    Morning All

    So far this morning I've sugarsoaped the radiator and painted it in DS's BR. Just waiting for DH to fetch me some masking tape now so I can paint the skirting boards.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Thank you for the update on Ginge, Mumto5! Lovely news.


    Back to my cane toad of a frog today. I think I may be able to get it off the desk this time. Here's hoping, anyway.
    Better is good enough.

    Morning all

    have emptied dw, pegged out 2 (small but washed by colour) loads, ironed all yesterday's and made a cake - all before 8:30 to use cheap leccy!

    Am off to work shortly because I am helping the teachers in the classroom where I am TA in the mornings. We are having a lunch - my instructions are to bring something sweet hence the lemon drizlle cake baking. Plus mum (parents have gone away) gave me a large lemon - if life gives you lemons make lemon drizzle cake! :rotfl:

    Wow! Your teachers are lucky to have you! I wish we got an extra pair of hands in the holidays. We have done 8 days between me and my partner teacher and there is still stuff to do. It's amazing how long tray and peg labels take to make!

  • Morning all, DW and wm on. DS2 been left to cookery, deserts today so I expect he'll bring something yummy home.


    Rest of kids still in bed so i'll go drag them out. Plan later is to lift DS2 and then medical review followed by vets.
