    Oh LW no wonder you are stressed, really hope this week passes quickly for you and the outcome is positive X

    I've done precious little today other than paid stuff and got some groceries in. Oh and used my new gel nail system to do MIL a manicure :D it looks fab, just hope her fingers don't drop off :eek:

    Sorted DD out, she (like me) is full of catarrh and all bunged up in her head. She now has had some kiddy parrots and some lovely niffy drops on her nightie. And a cuddle. Think she's asleep again.

    Early start tomorrow, but hoping I can go for a little wander at lunch to the land of pound. I want cherry fishermans friends, square batteries and a cheap plastic shower curtain / table cloth...

    I did load DW after dinner and kitchen is nice and tidy.

    DS swam across the pool twice tonight without arm bands :T :D he said the teacher told him to pretend there were snappy lobsters on the bottom :rotfl:

    Oh I could do with a conference on being brilliant!

    I have got through most of what I needed to today plus taken DS3 to the shops to get some strapping for his knee which is unsurprisingly not great after long and high jumping at school today. He plans cricket trials, rounders in PE, cricket training and then a full match for his team after school tomorrow. Despite me trying to explain this is not sensible for somebody with OSD I don't seem to be getting anywhere.

    Off to check if DS2 has managed to get to sleep tonight and to see if DS1 knows where his old knee support is.

    Mega day tomorrow until about 9pm so flying and posting maybe minimal!

    Bossy great swimming by your DS

    Valli I have a countdown app on my iphone, I'm sure most smartphone types can get similar? Is that any use? Either that or I will be your own personal countdowner lol as our next holiday is the weekend before... (11 weeks on Saturday so I'm guessing the 23rd is 12 weeks on Wednesday?) :D

    Offer happily accepted Bossy. I haven't got a smart phone:( I had decided I would take the plunge and get one if I was working F/T in the future; so that's that.

    Got through day.

    Note to self. Next time children find a big spider WARN them before putting it (alive in a box) under visualiser and magnifying it 20x:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:(was about 1 METRE diameter!)

    We could see the HAIRS ON IT'S LEGS AND SPINARETS AND EYES AND MOUTHPARTS - it was fantastic - once the shock had been got over.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::cool:

    Wolfy - in my thoughts too x

    Huge posivibes to LW and Mr LW - will be thinking of you both and hoping all will be well.

    Welcome to all newbies and welcome back to all returners. Well swum, Master Moo!

    Had a lovely day with DGD1, and even managed to pop out for an hour this morning, leaving DH in charge. He is very impressed with CB€€bies, especially Mr Tumble. While DGD1 slept this afternoon, I managed to put up the first of two rose arches.

    Have decluttered 2 bags to CS and bought a brand new marble run for only £3.

    Early-ish bed calls. Good night all.
