Morning all

Huge storm at 6am so garden has had a nice soaking (along with two bras Id left on the line).

In the mood to tidy so having a cuppa and then a shower and I'll get to it.

Just gave DH a lift to the station in my pjs as he has a flat tyre on his bike.

We've not had rain.. just the storm so it is still suffocating and vile here... the cat has been swimming in the paddling pool though... I ran to grab my phone but she was out by the time I got back..

Dropped toast.. butter side of course on my clothes!!

Today I WILL get this infernal blanket sewn together.. 20 of the 80 squares are now sewn into 4's..



OH sorting his clothes today supposedly.. I'll not hold my breath!

Cuppa first then I shall make sure the wheelies are full for collection they are pretty much there with the 3 binbags I demanded the children filled yesterday and the polystyrene from the packaging etc.. but I'm sure I can fit more in!

I need to poke DS2 to ring college and I need to ring to get a 3rd recycle bin.. mine are permanently full it seems!

mrs-moneypenny

blanket squares look lovely pigpen, cant wait to see it all finished

Dustykitten

Looks lovely Piggers.

Warming up here already. DS3 does not seem himself, not sure if he is coming down with something or stressed/worried.

Morning

Spent yesterday evening without any water, as did my neighbours, turned out there was a power failour at the pumping station...........

Heavens are open and pouring down on my garden, and I wanted to garden this afternoon, may have to re think and clean the oven instead!!

Pigpen, love the blanket squares, my grandmother 'tried' to teach me to knit, but I never gothe hang of it, and she was a very good knitter.

Bossy I am sure your kids will enjoy their day, lovely outfits.

Does this mean there will be no forum ALL weekend??

Forum downtime: the MSE forum will be read only this weekend from 5pm, Friday 26 July

What are we all going to do??

Morning :wave:

Got DS from nursery yesterday, where he had been asleep for 2hours, refusing food and drink and a high temperature.

Spent all day and all night sponging him, bathing him, and getting him to sip water.....he finally went off to sleep at about 4 just before the storm, but then I couldn't sleep.....:(

The only extra flying that got done yesterday was sorting the half used shampoo bottles in the bathroom as stuff kept falling out of cupboards as soon as I opened the doors- I have confiscated 10 bottles of half used bottles, put a bit of water in the dregs of about 6 bottles and left them in there. They will be used up by DD3 if it kills me :mad:

As the storm got closer, I remembered that DD3 hadn't got her stuff off the line but before i could debate about pulling some clothes on versus the two youngest Skints freaking out if I wasn't in the bedroom the heavens literally opened. Well at least I didn't get sopping wet:D

Fielded the 12th phone call from passport office, but have been assured passports now all done and printed so will be leaving today :j

No nursery for poorly DS today, although he has had one triangle of peanut butter toast this morning he is still lolling around like a dead fish.

Really need to do the LR today, DD3 spilled meatballs on the creamy/beige carpet yesterday while watching TV and let it dry in without any attempt to clean it, while I was otherwise engaged looking after DS...so I need to be cracking out the V@x today if I get some co-operation from DD3 with the Skint baby DD4.....in the circumstances I think it is the least she can do.....

Time to get showered and then make a start on something at least.


Will be back for some company for HH something or other in a bit
