    Kids have been fighting :(

    No cupboards done, back too sore. Have been making a stop motion animation film with DS2.

    Parents visited to see if we could link the 3ds to their wifi. Sadly it didn't work there either.

    Dinner eaten and cleared away.

    They say it comes in 3’s, my washing machine last month, my hoover & then the dishwasher door last night, it still works, just need to put a chair against the door to keep it closed! ]

    My DW has the need of a chair as well.

    lamewolf I hope you get some short notice dogsitting bookings. I would be thrilled to find someone like you in my local area. Judging by the doggy tales you share its a 5 star stay for our best four legged friends.

    Our cat Misty has reclaimed her favourite spot now that Poppy the dog has returned to her owner. It's the middle of the 2 seater sofa in the kitchen.

    Minimal flying, but loads of laundry gathered from various childrens bedrooms and the bathroom floor. DH has been WFH today and he cleaned the kitchen in his lunch break.

    I have learned a lesson today. Drink the whole bottle of wine. The fridge is full and when DH got the milk out the half full wine bottle lifted as well. It smashed on the floor :-(

    The kitchen floor was washed with wine today :rotfl:

    Note to self P2

    Been coughing and spluttering all day - my name will be mud is the little darlings are ill over half term.

    Mum's away (dad too - they've gone to TootsLand and Macpep Land and Crafty Land and G&B land - three fondly remembered flyladies and one who still flies) so won't be doing the Vallikids tea so I have nipped to mr M (needed fuel anyway) and bought meat for a stew,. Veg all prepped and in fridge to go in SC in the morning; dumplings made - some frozen some will be popped into stew by DS who luffs 'em (I luffs Pigger's spelling of that< word!) and the kids can each fill a giant Yorkie with stew and I don't need to worry.

    I gotto iron now...

    and log out and shut down cos I can't log onto e bay again:mad: and I have stuff ending soon!

    Thanks for last week JJ and this week Dusty and SNOW? SRSLY?
    I thought we were having an Indian summer this week - must have got the wrong indigenous group and we're having an ESKIMO one then!
