Evening all

Busy day with only a hint of flying, did do a HH weeding though to enjoy the sunshine.

15 minutes until I get DS3 from squash, just back from taking DS2 to get new shoes.

Tonight I should write some reports but I fear I'm too tired so may have that as an early morning frog tomorrow.

Just time to empty the DW

Thanks mrs-money penny, they don't get their exams results for about 4-6 weeks which is a shame but suppose that's the same with most exams. The smell of the leek and potato soup is yum!

By the way I get most of the shorthand but what is SW3, SW5 please?

That's my fault SW3 and SW5 are my kids. SW stands for scallywag and the number is their number in the birth order of grandkids for my parents!

SW3 is the A and SW5 is W in my user id

:wave:
I am here but had both littlies at home today so with those and pottering, not much time to post. I did do all our beds, though...(and got 2 lots washed)
Plus I've escaped tonight to my friends for a couple of hours :T thank you mum!
DS will be back at school tomorrow. He's definitely got his mojo back. Haven't worked out what DD and I will do yet. Maybe make a start on the garage room :eek: (r.o.d.) or make something to put up at the window in the downstairs loo.
But for now, bed!

Morning all. Hope everyone is ok. Up early as usual, plan before the very busy paid stuff today is to make cottage pie for tonight's tea and hope that when I do get to the paid stuff, news of my awful presentation yesterday hasn't fed its way back to my boss...aagh.

This week, my only neglected room is the bathroom. I had a swish round every day but not a proper clean. Maybe I should be on the sloblady thread.

Have a great day everyone.

Dustykitten

Morning all

Whole family glad it's Friday here, shame it's another week until half term.

Going to put the WM on and have a shower then work out what I need to do in town, hoping to walk down.

Flying for today, hoover everywhere, wash bahroom floor, S&S toilets and sinks.
