    Morning,

    No flying happened yesterday, the tidy kitchen is now full of washing up not impressed need to crack on. Looked around the first high school yesterday, I need strength for the rest. DD1 is off at school with a no uniform day for Macmillan, she made the football team yesterday much to her amazement as she didn't actually put her name down. First match today.

    How did baby sleep last night Roxy?
    I feel like last night passed me by, which must be a good thing. We had a screaming bath for the first time rather than the chilled out affair it usually is, but I think it took her last piece of energy as she was out like a light until 3 in the basket. She then decided she wanted to be awake having eaten, so bought her in my bed and was out like a light until 6. It was nice having 3 hour sleeps rather than 2.

    Morning everyone- I got up early and pegged the three loads of washing I did last night in my pjs with a cardi over- hope no-one saw me:eek:
    No supply work today:( so to cheer myself up I cut both lawns, emptied some pots, filled them with some lovely pansies my Dad brought round yesterday, my front porch looks lovely:)
    I also tidied the garage up and put the car boot stuff I have been collecting in there ready for next Saturday.
    Now for the inside!

    Morning all,
    Not had a chance yet to read back the thread so hope you are all having a good Friday but big squishy hugs to those in need.

    Noticed a theme this week that the floors have been abandoned so hoovering will be done tonight and will judge if bathroom/hall need mopped or not after.
    Am extending my list through the weekend to get more jobs done that need doing before the move. As it's my birthday next weekend I'm aiming to have everything done bar last minute packing (ie clothes/kitchenware/toiletries that will be needed up to the day of the move) for a week today so I can have time 'off' to spend with family. It is looking possible at the moment, in fact I'm worried I'm overpacking and going to need to find things again :rotfl:

    Shall go read through the thread and join in the coffee morning for Toots.
    Have a ncie day

    My little treasure woke at 2 and 6 for feeding.. Squeak was up at 6:30 for juice.. however, OH spent last night chucking and I spent it coughing up my lungs every time he moved so we are exhausted and the children full of beans.

    Feeding time for the pickle now so I'll dash to the loo then see to her then I have laundry to hang out,
