    Morning All

    Well the dog woke me up at 3 and I've been awake ever since. Just waiting for DS to wake up so I can put his cream on ready for going to the hospital. So today consists of hospital at 8.30, tip run, drop DS off at football and then home. I want to finish sorting the LR today and then see what else I have time for before I pick DS up from football, drop him off at M&D's, go to Mr As then back to M&D's for tea.

    Mumto5 - she could have come to me if you were closer.

    Dusty - hope DS's is ok this morning.

    Skinty - hope you're feeling more like your normal self this morning

    CY - calming vibes heading your way.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

  • Good morning all

    I promise I am trying to keep up with the lists but I am now back at work, so going on the premise that if I am out at work all day - there is no-one here to make a mess of my house!!!!

    After work yesterday did some flying in the garden, bins out, dinner on, floors mopped.

    Will try and do a 10 minute fly round bedroom when I go up to get dressed today.

    productive flying vibes to all.

    Of course this morning DS decides to sleep in so as he was lying on the right side I've put the cream on while he was asleep but now I can't decide whether it's a bit high as he's normally lying on his front when I do it not his side.

    Morning all,

    Poop night's sleep for me and OH kindly woke me to say bye before he went to the gym ay 6.45 :mad: Normally I wouldn't mind as DS1 is an early riser anyway, but I only get two weeks a year where a lie-in is possible, we're halfway through the first week and not a sniff of sleeping past 7.30 yet.

    So I have washed up, dried up and put away and am now decluttering a LARGE coffee before preparing my list for today.

    Went to put a load in the WM and there isn't enough in the basket :j This NEVER happens; we live in a flat [got told off by a neighbour once for calling it that, "These are [I]apartments, [/I]not 'flats' :eek: " -- whatever, love] and I have no outdoor drying space, I can't even have washing visible near the windows as it breaks the terms of our leasehold and [STRIKE]stickybeaks[/STRIKE] people can and do complain if you break the rules. I don't have a TD anymore so I have to plan my washing very carefully as it all has to fit on a airer in the hall, with the two of us and five children coming and going, it's a tricky juggling act. Being almost completely caught up is a minor miracle.

    I hope Wednesday is kind to you all :)

    No, one in the town;)

    DW run
    WM x 1 on line (in my nighty - oo err)
    WM x 2 in

    these will be brought in by children, later as I am off to Northampton. Anybody want a visitor;)?

    I'm hoping DD is better - we think she was a bit bunged up (senokot has been administered) but was headachy, sicky, grumpy but no temp. She is 17; mum is close by (and better than me at this stuff anyway, she's an ex nurse;)). I have an e bay collect finishing todya but if I don't go this week I won't get a break from Villa Valli - haven't been anywhere since Budapest in 2000.

    My mum's spotted a 4 day citibreak to Bruges (I am not a foreign beach in the summer person - or really anywhere foreign and hot in the summer, I'm the wrong shade) which sounds nice.

    Anyone?

    I am taking the macbook (s/h) to my sisters...

    OHH! FLASH OF INSPIRATION! BIL IS A SERIOUS GEEK (ie he gets paid for it) wonder if he can deduce my password for it - which I have,of course, forgotten! (Fortunately you can shut down without logging out;))

    anyway, as I said, I am taking my Macbook so I cna keep in touch;)

    Morning all :D

    Another early riser this morning. I was up at 5.45 and I've managed to wash my hair and have a proper bath :D I feel much better and awake compared to yesterday. Not a mean feat considering I was still awake at 2am :(

    I've done a batch of dishes, stripped my bed, dealt with the courier, rescanned the fr33view and I'm going to chill while I catch up with computer stuff until 9am when I'll start work. ;)

    I'll get DD flying when she gets up. I think she can learn how to peg out washing today ;) I'm only letting her sleep in as she's had a number of late nights over the weekend and younger cousins/dogs who always wear her out :rotfl:
