    House was reasonably tidy but from DS and OH coming home last night to getting up this morning a bomb seems to have gone off.

    My life, every day, or so it seems. Sympathies.

    Skinty, I have filled in the genetics questionnaire on three separate occasions so I understand the emotional weight that goes with it. Sending you loves, it sounds as though you're spinning an awful lot of plates xx

    No skids here this weekend to make a mess so our BR is likely to be the only room with scene-of-devastation potential. Might walk to our local for a spot of late lunch later on, and as the Outlaws are away all weekend I'll need to make use of their WM one last time to get shirts and uniform washed for this coming week.

    Hope everyone has a lovely day, whatever you're up to xx

    Pigpen - I'd help if I was nearer, does OH pull his weight, hope things settle down and start to get better for you soon


    No, he can't really.. he picks up 1 item asks me what to do with it at which point I have a meltdown... if I knew what to do with it I would have done it already *scream*


    Todays jobs..


    fold mountain of laundry.. seriously monster mountains!
    get beds changed
    Sort DD3 and DD4's wardrobes
    Take sides off Dots cot.. she is objecting to going in her bed now and spent 4 nights this week in my bed or waking and screaming.


    Anything else will be a bonus.. though obviously recycling/rubbish, WM, DW etc will be done too.

    Morning all, hope everybody has the same lovely sunshine as I do.

    Treating myself to a day in the garden as tomorrow is Mothering Sunday.

    WM1 on and will go on the line, school shirts and DS1 needs to strip his bed (when he gets out of it).

    DS2 away on his driving test, he felt sick before he went, so hope he passes this time.

    Valli - I was so hoping for a secret code post.

    Vali - why are you working so late???

    We've had a building extension; boss found source of free furniture and when he went to pick (a Council building was to be sold and needed to be emptied) he also found display boards - and 'kindly' allocated two to my area...These were put up Thursday when I was not there - they were 'interesting' colours and needed backing ASAP - I put a display on one of them. I had a work experience student in this week - Friday am she was given a staple remover and pliers so cleared them of staples for me; so that got done. Plus I am a put downer (when in a hurry - see sig;)) so I needed to do some putting away.

    DDs bedding on line; another load in WM and shower tiles scrubbed with bleach.

    Dusty - sorry! Cannot share.

    Morning all.

    Hugs & vibes to all!

    DD's got a cold but the way she was acting you'd think it was double pneumonia coupled with the black death :wall: So glad that she's gone out with ex for the day. :o Couldn't stand much more of her "can't do that I'm sick", when all I've asked her to do is take her cup out to the kitchen :mad:

    Todays plan is to book a Mr A shop for tomorrow, and after some juggling/updating of accounts, that may include getting a 3 month delivery pass. Just 5 weekend deliveries would mean it was worth paying out for and I can easily hit that many in 3 months :o:rotfl: I also need to do laundry and we're having take-away tonight for tea instead of going out for a meal tomorrow for Mothers Day ;) Also all the normal dailies which are mostly done already ;)

    First though, as soon as my phone has finished charging, I'm going to go and have a bath! I'm also hoping to get the colour on my hair thats been sat there for 3 weeks! I have 4 tone hair at the moment and I want to get it down to just one. Why are charging phones like watched kettles that never boil? :rotfl::rotfl: :wave:

    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    Not a happy household, DS2 failed again.

    Back to the garden for me and DS1&3 are going to wash my car.

    On a plus note. I'm literally flying tomorrow. Well not me I'm flying a bird - I'm going on a 1/2 day falconry course.
    Oh wow! I am so jealous!! :DEnjoy.:o

    Fruit'n'veg run done, Jessie walked, 2 x WM loads done, apple & mincemeat (l/o from Yule) crumble and sultana & spice buns made, dins made (parsnip & apple soup) and eaten.

    At risk of getting shot down in flames.... I'm afraid I could never abide Kate Bush.:(
