    "Is it tidy or is it MUM tidy?", I'm EXACTLY the same with my bunch, lemanie :D The response is usually a big sigh and them shuffling off to have another stab at it.

    Iron has run out of steam do I'm waiting for it to cool before refilling and ploughing on. I have already done a lot, but I'm not even halfway there. Serves me right for doing nothing all weekend. Lesson learned? Almost certainly not :rotfl:

    I love the idea of a holiday countdown! Off to look for an app to do the hard sums for me too :)

    I finished my lunch and as DH walked through the door as I was sitting down to it (had to come home for some photos or something for work?), I got him to drop me off at the park. I spent about 15 minutes in bushes looking for a geocache but failed to find it so will try to get the kids to help me with it later. So gutted, it has a travel bug in there and I would like to grab it to take to America with us. We found a coin last time we went which my sister has borrowed to dip locally but it would be nice to send more to Us :).
    Right, time to put away washing, le sigh!

    so far not achieved a lot

    kitchen stuff taken to compost bin
    work done
    got DH to make a phone call to confirm something
    rang drs and made an appt.
    did some family history stuff and hit a bit of a wall. cant work out why someones name has changed ive got them getting married and got names off cert but the surname on marriage cert for her and her dad is different to the name i was led to believe was her maiden name.
    think i need to leave it for now as looking at it isnt making it any clearer.

    Sorry for absence; am dealing with some stress of the feel-sick-every-time-I-think-about-it variety and really not been feeling able to put a coherent post together. Hopefully know more about my situation tomorrow, and Mr LW's on Thursday. Both health related. Forgive me, I don't want to say more, lest I burst into tears.

    If I remember rightly, you don't do hugs LW, so instead I'll just leave this :coffee: here for you. It's made with love :)

    Ironing complete! Seventy eight garments now waiting to be put in their rightful homes. Yes, I counted ;) Will get them all away, dustnvac the lounge and clean the bathroom when I get home with the boys.
