visiting? Hope you have a great time.

    Everybody home now so DH is putting DS3 to bed, just a pot to wash in the kitchen and then I'm off to bed to.

    Rowantree I'm off to the Olympic Park tomorrow so surely will be back in the gold medal position.

    Ooh, I am so envious! Have a fabulous time and - wait for me - she said - running right after you - I want that Gold!! X

  • Hi all. Gosh, I'm late starting today - it looks like a lot of you are well ahead of me.

    I'm off lists again today as this is the final run to get the place sorted before we fly (out) on Saturday.

    Had breakfast, fed cat and birds, and OH is under starter's orders! He's going to high-dust, do windows sills and pull out seating in conservatory, then get us a light lunch before I go to work.

    I'm going to dust, clean bathroom and kitchen units, then clean conservatory before lunch. He'll then do garden while I'm at work and I can then carry on with my Olympic events tonight!

    That's the theory! I'll report back the progress later!,

    Warm wishes to everyone, especially to all those feeling poorly or have BD visiting their homes. And Vanilla, you have done so much and come so far, coping with all that's been thrown at you - I can feel that determination coming through in your words. I do hope you get something from the KD to treat them. X

    Everyone up and fed and watered and dentist visited.. DS2 is paying for the refusal to brush teeth and needs 5 fillings.. maybe he will now listen when I tell him he needs to brush them!! They whizzed one of DD3's baby teeth out as the new one was growing out the side of her gum so hopefully it will pop through in line now.

    Cuppa time and then I can make a start on the hovel clearance! I want to get some ebay pics done so I can do listings while at OH's mums next week... hopefully I'll have some stuff to post when I get back.. :D

    Pigpen, your DS2 sounds just like my DS2 - who is now a dentist!
