Evening all

Thought I posted this aft but can't see it anywhere. Anyway, I've sorted the kitchen out and set the DW going. Had a committee meeting this eve so granny was on hand to put littlies to bed. And she brought my washing in :A How is some of it still damp? Suppose its been very still here today.

Need to make my bed, and will wash kiddies bedding tomorrow. They are having a sleepover at inlaws and I have no plans this weekend, so I can do some decluttering, flying and start planning my packing. Oh and I need to type the minutes from tonight's meeting. The headmaster has said we can get an early view of the new school premises over the summer break :T how exciting.

Which means tomorrow I'll probably just chill out with DD, spend some time with my baby girl.

Hugs natty hope you're feeling brighter soon, Rome wasn't built in a day, chick X

Thank you for your comment Ionafan x It looks worse when child is nearly 12. I'm just starting to feel better. It seemed the last straw earlier in the week and my aunt told me I should put him in residential care.

Cardy done all but 1/2 sleeve... not bad for a days work considering I was out for 5.5 hours...

Todays flying consisted of delegating and mopping my mothers downstairs.. too helpful for my own good!!

This list is a bit mammoth! DH has got the house looking very nice and up together at the mo which I'm grateful for. All the washing is done and is folded up on the table. I shall put it away when it's not so early.
Pigpen, the outfit you made Dot is lovely . I am currently (well, it's a frog) knitting that same blanket. I ran out of the yarn I started with so started on another which is a completely different texture. Wish I had mixed more of it or done the change earlier though as it's not "right" IYSWIM. I really must get on with it though as it will be gurt lush when it's finished.


Yesterday was lost as finished nights, then went to watch DS's sports day. At the end, he was feeling very unwell. I walked back to the school with them all and his class TA took him off to get him a drink and snack and I walked back to get my car. I had almost got to my car when they rang for me to go and get him. Poor boy. He's done this a couple of times recently. I think I am going to have to pack him something sweet to take with him wherever he goes. I know I get hypo episodes at times and it makes you feel ghastly.
Natty, sorry you're not feeling so good at the moment.
Hugs to anyone else who needs/ wants one.
Will get cracking when I have finished my coffee.
WISH clinic today for smear and coil change .

Right, I'm going to clean the windows.

Morning,

DS was in with me again last night. Had a chat this morning as he only does then when he's poorly or worried. He said he's scared about running away like he did at the wildlife park. On the one hand I wish he'd forget about it (and let me get some sleep, lol) but on the other its good it had such an impact on him, a healthy fear of getting lost won't do him any harm, considering we go abroad in a week...

Anyway, they are having picnic brekki in their rooms so I can have a HH lazy time.

Think I'll go check over the list, I'm all muddled as to what I have and haven't done

Hugs dancemum what a shocker for your aunt to say that but I suppose in years gone by that was somehow acceptable I know he's a bit older than my kiddies, but do you think end-of-school-year fatigue is getting to him too? Bless you, must be so hard. For him too Try get some time out in the summer to just "be" x
