Afternoon all!
Lovely day had by all at Legoland yesterday, although the weather was horrible. A bit of a scary journey home, several parts of the road we were aquaplaining :eek:
Just can't get warm today, hope I'm not coming down with anything. I have a bit of ear pain but apart from that and feeling so cold I feel fine.
No sign of Mr O&O :cool: (I know, no-one needs to say anything, I'm a fool)
Lists are still horribly long so I'm not posting them I'm going to have a coffee then get on

Biscuits DD baked have been eaten She's going to wash up, then I'm going to go in the kitchen to see whats what in the cupboards while she has an hour on the laptop Once she's kicked off the laptop at 3pm by the curfew set, I'll do my work (mine isn't happy today, must be doing updates or something its running so slow again) and then hopefully I can get a box of stuff packed up and make a big dent in the necessary clutter of my work cupboard

No idea what to do for tea yet. I'm not feeling good & can't work out whether its AF, the chips/curry sauce we had from the chippy last night, or the white bread I bought (all the shop had left), but whatever it is I wish it'd hurry up and move on. Think I'll get the wheatbag out and see if that helps.

Best shift myself or I'm going to fall asleep :wave:

I just spent an hour in the girls room mucking out and not only can you not tell I am bored witless!!! I am trying to get it sorted mainly because I think the destruction is disturbing the littlies sleeping.

WM's both full but not on and TD on.
DW emptied
Dry laundry folded ready to go away.

I am now STARVING.. but may as well wait for dinner now, though I have no idea what I am doing.. might be lasagne again lol. Actually.. oh just bought Spudatoes so I may do sausage and mash..

I need to run to chemist to collect DS3's prescription and I needed something else which I have forgotten... bother....

Hi all

Hope you're well. Not really had chance to catch up. We had a good time camping, glad we came home though as weather is v grim today. And of course I am working . The littlies got to take doggies for walks - in the woods at dusk (supervised of course!) - my cousin has a rather cute little King Charles so of course all the kiddies wanted to hold her lead (rather than my aunts boisterous highland terrier :rotfl:)

Kiddies are at school club today, but I will go get them shortly, we are having our hair cut at 4.

For all those who like to watch the birdies, we've had lots of magpies hanging around today, and I saw a baby / youngster perched on my fence. Aww, it was all brown fuzz on top but you could just see the black and white of its wing underneath. Never seen such a little one before!

So. After hair cutting and dinner, I will be cleaning the DR floor and bathing the little ones. They both fell asleep in the car coming home last night. Have v amusing pic of them both conked out catching flies. But it meant they didn't really get cleaned up.

I am eating an elephant - one bite at a time.

I've vacced everywhere, and mopped the kitchen and bathroom floors. Someone must have spilled instant coffee on the floor and not bothered to sweep it up :mad: so there were about a million sticky black dots welded to the vinyl. The mop bucket was minging by the time I'd finished.

Went to Ald!, stuck to my list very well, realised when driving home that I'd forgotten to hand over the £5 voucher I have :mad: I'm tempted to go back tomorrow and buy £40 worth of cider, just so the coupon doesn't go to waste you understand

Dusted and tidied our bedroom, there were a fair few bits of my clothing scattered around so they're back in the wardrobe. Hair and body care drawer tidied out, nothing flung but at least I can see what's in there now.

LR dusted and tidied, pile of the girls carp dumped on the floor of their room but it was such a mess already, I'm not sure they'll spot the difference.

DS1 has let me down big time this afternoon, so all forms of online entertainment have been confiscated for the next fortnight. I'm very disappointed in him

Bon appetit!

DH has had a lovely day and is now sorting out his man-cave

I am still struggling with the first unit (of four) for this course. I am determined to get it done this evening! Somehow the first one is always difficult but then the rest usually follow on quite easily. (I hope that applies this time too.) I'll go and do tea and then carry on again afterwards.

Goldfinches have been on the nyger seeds most of the day :T Robins are demanding mealworms, but the starlings and wood pigeons push their way in first and scoff the lot.

To get to the top corners on the stairs and such like, I use an 8' garden cane, and put an old rag on it and wave it around inthe tops corners.!!
