    Very! Well done vanilla!

    I've done lunches, got school stuff ready and put the house to bed. My hair is washed and almost dry. I won't be out of bed much longer myself.

    Tomorrow is my early start at paid stuff <gah!> fingers crossed I will be out early too. I live in hope ;)

    Can I have flylady posivibes for my mama tomorrow please? The social worker is coming to tell the foster kids they are moving, and my mum thinks once the SW is gone, the kids will kick off. She's a bit worried about it :o

    Apparently the new Vanish gold is supposed to be very good too.

    I can tell no difference from it than the original stuff tbh.

    Good luck for your mum tomorrow, difficult situation all round.

    I've done the ironing, not much, and mended a top.

    Bed now, see you in the morning, sleep well.

    Posi-vibes all round for tomorrow, particularly for Lamewolf, Bossy's Mum and Mrs MoneyPenny's mil. Benign vibes for all DanceExaminers so DanceMum's students are not judged over-harshley.

  • Evening. ...been having a wrestle with the BD and have completely list a week.

    Going to be flying outside.....weeding Jedi style....my hedge trimmer is used like a light saber.

    EX has organised for some major repairs to the skint pitz over the next few weeks so I must get straight.

    Been in garden working from 10.30 to 9.30 tonight with only brief stops for DD4 and DS.

    Will carry on tomorrow.
    The cold never bothered me anyway
