    Morning all

    The sun is shining in the land of dust so I'm feeling much more chirpy.

    Job no1 will be to load the WM
    Then to see what is left on my list
    Might encourage DS3 outside for some fresh air

    Spent most of yesterday holiday planning (thanks Kaz for spurring me on) still away to go but we have finally reached a destination which all 5 of us are happy with.

    Morning!

    I've just cleaned up the kitchen after brekki and set DW going. I'm just having 5min then I'll get dressed. Put together some snack to take out too. Although just realised I've done the kids but nothing for me :o

    DD is being very territorial about me :o poor DS can't get a look in. She doesn't want to share me at all, and I can't get a minute to myself. She will probably settle when back into the routine next week.

    I'm thinking I better take the buggy out today. Somewhere to put the coats if nothing else :rotfl:

    Have a lovely day, everyone!

    WM1 just finished so I'll put that on the line

    Upstairs hoovered bar DS1 room - he can clear the floor and do that in a minute. Then I'm having HH out in the sun to top up my vit D and prune the roses.

    All the pictures have been dusted and the kitchen fridge is being defrosted. I should have realised that when the Met Office said it would rain later, they really meant it. The cloudless blue sky and sunshine fooled me. Hey ho. Another 24 hours with soggy washing decorating the place.
    Better is good enough.

  • Thank you Mrs M-P for the hugs and wise words yesterday. I didn't ask DH what his beef was as experience tells me that he'll say "nothing" then a few days later I'll get "Sorry I've been moody, it was because…" so I think I will be better off riding out his grump and see what he says later. It doesn't help that I'm a natural born worrier and I take everything far too personally! Had a texty chat with my best friend which helped a bit.

    I was supposed to be working for 2 hours this morning and leaving my boys in DSD's charge but they were being such horrible little !!!!!! I felt I couldn't leave her to deal with WW3 :( Called customer to cancel and I have informed the boys they owe me a tenner each in lost earnings :D

    SO, instead, I've grabbed a binbag and FLUNG! like a woman possessed. I've also cleaned all the windows, dusted the lounge and our bedroom, stripped the airer and vacuumed everywhere, the carpet edges were utterly disgusting in places :o Every DVD has been dusted too, which is a big job in itself as I would guess we have around 500. Hard to believe that when I met DH 5 years ago I had only ever watched about 10 films in my entire life.

    I now need to write a shopping list and nip to the supermarket, then get ready to collect DD around 4. If I keep up this pace I should sleep well tonight :)
