    Hi all

    Kiddies are at inlaws now (DS said are you going soon, mum? I said I was drinking a cup of tea and he told me to take it with me :rotfl:).

    Stopped at m@talan on way home - MIL wanted one of their beach towels she'd been admiring, and I looked for some holiday shirts for DS but nothing. They had them for the under 5s and the over 8s. But nothing in between :mad:

    Then I tried sainsbobs. I did get him a nice collared tee but they only had half a row for over 5s and it was all autumn stuff and long sleeves :mad:

    Still, I found two cheap jersey dresses for me on the sale rail - I've been looking for nighties, but they are never long enough, and at half price these dresses were cheaper anyway :T

    So I've holiday clothes everywhere, which is my next job, but I've just had a late lunch (soooo hungry!) and will finish my drink first.

    Glorious day. Garden looks heaps better after the weeding we did last night...

    Super-urgent finding ticket vibes for Mrs MP.

    thank you so much the vibes worked:T i hadnt thought about it while i was at work or having dinner so when i read your post i thought i'd go and have another look (DS did a man look with no joy) i spent a couple of hours last night but just went up in his room and noticed a pile of papers on the top bunk i hadn't noticed or gone through yesterday. it looked like junk so as i was shifting through ready for recycling there was the ticket:j he can go now. which is lucky as hes already arranged for DH to be the taxi home and promised 4 of his friends they can crash here afterwards.

    Sports Day was so hot. That as my last one.

    Just put the last wash of the day on the line.

    going to mop the floor next and then just do paperwork until dinner and taking DS2 to work - too hot.

    Finally got the date for washing machine and it's coming Wednesday. :j:j:j

    Been doing little flying today, really should be getting more done. Did clean all the windows on one side off the house, i'll get the rest done tonight. :)

    DS1 fell yesterday and now has a deep cut to his thumb then DD fell off her bike and cut her hand so loads of tears and plasters. Swing has been fixed today with a new seat and DS3 got his wheels pumped so that's the kids happy for awhile. :D

    Bedding being done now so beds will need to be remade. DW needs to be emptied and back hall needs cleared. I'm hoping to get the old wm out tonight or tomorrow. Plus I need to get all tip stuff together for tomorrow.

    Right best go get something done.

    I confess to no flying. Tennis is enthralling.

    Hope to catch up with lists tomorrow.

    Good evening :D

    I have had a lazy day today - but it's my birthday so I don't care :p

    I have done some paperwork this morning & cleaned a toilet. Bed has been stripped, washed and hung out. DH has remade the bed :T Took the kids to the park after school, and we had Chinese take away for dinner. I suppose I will have to catch up at the weekend...maybe :)

    It is very quiet on here today. Is everyone watching tennis?
