    I'm still ironing, nearly finished DD's. She will have enough uniform till some time next week, brownie uniform for the next few weeks and I am packing for the weekend. I ordered some bits for her from ebay and they were immaculate when I had them........DD has worn them a couple of times down the van and got some small stains on them..........they are good enough for the van though so as I'm ironing them, I'm putting them to one side........one less thing to do on Friday....................back to the board............xx

    Hi All :hello:

    Hope you are all well. Honey Bear thank you for your PM, I have replied :A
    Dusty – Thanks for lists this week & keeping thread going :A

    Well I got back from Alton Towers yesterday afternoon, family came round so we could give DD her cake. Finally got rid of everyone around 8.30 then mad rush to get school & work things etc all ready. Procedure went ok, pre-med was not as bad as I thought it would be, procedure itself was ok but I did wake up 3 times in agony thinking my insides were being ripped out!
    Anyway, I am in this week, got a good bit done Thursday night whilst waiting on meds to start working, also a bit done before family came round.

    My MIL was watching the kitten & she decided to tidy my DD’s room as it was her birthday, she was there for 3.5 hours!!! That was just picking stuff up & putting away & hoovering, we shall see how long it will last!
