Hi all x
Been on the go all day. Hairdressers this morning (I'm now blonde!) then embroiders to pick up the uniform stuff although there is a couple more things still to come but should be in by Saturday. Did some bits and bobs and although I've not stopped I've done nothing you would see!
Tomorrow I'm on washing and ironing and generally trying to get this place in order! We all have the dentist in the afternoon which I'm really looking forward to like a hole in the head!

Piggers cross your legs and wait for me to come to you on my jollies I will have all the kids no problems I'm sure they will all fit in the caravan and the awning. When you are planning the next baby please make sure it is during my visit and I will take the kids xxx

Will be in in the morning x

Ain't happening .. not ever..

Narc0lepsy

that confused me; everyone's comments pinged to 'yesterday' then I realised it had just turned midnight! I don't really like being nocturnal; but it's just normal for my body clock.

Not much to report today
finished picking all gooseberries
pruned redcurrant bush now all picked
went shopping (yuk) for various stuff but did especially well on bargains; got new trainers for zumba/aerobics for £20 reduced from £75, sports bras reduced from £22.50 each for 2 for £12, and shorts ideal for holiday £9 reduced from £29 - though why anyone in their right mind would pay full price for any of these items is beyond me.

various other social stuff - phone calls from 2 friends; long discussion with neighbour/friend about nephew currently reluctant to do any reading or writing and could I help (scary - I only do over 16s). Did 1 load washing. Golly is that all for the whole day? where did the time go?

Kh and I planned 2 more after Tiddles once we had moved house etc obviously that worked for him too!!!

I hate heartburn and gaviscon is poop... OH is laid snoring next to me.. I feel an urge to bite him but moving hurts so he is safe.. For now..

NB.. I need to add a bottle of juice to my hozzie bag and some snackage so neither of us die of unidentifiable food consumption.. It is so bad even the toast is unrecognisable!!! I might send him to grab some crisps and pasta and sarnies from tesco. We went on the way last time and with DD1 her OH jogged there a few times.. The huge one is the next street to hospital. Nail polish remover too for DD2
Phone charger and knitting are vital too and a puzzle book.. I will write him a list

I need to admin on DD1's lappy too and ring my pa maybe next week about a repair on that and my old one they need new connectors between power port and battery pack .. Different manufacturers yet the same annoying fault!! I need a screen for DD3's tablet too he can do that also and when he comes to get those he can change screens on DD2's phone.. We have a spare broken phone and her screen is cracked.

What else today???

Washing catch up
DW catch up
Meals prepped for tomorrow and Saturday for children and OH to save DD1 the hassle.. Sausage casserole and a huge lasagne should keep them ticking over. There should then be leftovers for Sunday!!
Muck out boing (ds3)
Pay bills to come out Friday .. I may have done this already..
Sort bag of extras in case baby needs to stay in a bit.. Unlikely but I don't want to end up with us both in clown clothes
Sort bag for OH to take to DD1's if she has the girls at hers on Saturday for a bit
Move nail appointment ASAP
Bins all emptied

Bouncy castle away
paddling pool away
Help me with hair wash/shower

I am sure I will find 1000 more things to do

And this..

Monday Minging & Flinging- Bathroom and Study/Pc Area ~ DONE

Tuesday Triumphs - Kitchen and Dining Room
Clean hob
Declutter all the windows sills in these areas!!
Check those washing machine filters and drawers for ickiness!!.. run through DW

Extras

Most of todays list was done yesterday and there is always scope for 1 more binbag dance!

My handrail on the stairs is so much nicer after yesterday's clean

Oh.. And my uncle is supposed to be coming to do the cabling to the shed and a few other jobs I cannot manage.. I need to get h a few beer tokens.

That might do for now
