    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 well
    Trying to keep in budget.

    So far today, I've deflead DS and started on my Beavers' paperwork. I need to do DD's hair when she gets up and mine at some point. I've also got loads of paperwork to do before my Beaver meeting tonight. I also need to ring Orange as my phone isn't working.

    Mumto5 - enjoy yourself today!

    Piggers - hope you had a better night's sleep.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    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.

    DS2 can help me with the LR floor and DS1 is hoping to fit in a haircut before his interview tomorrow. :j
