    Bossy Ted be home for bedtime tomorrow vibes

    Boddy as somebody who had to use the hospital a lot this weekend with Mum thank you for what you do

    I've read to DS3
    Tried to reason with DS1 about his new job, which he does not like

    I'm having a glass of wine, I don't really drink anymore but I feel so stressed atm and I so want to sleep a bit more tonight.

  • Morning everyone, am I first up and about? Where's Jazee, she is normally around at this time.

    Yesterday was disastrous, my parents called needing help filling in a form then OH landed home from work early so I got nothing done.

    The mess from the kitchen is getting to us all and we have got a long way to go. The builder is back again today and will hopefully be finished by the end of the week.

    Quite a bit of paid stuff today. I must do some work on job no. 2 as well.

    Hope Ted returns Bossy, we have been there and I know what its like.

    Right off to wake DS2 and get moving.

    Morning!

    Have DS in bed, seems he can't manage without me and ted :( but to be fair he's not disturbed me, he doesn't move in his sleep like DD would.

    So I have a shorter paid stuff day, and from home, lovely :T I can do both school runs myself (more chance of locating missing teds!) and poss get a wash on too.

    Last night I cleaned the main bathroom sink loo and floor - DD will be in th bath tonight so I'll clean the shower screen and window then and sort the bath after. I also sorted the floordrobe into boxes for the top of my cupboard (which just need slotting in) and a few bits to hang up. Which I might get done this morning while the littles have brekki. They are not awake yet <gotta love em when they're snoozing> :D
    Bossymoo

    Away with the fairies :beer:

    hope the Pigpen and Dusty got the sleep they needed
    sending finding vibes. for the wanderlust ted to bossy
    hugs good wishes and positive vibes to all who need them

    govs meeting last night followed by a bit of knitting and the most amazing 2 hour phone convo with my lovely friend - we might not call each other very often but when we do we sure catch up!

    found out last night the baby i started knitting a blanket for last weekend is actually now overdue! only seems a couple of months friends said their DD was expecting so i think i need to knit faster on that

    took a set of 8 wimpy kid books (wed got them twice) to the govs meeting last night and donated them to the school library, also gave them one of the folded book art things i did. a bit more out.

    facia people are due back at 8am which is a bit of a bug as its lashing down here, ironically they would have finished yesterday as they made really good progress but the surveyor had not ordered something for the eaves part of the job so they took all that off ready to replace this morning. im really pleased with all the work they did. they even took my ratty battered old ariel to the tip for me - didnt really need it as it was only a wobbly bird roost and we get freeview through the old sky box that weve cancelled subscription for. thought wed have to pay to have a new ariel up so pleased about that.
