    Good morning all,

    WE had a grumpy household this morning, think everyone is a bit tired and both needing a few early nights to catch up! I hate when you start the day like that though - it sets you up for the rest of the day :(

    However, I have
    decluttered LO off to school,
    WM filled and on.
    Sink filled for dishes
    Dry laundry collected and folded for ironing.


    Off to get on with my lists now :)

    HHC if anyone is with me??
    :)Sometimes lurking, sometimes posting, but always flying:)

    Morning ladies

    Good luck to those fetching exam results today, fingers crossed they get what they want/need.

    Pigpen - 6 hours is hardly enough, any chance of a catnap today you sound like you still need one alond with a couple of parrots.

    Slow start here today on top of yesterdays not much. Met a friend at lunchtime and had a couple then left him and DH for another ocuple while DD and I went shopping. DH finally rolled in at 745 after much searching for him :mad: so not a lot was achieved.

    Have instructed the idle kids that its tidy up time from 11 o clock so that should be a laugh seeing who actually gets out of their pit to help, and I dont suppose DH will help a lot as although he isnt suffering from yesterday, he is still 'convalescing', cheeky blighter.

    So looks like I'll be on my own again so better go get dressed.

    Have a good day all you flying xxx

    > all A*s and As.

    Well done Dustykitten's DS2. Good luck to all others getting results today.

    Glad you got some sleep, pigpen.

    In my HHC I
    - S&S'd bathroom
    - washed bathroom floor
    - hoovered all upstairs
    - emptied bins
    - sorted clothes (mine and DH's) - some to CS later, some to eBay later when I've done the library course on how to do it!
    - decluttered my desk
    - wrote card to my DS2 and packaged up his Cub badges which were cluttering my desk ever since I declutted my sewing box (DS2 is now 34 years old!!!) - will post them when I go out to shops
    - S&S'd utility room

    Now off to make a coffee (anyone joining me?) and will carry on with odd jobs until about 11.30, then intend to hit town, buy DD's birthday present, go to the market for curtain tape and lining, and deliver a package to a friend who lives in the town centre.

    This afternoon the patio *will* finally be cleared of the rest of the grass that's growing between the slabs (garden waste bin was emptied yesterday so there is now room for the next lot of rubbish) and hopefully I will get our autumn pansies planted out too. DH chose white with yellow centres and I chose dusky pink and cream with dark centres - they are very beautiful, strong plants and were on special offer.
