A few small frogs eaten.

Mr T visited

Ds1 set off on his school trip about 4.10pm. He discovered he had outgrown his jeans so we had to repack. Hopefully he may think to check first next time.

DS2 has been good today.

My cold is getting better but I feel exhausted and have spent lots of time admiring the bathroom this afternoon.

DH is off for the rest of the week. We hope to take DS2 to the cinema &/or toy shop.

How do you know which one is me?

Hazzarded a guess as you said you were taking DS3 with you and the 2 signs were the same colour. Could well be wrong .


Having read the article, I need to contact my Step Dad about this, he could be affected as he lives near Howardsgate. I hadn't realised. But then, that's the whole point isn't it? Most people won't realise that they will be at risk unless they have bought or sold recently and it's showed up in the searches.


I wonder if there is a quick free way to find out if your home is affected?

Morning everyone.

Just decluttering a cuppa before I get up. Will have a quick look at the lists and see what I can do before going shopping with DD. Ozzy woke me at 2am playing with a cat toy in the bedroom. So that was stuffed under the pillow.

Valli Congratulations to your DD.

Hugs,spoons and sticks where needed.

Congratulations, ValliGirl! And well done, deco X

I was rudely awaken by a text message at 6.30 on my day off! Gah. Kids are currently playing with the trains under DS bed. I'm having a cuppa in bed. Will get a shower in a mo.

We have dentist at 10.45 then going to my aunts for the afternoon. Will take some snackables for the small people and a toy or two each. Might charge their tablets actually.

Then I think we are going to Eureka! tomorrow. More snack needed as I hear the queues can be awful...

Very well done. Still haven't done ours, I know, I just can't face it.

Plan is to try to finish the things on my list without adding anything else.

Just going to peek at a frog and see how long it might take to gobble up.

DD had a friend sleep over last night and they were up giggling until all hours. DH got very cross when they woke him up yet again. I'm going to go and wake her up in a minute.
Hip hurting lots today and had a rubbish sleep. Lots of nightmares again .
Eurgh. Le sigh.


Flying will be sluggish at best .
Really want to actually get out of the house today. Feeling that I let the kids go out on Tuesday with MiL when it was the only nice day. This always happens, I end up with all the really crap weather so we're stuck in.
Meh. Pull my socks up.


Hope everyone else is ok? Just me mithering about nowt really?

Morning everyone

Had a lovely day out yesterday - then the kids did nothing but bicker, argue and wind each other up from the minute we got home until I went to bed at half ten. It kind of spoilt the day a bit, sigh.

Anyhow, today DS2 is hoping to meet with some friends and DS1 is planning on swimming with his cousin so a bit of time apart might be a good thing. I know its a teenage thing but sometimes its like living in a war zone with them and I am constantly treading on eggshells trying to keep the peace.

Going to get a shower and get dressed. We are supposed to be taking the car to the local bodyshop to find out how much it will cost to get a little dent sorted. Have a feeling it might be a lot!

Will try and fly in between other things. Havent done DS2s bedroom this week or the utility room.
