Good morning. I have a busy day planned, mainly in the Garden as I'm hoping it won't be too hot. I also want to sort and label up DDs clothes ready for a table top sale in a couple of weeks, and bag up some toys to sell.
Will do the usual daily stuff as wellTrying to keep in budget.

Piggers I hope you had a restful night. How you stayed awake that long without killing anyone (esp at pharmacy) I don't know :eek:

Off to work now so will see what I can get done later.*If you have nothing nice to say... say nothing*"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." Martin Luther King Jr0 -
Well Squeak was up at 3am lmao.. I had already told OH I was, under no circumstances, getting up in the night so he had been in bed about 5 minutes and she woke up so he had to get up with her... he came to bed at 7 when the girls got up and were playing with Squeak... Dot woke a couple of times coughing and went back over, she got up about 5 for a feed and for once went back to sleep until half 7 when I got them both up.. so OH is in bed and I am just going to dress these 2 short things and I'll walk DD3 to summer school and he can stay in bed a bit... because I am nice!
As a result of 6 hours sleep I now have a pounding headache and a sore eye... very pretty it looks!
DS2 off for results and drop forms in at college and DD2 and her friend who stayed over are in the shower but will be gone out soon no doubt.
When I get back I'll crack on with the cupboard of mouse poo... and worry about the flour and stuff in the cupboard next to it tomorrow

Thanks for the offer, pigpen. DS2 is not particularly anti-red/pink, but I think he'll draw the line at school coats in those colours.
ETA Thank you for the tip, dancemum. Will go off to research Decathlon before getting ready.
I really must achieve more today, although I'll be off to school for a nosy at results once DH is back from his two appointments.
