    Have to take old boy cat to the vets tomorrow, he's 16/17 years old and has become increasingly wobbly on his legs and looks forlorn. He's normally very talkative but has gone quiet.

    I have to say well done to those working full time and doing the lists................I have worked 2 school days, only have 1 child and I'm falling behind badly!!! Tomorrow, I have to help my Mum set up her retirement present, a Kindle, and I'm in school all day again so hopefully get bits done in the morning and carry on later.

    Hope everyone is well and hugs and spoons to all in need xx

    LW, Hope the pooches are good for you xx

    Goodnight all xx

    Did all my ironing whilst chatting with my friend, I was just going to do a shirt each for the boys but just carried on.

    Off to bed now, sleep tight flyladies.

    Evening all.

    I finally finished editing the pics for DD's homework at 10pm :eek: I dread to think how long it would have taken her to do it. Still its done, printed out and in her bag for the lesson tomorrow. :D Nothing else has been done today, even tea was cooked by DD after she'd finished a different piece of homework. Tomorrow I have paid stuff for the majority of the day, so I best get myself off to bed. I have to be up at 6am to do paperwork before the delivery arrives between 7-8am. :eek: Too tired to do it now, I know I'd make a mistake as I've done it before :o

    Hope to catch up with flying on Thursday if I can have a mega productive day tomorrow ;)

    This is my magic 3 to get done today :j

    Need to Hoover the stairs later. Can't do it now its so noisy.

    Hubby says he tested alarm and it worked so I'll test it later again. Need to be 100 % sure it's ok.

    Going to give myself 30 minutes to get the kitchen done :j

    Morning all. Thanks for good wishes for SickDog. I didn't get to the vet yesterday for the additional meds as I was waiting for DD to get home with the car and it took her 2 hours from York to Selby so it was too late. Going to go in a mo but she is a bit better today.

    HB - hope MrsDog is feeling better today#
    Deco - good luck with old boy cat
    LW - hope those doggies are behaving

    Hugs where needed.

    As I need to pop out, I've had to start the paid stuff early today so didn't get round to cleaning the bathroom, so will see what I can do later.

    While I'm out I'm going to do a few errands in town including booking my blood test. So busy looking after SickDog I keep forgetting about myself.

    Have a great day everyone.
    Spend less now, work less later.
