    Neveah, sorry for your loss - we had guinea pigs, such wonderful pets.

    Thanks you all for your concerns and hugs etc they mean such a lot.

    Not much getting done here again today - lots of tears for some reason - but they are helping to clear my nose!:)

    School place sorted!!!! I may send the nice lady some flowers!

    That was quick! Very pleased for you, pigpen :D

    Condolences to Neveah and family - it's always sad when it's time to say goodbye to a furry friend.

    My shoulder is playing me up today, but somehow we have got to get the desk and chair into the car and take them into town: they are blocking my chances of getting the utility emptied by the end of this week! Then I can tackle the remaining jobs for today:
    - sort website billing
    - download photos from camera cards
    - sort church notice board
    Oh yes, and I must put a couple of things on Freecycle too.

    .


    They didn't have a leg to stand on.. the LA had not passed on sibling details when they passed on the application so the school knew nothing about them and they knew we would get a place on appeal due to their error not mine so just gave us one without all the fuss and paperwork!

    Took less than 2 hours!

    Neveah so sad to hear about your guinea. Love to you and DD

    Piggers glad that's sorted

    Shopping done
    Parcel collected
    Washing in as it was starting to spit.

    Think I'll do HHI next with a bit of tv before the kids come in.

    I use something similar to one of these
    http://www.lakeland.co.uk/24284/36-Peg-Laundry-Airer
    for small items, and hang it on the corner of the whirligig; it makes it a lot quicker to whisk in if it starts raining.:o

    Thank you LW every year I buy two and every year come winter there are less then 5 pegs left on each haha, I buy the £shop ones, I think I will order two of these now and hopefully stop using the tumble dryer. I have a washer/dryer and its a pile of poo at the best of times.

    Hi all, just checking in quickly - there is a serious temptation to just sit here and doodle about on the internet. No flying at all to speak off this week, mainly because paid stuff has got in the way.

    I am going to see what I can achieve in the next hour or so. Chicken curry for tea - we may have pancakes for supper if the kids insist but I am not really that fussed about them.

    Right, hoover and duster time!
