Morning all

Boys away to school but both have sore throats, short day for DS2 but long one for DS3 so will see how it goes.

Plan is shopping and flying today.

JTTOU yes he said he wants an earlier one, just tricky with school but he does start later 2 days so should be ok.

Hugs FBO. I did wonder if my two little whirlwinds had sent you over the edge you're doing brilliantly! X

DS away to school. Just having a cuddle with DD then will get on with some paperwork...

I've just loaded DW and will get some bedding washed shortly too.

Have a good day everyone. DD parents evening later

Good morning ladies.

I've have a day at hone today. WM is on 2nd load with our bed sheets going round. I have done a 57 fling boogie to fill 2 carriers to put out with the bins today. It's amazing how uncluttered the place looks now! I may even get a duster out!

I was awake horrendously early because I could hear a tap dripping. DD1's BF has a friend who is a plumber so I think I will ask him to invite him round.

DD2's birthday on Tuesday was a good one. Eyes down for DH's on Saturday now.

I'm going to do a couple of HHC's starting with a cobweb hunt.

I'll report back later.

Good morning (just!) all :wave:

Late start this morning......
Had a lovely walk with 2 neighbours yesterday. Spent the past half-hour telling DH where we went and showing him the route on Google Maps.

Didn't do as much off yesterday's list as I had planned because it was a beautiful afternoon, so after I had set up the mini-greenhouse (which also involved moving umpteen pots, sweeping the patio and removing as many of the little heaps of ash keys as I could - the ash tree overhangs my garden :mad:) I stayed out to play "hunt the plants" and cut back some overgrown shrubs. I can now see a decent length of south-facing bed for the new herbaceous border

I've broken another task down into shorter bits to encourage myself to get them all done - I love crossing things off lists

So today I'm hoping to:
[STRIKE]- respond to an email that is due to drop into my mailbox within the next 10 min[/STRIKE]
- crop and resize the individual photos for the church notice board so that everyone's head is the same size :rotfl:
- type up a list of groups
- type up contact details / service times @StM / service times @StJ
- make mock-up of board for churchwarden's approval
- move and replant a hydrangea
- with DH's help, move table from utility to downstairs bedroom
- move boxes and sort accumulated junk in utility
- with DH's help, clear rubbish and sort bricks and slabs from raised bed
- go to U3A meeting with DH (remembering to take subs for membership renewal)
- sort birthday cards for March
- PM FBO (not until this evening)

The website billing problem still isn't sorted - it will take at least 2 phonecalls and a great deal of mental effort, which I will attempt to drum up tomorrow. I see a tadpole developing legs....

Hi all sorry I'm late I'm in again this week even if it kills me .. feel awful ... I blitzed the place tuesday kitchen living room and bathroom was spotless and now it looks like a bomb has hit it .... so pi^&ed off !! DP knows I'm not well but won't help ... MIL Is saying it's just a cold ... If it is its the worst cold I've ever had and baby is teething and Ds1 keeps arguing with me and answering back ... I could cry honestly I've had enough ... moping around won't get anything done tho so I'm gonna jump in the shower ... I'm sweating so much my top is wet ! Had diarrhea last night and been feeling sick the last few days went to bed at 9 last night I was so ill ... DP did take Ds1 to school this morning ... when I asked him yesterday morning cuz i was feeling rubbish he said ull be Ok and went back to sleep ... I love him to bits bit it's times like this I need his help and he can't be bothered to help me I hate him hates a strong word I know but he really does annoy me ... ppl ask why I put up with it ... 1. Because I love him and when he's In a good mood I can't fault him and 2. Cuz when I've asked him to leave or I've tried to leave he won't let me or won't go ! So I don't really have a choice it's not fair on the kids so it's easier to keep quiet than cause arguments ! ... sorry girls just needed to vent and got no one else to talk to .... going to feed baby cuz he's just woke then I'm gonna have a shower and see what I can get done before picking Ds1 up x

OM - You have my utmost understanding on your problems with DH. I really feel your frustration and annoyance as I've had similiar issues. Have a hug and take some parrots (ok if you are BF). I hope you feel better soon.

I've got rid of all the cobwebs. I don't know why I'm standing on tip toes doing the ceiling when my eldest son is 9 inches taller than me at 6' 3'.

He's at an interview at the airport. He refused to let me iron his clothes. DD1 gave him a lift. I'm going to spy on him on social media to see how he got on because he won't tell me :-(

WM is going round again and some washing is in TD and some is on the line. I've sorted the massive pile of ironing and reduced it as much as possible.

just_the_two_of_us

Hi all = babysteps here this morning - just about to do HHC followed immediatley by another HHC at 12:34 - anyone joining me?
Get well vibes to OM

Dustykitten

Shopping done, just need to put it away
WM finished so need to get that on the line.
Gifts bought, I'll wrap in a bit

Weather is beautiful, I could do a bit in my neighbours garden, I'll see if their brown bin is empty and how I feel after a cuppa.

OM have a hug, sit down and rest, the mess will still be there tomorrow there is no point stressing about it.

Mumto5 fingers crossed for DS at his interview
