flying - DDs bed changed (by DD)
toilet roll holder refilled by DD (tis a stacker;))
washing (not a lot) got pegged out and blown, I ironed it as I have the heating on so decided to iron/air it.
My bed changed (by me) - bedding in WM ready to run later.
DD didn't fancy helping me shop so I will do that tomorrow when I take her to work, all being well.
Threw a banana cake together before the ripe bananas I brought home from work on Tuesday were hauled out of the door by the fruit flies.

I'm hoping to get Ionafan's cake made (the rhubarb and ginger variation) this weekend.

DS has manflu so we are all switching into major incident mode now :rotfl: Lemsip max strength have been found (hopefully he is too bleary-eyed to read use by date;) It is, of course, my fault as I infected him;)
I'm going to take some parrots and use the nebuliser before bed. Stomach muscles are tender. But I am feeling like my perky self almost!

Oh DS has been given a bargain - DD and I had chippy tea (minifish - 1 each and 1 portion of chips between us) - so gave him and GF the same money - they got a free fish as the chippy was getting ready to close!

Pinkfairy - forum crashed earlier! I got that message too!

Bossy.. She is looking very grown up!! Has she read Slinky Malinki? of the same series of books? It is quite definitely one of my favourites!

1 square of the blanket done for the baby... 79 more to do!!!! It didn't take long at all really and is very simple and pretty..

ionafan

When DH got up this morning I rolled over and asked the time - "Ten to seven" - so I got up. Why is it that, one cup of tea and umpteen web pages later, all the clocks in the house now say 6.30? Oh well, I needed to make an early start :rotfl::rotfl:

Glad you're beginning to feel better, Valli. Ginger is excellent for people with chesty coughs and bunged-up heads, so put plenty in!
FFP - your OH is obviously on the mend if he's able to get up and shout at other people! Sorry to hear about your DD's problems at school - sounds like the school are trying to clamp down now, but never let them be complacent.
Lovely photo, bossy!
macpep - your pocket money plan seems to be working :cool:
aj - glad to hear your DH and son got on well - enjoy this evening!
nicki - I am jealous of you with your new iron

Things to be done today:
- list 2 items free on eB@y (not much left to declutter from the house now!)
- strip bed
- 4x WM (weather forecast is for sunshine all day)
- write list and shop (the fridge, freezer and cupboards are almost bare)
- mustn't forget to buy wrapping paper for DGS1's birthday present!
- be back in time for 2 sold items to be collected between 11 and 1
- clean all through downstairs (3 friends coming for a farewell meal this evening)
- prepare main course and find wine (one kind friend is bringing hm cheesecake for dessert nom-nom)
- make up bed so that I can just fall into it tonight after we've imbibed a few bottles of wine between us :beer:
- finish and mail newsletter and nominations forms for AGM
- take photos, finish leader's notes and relevant forms, and pack boxes for new course
- think where we might take friend and her 7yo DD for a picnic on Monday - possibly a National Trust place, as we're all members :money:
- sort out what we need to take for visits to DGS3 and DGD1+2 on Tuesday and outing with DGS1+2 on Wednesday :j:j
- remember to pack form for solicitor so that exchange of contracts on our sale can be carried out on Tuesday or Wednesday :T hopefully followed almost immediately by exchange on our purchase :T
- make a decision on removals - all systems are GO for the 12th

Best get started, then!
