    Thank you Natty. Another manically busy week coming up. I'll pop in when I can. DH is back to work tomorrow 2.5 weeks after his extended trip to the doctors. Still concerned about him but bills have to be paid.

    Lovely day enrolling the boys in another year of football (I will be moaning about mud in December) on possibly the hottest day of the year. A yummy barbecue, the tennis :-)

    DS3 fell down an unlocked drain playing football. He's hurt the back of his thigh. He can hardly walk so I may be off to minor injuries unit in the morning. Sports day is Wednesday and he is more distraught he won't be able to defend his 100% winning record in all races run since playgroup. It's the same leg that he had all the hip problems with Nov - Feb. carrots and ibuprof given but it still hurts so much he can't sleep.

    Fingers crossed for DS3 Mumto5

    I've just done my tax return, and they owe me money - yippppppppppeeeeeeeeee. We really need the cash with all the building work hence why I have got my act together and submitted it. Just got to file the papers now. Still need to help DS1 finish his when he returns to the country and have 2 to sort for my mother but none of those are money in my bank account.

    Was going to have a celebratory pimms but did not notice the time! Don't feel tired yet though which is surprising.

    Thank you natty for the this weeks thread and thanks to dusty for last weeks xx
    I'm in again this week.
    Summer school starts on Tuesday for DS2 so I hope that will bring some routine into my life again! DDs ballet class starts on Tuesday too so that will give her an hour of her favourite thing she's really being missing her classes.
    OH TiP bound today with some loads and the caravan he will be commuting between here and there till Wednesday and then staying till its over when I will be getting peace.
    Not sure what I'm doing yet today but if I manage the bathroom and an hour or so of ironing I will be pleased with that. Given that I'm hobbling around after hurting my toes last night anything will be an achievement today.
    Away for a wee read of my book and a cuppa before getting started. Love, hugs, spoons and mules to all those in need xx

    Morning - cloudier and cooler here today and after baking to a frazzle watching OH and DD2's b/f play cricket yesterday I can't say I'm too sad!

    Flying will begin again here after a weekend at mum's.

    There is even more ironing to do!

    Better go wake DD1.....
