    Morning All

    Thought I might join you for the holidays! DS is on a football course for 2 days so I need to take him there about 8.30 and then I'm free for the rest of the day I think unless DD wants running anywhere. I must do my accounts this morning though if I don't do anything else!

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Hippo Bathday to Mumto5's DS3

    Thank you to Natty for this week's lists and to Dusty for last week's. I'm in - sort of: the garden gets priority as all my new plants need to be set out before they outgrow their pots. I'm going to raid another friend's garden this afternoon, too. The big hellebores are now all planted, so it's time to start on the other two borders in the back garden as soon as I've finished my first cuppa of the day :D

    While the tea was brewing I
    - DUPA
    - wiped over kitchen worksurfaces
    - decrumbed the toaster
    - started WMx1 of 3
    - started the porridge for breakfast
    so I can immediately cross off the "15 minutes" section of the list :)
    I have until 9.30 to garden, eat breakfast and shower, then we're out until after lunch.
    DH needs to pick up a parcel from the PO in town this morning, and I must ask him to post one to my DD (plants!!!)

    GWS pigpen and good luck with the pox.

    Hope everyone has a good week. (((Hugs))), spoons and sticks all round, as needed.

    Hi. I'm in this week - in two houses. Off back home on the overnight coach, so I'll start in Brum, do 2 days in Glasgow and finish back in Brum. Anything is better than nothing.


    I'll have to pick a new frog for this week now the curtains are done. ;-) polishes halo!


    Ionafan. Hope DH's horsepiddle trip goes well. Good luck with the house/garden work.


    pigpen. Hope you avoid the pox. And everything else. I'm getting over a cold. Did nothing after Tuesday last week except eat pizza and chocolate and drink crap (non-alcoholic though!) I still feel like I have a hangover. Put on 4 lbs in 5 days. Back to being good today.


    ((hugs)) and spoons to all.

    Hugs, spoons & vibes to everyone else as well :)

    Well DD is back in the country and due home any minute, I'm working on a Mr A delivery for tomorrow before we go to the dentists. Today I plan to tackle the list, and get all of DD's washing done so she was plenty of clean clothes for the week. ;)

    Already made a start on the list, and will carry on later once I've got DD unpacked.
