    Good morning ladies.

    DS1 has stayed out of my way. He assumes I'm going to shout at him but I'm not angry. He picked a fight with DS2 which resulted in a bleeding nose and another upset man/child.

    DH has talked to him on the phone. He's told him there is no free ride from here on in and that he has to get a job. He's got to leave the house by 9am and stay out of my way. The BD is snapping àt my heels. I have a drs appt tomorrow. I think I need a double appointment.

    I'm home today to catch up with the washing/flying. I also want to sweep the front drive and tidy the patio up. Is it too early to get the garden furniture out?

    mumto5 hugs to you and i hope everything works out ok for you all and DS finds something paid to do quickly.
    CY our primary sides with a park and we get occasional probs with Divs throwing bottles or bags of dog poop over the fence, cant quite understand the mentality of it myself.

    Morning all

    Went to bed early last night without tidying the kitchen so I've done that so far this morning. Going to put wm on then have a shower. Aim today is solely paperwork and gardening (my own plus paid job next door). DS1 not working until this afternoon so I'm going to get him to help me by cutting the back grass and tidying the front edges.

    Mumto5 good luck at the GPs

    Morning all. So far today I've hoovered downstairs, made pizza dough for tonight's tea, washed up and put dishes away, walked the dogs and done some paperwork.

    Paid stuff now beckons, will see what I can do from the list later.
    Have a great day everyone, spoons for those who need them. In abundance here as pain has subsided a bit more today.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Off for a shower, then pegging the washing out before I leave for work.
