Thanks for the comments ladies, was feeling a bit de-motivated! Have just had my yummy slow cooked beef stew so I'm going to put on my pjs and attack the kitchen. Then I will try and have a Hoover through lounge, dining room and hallway before kids go to bed.

Well DS was nattering for tea so we have eaten OMG he wolfed down every last scrap, plus some fruit and I let him have his little smarties pumpkin (wasn't allowed yesterday for being rude to me ) and now he's asking "when can I eat?" Lol I've told him he needs to leave it 10min or he'll be sick.

DD had a nap :T but I didn't get my sewing done - will try tonight. Right, I'm going through the list to see what's been missed...

Grrr. Been to drs to collect DH's prescription. I didn't bother to check it at the surgery so discovered at the chemist that the incompetent idiots have left an item off. Rang Dr's and I have to go back tomorrow at 11am. Not pleased.

Collected DD2 and DS3 from after school club. They were both starving and moaned all the way home for food. They've polished off the bagels I had for their lunch tomorrow. Need to go shopping again now.

lozzy my washing has had the same treatment. It's dry now and nobody is any the wiser (wink).

Welcome back, Raphael. Glad you were able to visit your step-dad, hope he will soon be in less pain.

DS1 has just collected DGD2, who was really good for us. She had 1½ hours' sleep before lunch and another 2 hours this afternoon, ate some lunch with us, drank plenty of water, and played happily with various bits and pieces including my duster-onna-stick aka "Tickle-tickle" Her temperature shot up suddenly when her first lot of meds wore off, but she took Calpol very happily from the syringe (what a wonderful invention - I remember trying to feed DS1 Calpol off a medicine spoon at that age and getting it all over both of us!) and was soon up and about again.

I managed to do a bit more gloss painting and hung out 2x washing loads (which are now dry) while she was asleep, cooked lunch, put our roast dinner in the oven, vacuumed kitchen floor when I realised that DGD2 was picking up fluff on her leggings - but not done much else. I must go to Choral Society practice tonight, so I will have to get up at crack of dawn to finish the painting, or it won't be dry by the time the carpet fitter comes on Saturday afternoon :eek: (Sun comes up at about 7.25, so not too bad! :rotfl:)

I always check that a) everything I've ordered is there, b) they've done the morphine correctly (I have it in both tablet and liquid form) and c) the doctor has actually signed it before leaving the premises, as they seem totally incapable of getting it right first time.:(

Hi all

Heartfelt thanks for all the kind words about old boy cats passing, it is much appreciated (more so than I can say in a message)

My lovely friend passed away this afternoon after battling the C. I don't want to say she lost her battle as the C didn't win as it didn't claim her - her personality and humour always shone through.

Thifty hope your Dad is better soon
Raph hope your step-dad is better soon too
Pigpen how is baby Poppy doing?

Flying wise:

Downstairs Hettyed
LR & Hallway dusted

To do:

HHI

Love & light
