    Bossy kids home and fed, wup done, last of laundry hung on airer, toys everywhere but dry stuff all been put away.

    Tots playing up so they are both in my bed, I'll budge them soon, but I suppose they are settling back in... Bigger moo has his arm draped round little moo. Aww. I'm laid on spare bed until they nod off then a bit of a read and early night for me...

    Tomorrow might take them swimming, although DS said he missed his toys and just wants to play with them, so we may end up at home all day. Littlest moo clothes were in mums suitcase, so need to get them, although she did say she'd wash them with hers. And she's got my purse... And I, her passport, everything got shoved in to whatever bag was nearest coming home...

    Away with the fairies :beer:

  • DH took an axe to what i'd left of the two trees on the front so there are now gone, and the blackberry bramble has been tamed wit the metal frame my dad made for clematis to climb up. love the blackberries we get but didnt want the front looking like a wilderness, because i had to prune it back a bit to get it in the frame ill wont get any fruit next year buy ill be able to keep it under control now i hope and get the garden looking nice.
    plodding through the bedrooms list so should have it all done by tomorrow night ready to start next week again with a clear slate
