    Glad they relented pigpen and are letting her go on the trip x

    We've had sleep! Woot!

    I've got a list of what to pack, and we'll do easy food today, so just need to keep on top of toys. Need to wash my hair, too...

    Right, I will take these beasties down for breakfast...

    Hope the sun keeps shining for you, deco. And the rest of you, too! Mwah.

    Washing number 1 on line number 2 in the machine. Have got washed and dressed, found £10 in my jeans pocket that's been washed and ironed! Nearly finished clearing LR and scullery then I will go do DDs wardrobe and tidy her room while I'm there will leave DS2s till he's here and he can help.
    Think I might need an another coffee and then I will get going again.

    morning all
    glad your DD is back on the school trip pigpen, hope she has a great time. my DS seems to have slept off whatever it was he came home with last night, he slept for 3 hours had a bath a bowl of cereals and went sleep again then slept till 7 this morning, he seemed much better when he got up so ive let him go, and his sister and fiance gave him a lift to school so he didnt have to lug his rucksack all the way there.
    twittered Eddie last night, havent heard off DD2 yet how show went or if they saw their message. babysitting went ok for DS1 luckily kids didnt wake so he didnt have to ring me.
    will seem strange not having DS2 here all weekend.
    just had a freind round to print some job applications off as shes not got a printer, that made me get on with flying early so downstairs looks ok and ive dysoned all through the whole house.

    hugs good wishes positive vibes and healing thoughts where needed
