Put the white wash on in the end, it's now all hung up.

OH managed to get the flea stuff on the dog in the end. Dog just seemed confused by it all. She always gets excited for her treatments, she even begs the vet for her booster shots. Strange animal.

I am currently pinned in on the sofa by one dog and my old girl Amycat I only have a wee bit of seat to sit on.. I am sure there is something wrong there..lol

New addition, Summer, is a bit of a weird one. She got me up last night at about 2am by charging around the living room and scaring the other dog, who was asleep on his bed. So I got up and slept downstairs but kept getting pounced on by a very lively 1yr old kitten.. Ye gods I had forgotten what young cats were like..lol

She has been exploring the living room on and off today, oh and fell asleep on the windowsill looking so sweet.. I think she had worn herself out after last nights charging around. At the moment she is asleep behind the chair in the living room, which she has decided is her place for the duration..lol Oh and she pinched the big boys breakfast this morning, he wasn't happy....lol

I did manage to hoover the living room floor and sofas and chairs before scaring Summer. But apart from that I haven't done any flying..lol

Quick update. Things didn't quite go to plan today - phone call at 7.30am to say my mum had been admitted to acute ward in hospital after passing out several times, vomiting and almost fitting after eating at a local pub last night. Finally got through to ward at 8.45 to be told they'd phone me back after dr's rounds. My mum texted me at 12.30 to say she was going home but they had no idea what caused it and she has to have allergy tests.

Aside from that we went to buy wallpaper to start living room - actually managed to finish it in one day!!:j Mum home and tired but seems ok. WI committee meeting took 2 hours tonight so quick teas all round.

Big head start on tomorrows list already. Think I'll have to do some paid stuff in the morning once I've updated finances, or I might save the paid stuff until Wednesday when the weather isn't supposed to be very good, and go out tomorrow, cabin fever is starting to set in.

Achieved Nowt today. Spent the day with a friend then school run. Currently have a baby hanging off me as we have officially entered the witching hour. Three days in a row now so trying the sling. Going to slowly move around pottering and see what gets done. Scared to take her off now incase the screaming starts again.
