    Afternoon flyladies :hello:

    Back from DS2's appointment at the dental hospital in Brum; time on the letter said 10.40, we were seen at 11.50 :mad: How can they be running SO late less than 2 hours after they open?! Anyway, he is booked in for his double extraction under GA on May 12th. He was very good today though, as was DS1, despite the mammoth wait. By the time we came out it was pouring with rain and I had no brolly :( walked into town and drip-dried in a lovely cafe beside the magistrates court, then caught the train and bus home. Still soggy and freezing cold but at least this tooth palaver is almost over.

    Just going to sling some washing on the airer and drive halfway to Wales to drop the boys off with KH for the weekend, then I need to pop to A1di and try and get this place to rights for the weekend. My washing basket is overflowing.

  • I have cleaned the fridge today and meal planned to the extent if it was just this side of the compost bin then it got thrown into a curry.


    All the shelving and fridge holder thingies went through the DW, so proper full on cleaning.


    Mt Foldmore has been dragged upstairs courtesy of DD3.......if I do not appear back on Fred, send out the search party as I have probably been restrained by a pile of falling towels!
    The cold never bothered me anyway
