    Evening all

    All I have done today flywise is clean the bucket which catches the manky water from the leaking DW pipe :cool: And I have worked hard all day in the shop. And bought chinese takeaway and cava... to celebrate DS getting A*A*AA :beer: I am a very proud Mum *wipes away tear*

    Lovely to see Samuel smile :) Welcome home pigpen x

    LW as others have said, back to work interview is standard procedure so nothing to fret about x

    funfairprincess DD looks beautiful and happy to be going to school. So, was it today they went back? :rotfl: My big DD is back in 2 weeks time. Summer holidays are FAR too long...

    Wondering whether to google 'fake naked men in Cardiff' :think: Prob best not, methinks.

    Love, hugs, sticks, spoons, slaps and slurpy sloppy kisses all round

    Valli.. I waved to you as we drove through your neck of the woods.. We visited the girls godfather on the way home in Chesterfield so went over the Peaks rather than saddleworth like we normally do.

    Morning all. Think I'm first up and on here today, how sad. Didn't realise some of you are taking a day off!

    Well I have the paid stuff today. About to clean downstairs loo and vaccuum through. Will then walk dogs. Will see what I can fit in from the list, and will take a lunch break today to do some ironing.

    I got absolutely no flying done yesterday.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Hmm. Tot free and woke at 6.30. Lazed, sort of thinking what will I do whilst waiting for euros to be delivered, and postie arrived! So I don't need to wait in.

    So my plan is
    Shower
    Collect parcel from depot, my new ghds hurrah splashed out for once instead of the cheapie version
    Get some veg in for weekend from aldi
    Strip and remake all beds, including spare
    Tidy dd bedroom, did DS last night but omg when I saw her floor I just shut the door lol. Will prop only take 10min if I get on with it...
    Bit of ironing, there isn't loads.
    Collect tots after lunch
    Do a bit more in garage later. It going great, flung some old mostly empty paint tins, have two bags of DH shoes, including his big workboots. Might take them to cash for clothes... He'd be telling me to get a few quid for them if I can, bless him.

    I think that's enough, I should paint the shed door, but it looks like rain so I'd better leave it, lol

    Morning All

    Well I survived having 11 of DS2's friends yesterday. The playroom looks like a bomb has gone off in it and the kitchen needs a little attention but it's not too bad on the whole. I have tonsilitis and didn't sleep too well last night so I think I will be realistic and just do what needs doing today:

    DS1 orthodontics appt
    Iceland
    Tesco
    Ely to buy replacement toy for DS2
    Dr's if not better this afternoon

    See you later!
