Evening all. Not too bad today, teenage sons bedroom sorted, took a while as everything attracts dust like a magnet. The carpet is a pain, the cat hairs stick like Velcro. Daughters bedroom done and landing done. Our bedroom and bleach bathroom on tomorrow's list. Got the flash spray bleach with fabreez and it smells lovely, not as overpowering as bleach smell.
Mowed front and back lawns and took some more garden stuff to tip. Cleaned chickens out. These new hens aren't laying very well, if they aren't broody they are moulting ��
Hugs, spoons and chocolate and belated birthday wishes.

I have been busy. Along with Mum DD and I have been to look for more studenty requisites. I am dreading her going - it wasn't so bad last year when I still had my baby. I KNOW she can look after herself. I KNOW she'll be fine.

But I will have an empty nest.

Big squishy hugs; I'm dreading DS2 going and I'll still have 1&3 at home. Between you and me I'm starting to get myself in a right state about it and he will only be an hour away. We will be here for you every single day, small consulation I know.

Been feeling ropey all evening so just been laying on the sofa wathing tv.

Bossy thinking of you and hoping all goes smootbhly

*YAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWN* .. I was hoping for an early night while OH went out and DD1 turned up and left at 12:30am so it was gone 1 before I was in bed again.. early night tonight then I guess.!!


I almost caught up with where my knitting was before I pulled it all back.. only taken 3 days! I have the next dozen projects lined up too which will keep my hands occupied I hope.

I need to sort so much stuff today.. OH is finishing the bunks and then I get to sort the girls room, in the meantime I get to sort the back room and empty, photograph the corner sofas to be rehomed.. they have 2 days if not interest they are going to the tip!!

I need to call my step-pa to see if he can fit this sofa in his car to take to DS1.. his seats lie flat and ours don't.. the one flaw with our car tbh.

I still need to get a coffee/tv table and Noel is at vet at 9:50.. I'm just hoping he will be just needing drugs and nothing else my lovely old puss.. he and his brother are 15 on the 29th.. they share DS1's birthday!
