    Mrs MP.. My great grandmother had 7 children.. the first she was married and he was killed during WW1 and the younger 6 were all illegitimate and their dad had 3 families from what we can make out all with children of the same names.. 3 Tony's, 3 Sheilas etc... and all with red hair!!! It used to be fairly the norm for the husband to take the oldest daughter as his new 'wife' and she would bear her fathers children before she married herself.

    Bills sorted.. christmas shopping sorted.. mostly..

    Squeak just got up!!! and has major bedhead!

    Well we're all dressed, me after shower, tots have woollies on today brrr. Wm on, and I took down the front door curtain and sponge cleaned the back (DS hid behind with an icecream lol) and wiped the dust off the top. I've re-hung now, was going to run through the washer but it's fairly new and looks fine.
    They are fed (twice so far!) and we just waiting for mil before we go swimming.
    Oh and we made all the beds and hoovered upstairs.
    Feeling better today, I think...

    Morning all

    CY hugs for DD, DS1 is not off to uni, same reason heart not in it. He has gone bowling this morning with a group who are all off to uni. They are all saving money for that so don't want to spend much but he doesn't get it. He asked me to drive him down there as he was late and I said no. DS2 manages to be at the bus stop at 7:50 to go to school and DS3 to leave here at 8:30 to go to the school shop for his monitor role so no way am I taking him into town to meet friends.

    Mrs MP you have to tread so carefully with family histories don't you. My Mum is not really interested in hers and the bit I found out, and from research is true, she doesn't really care about as it doesn't fit the story her Sister told her. I don't bother sharing it anymore.

    Glazier been to measure up to change the glass in the dining room french door then we can paint them and get the decorating finished in this room. Still need to choose curtains.

    I need to do a load of Governor paperwork now before walking with my friend at 12:00
