My moos are in bed. Following a rather interesting internet investigation of the blue whale. Lol. DS asks some fab questions.

Have made littlest moo her last packed lunch of this term, and she can have a mini pack of biccies in as a treat. DS has a school party tomorrow so non-uniform. DD wants to wear a frilly skirt. She has been told that's ok but she won't be able to go to the party. Will see if I've anything nice to send to wraparound club for the littlies to have a treat...

Just having a cuppa then will do the floors. And find DS "iron man" tshirt he wants to wear

Tiresome Tuesday - Living Rooms and Dining Rooms
Eat a frog

Valli

More washing hit the line this morning before work; I have ironed it plus some left overs from yesterday

That REALLY is all I can manage; though I have just eaten a couple of frogs - one of which almost as soon as it appeared on my 'to do' list! *feels virtuous*

I have another frog - might as well 'swallow' it while I'm in the mood!

Utility bills paid and I have checked out how much my energy consumption has reduced in the last year.. it has dropped massively! I bet a fair chunk is down to the socky peggy things and not using the dryer for undies!


older bugs in bed.. Dot and pixie.. not... I really need them to sort their sleeping patterns.. they are both terrible. Pixie is ok once she goes down but Dot gets up every few hours all night every night.. though we had our first nappy free night and no wet bed last night!! Better than Squeak can manage!!

I'm sat down amongst the bomb site that is my living room knowing that if I go in the kitchen I will be attacked by dirty dishes BUT today I have sorted my son's toys (the ones downstairs), sorted some 2-3 vests to send to my friends and my downstairs bathroom is sparkling. I'm pleased with my progress my son has nursery tomorrow morning but I will be back at it when we get home.

Oh I even managed to put the washing machine on and the dishwasher

So, I haven't updated.
I was too late to send posi vibes but I was doing so in spirit whilst reading!
Piggers, lovely photos
So I have got all 4 of us packed for holiday.
Packed DS for scout camp (we drive from heathrow to home, pick up his bag and carry on to Huish woods for his camp!).
Persuaded DH that he needs no more than 3 pairs of size 11 shoes to go on holiday. It's crazy, I have split mine and DD's clothes between 2 bags and DH's and DS's between the other 2. Theirs are huge!
Thankfully, DD hasn't complained when I removed the majority of her stuff.
I have packed wash stuff and told the family that I will be finding a laundromat in lone pine as we will have no undies left!
Garden minced, front cleared, side wall has has the budlia (sp?) removed and doused with weed killer as it's splitting the wall in half.
Washing done.

Need to: Maths test tomorrow
Clean bathroom and downstairs loo.
Hoover through upstairs and downstairs.
Stop at Asda and buy kitty food.
Give neighbours key.

Mil keeps going on and on about hotels doing free parking if you stay there before you fly. She's driving me potty as she just won't listen. We leave here at 4am Thurs. parking is booked and paid for. It has cost over £100 less than a hotel would have done and the hotel would only give 2 weeks parking and wouldn't provide free transfers. Raaaaaaaaar! (Sorry, rant over ).
Don't think there's much more to do, will be able to see better once DH has got bulky cases into car tomorrow afternoon so I can get hand luggage ready.

Now I'm telling you this as you'll all feel my pain,
We have been planning this holiday for months. I have checked passports left, right and centre, knowing I need 6 months for USA. DH wanders into kitchen on Sunday night saying "my passport expires while we're away" :eek:. Damn fool of a man read the day and month but not the year grr. He is now buried under the patio. (Well, almost!).
