  • Morning everyone (can't believe I'm up first!!)

    We're off to Wales today, back Wednesday evening, then I'm working all day Thursday & Saturday so I'll fit in what I can from the week's lists next Fri & Sun.

    So glad to hear Mr LW is recovering, I have been thinking of him, and you of course LW, and sending you both calming healing vibes xx

    Love, hugs, sticks, spoons, kicks & sloppy kisses all round. Have a good week all!!

    Hope all those going on holiday have a lovely time.

    Having wardrobe delivered today for DS bedroom (very MSE, as it was my from one of my parent's spare rooms it was free). My brother is delivering it and is going to help me take the top bunk of Ds's bunkbeds. Hopefully it will make the room look bigger. Going to start decorating DS's bedroom next week, so might only manage levels one and two next week.

    Have a family party to attend this afternoon which I am looking forward to.

    WM is on, going to strip DS bed and then wash bedlinen, rug and curtains.

    Hope everyone has a great weekend and the sun keeps shining x

    Morning everyone. Hope all who are going away have a great time.

    I have woken up feeling lazy this morning, which can't be good. This week I did no flying Mon/Tues, did some around the paid stuff Wed/Thu and yesterday, the paid stuff completely took over for hours and hours and hours, but I did get some ironing done, and made the HHMe time HH dog grooming time.

    This is what I should be doing today:

    Weekly shop
    2 x dog walks
    Cut grass back & front
    Weeding
    Bath two of the dogs

    That's it. Catch you all later.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Sammy Kaye, I am worn out just reading your update! Way to go.

    Right, I'm going to eat and get dressed and then get started on my list.

    Hope everyone away on holidays has a fab time.

    I'm having a very lazy morning, only 2 kids up so far. Not sure what the plan is today but the whole house is just a mess..:eek: Why is it kids can undo any amount of flying in a few hours. :(

    So weekend will be getting organised for next week, really looking forward to helping at the summer scheme and hopefully with us all away the house will stay tidier for longer. :D

    Right i better shift and do something...:rotfl:
    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.
