    Morning all.

    I'm going to quickly wash the breakfast dishes, then make a start on the lists, get dressed and walk the dogs before the paid stuff. Right - 2 hours - here I go....

    Have a great day everyone.

    Morning everyone.

    Cat fed and watered.

    Will look at list and see what I can get done. Need to nip out and pick some posters up for my friends holistic festival. Will do a bit of shopping while out.

    DD coming for lunch. Ninja cat likes the this as she feeds him meat from her sandwiches. He was very disappointed one week when she didn't have any.

    Skint B. Healing vibes.

    Hugs, spoons and sticks where needed.

    Morning everyone. Was doing paperwork until half nine last night so didnt manage a lot else yesterday. Didnt have the best nights sleep either, it seems so warm in the house!

    Will manage a bit of living room tidying and cleaning after the paid stuff this morning then more to do on job number 2. Finding it hard to motivate myself to do much of anything at the moment, not sure why.

    Ah well, best get breakfast and get ready for work.

    Morning all :)

    Managed to get the house to a good standard of clean & tidy yesterday & Monday. Today is my first day at work (nervous :eek: ) so I won't have as much time to tidy from now on :( When I get home from work the kitchen, living room & bedroom need a quick tidy & pick up. We need to go shopping at the weekend and buy some sort of storage for the study as the paperwork is an absolute mess and needs a proper sort out so that will be the big job this week :)

    Pinches, punches, white rabbits and tinsel!!

    Dot loves her new bed... on night 1.. she seemed cold with just the duvet though so had her cot duvet on too.. she does get very very cold and turns blue! She was up at 1am for an hour. Pixie slept from 10pm-8am!!!!!!!!! A-mazing!! She woke at some point, drank a bit of juice and went back to sleep.. long may this continue!! Still need to convince her 7-8pm is bedtime but that will come I'm sure.

    no school run this morning since Squeak was sick yesterday so she is back Friday but Tiddles is still to go but KH taking her today.

    Offski to make a cuppa and then I might think about doing some flinging.. I need to get some ebay stuff listed too .. and have a few bits to post.

    Morning!

    I've been reading but not retaining, so sorry if I miss anyone.
    pigpen KH is just amazing what he comes out with isn't he? Some people will always blame others for their poor behavioural choices :(
    dancemum and dusty posivibes for both your boys and their struggles x
    skinty healing vibes to you and to your mil, mrs mp and to the lamewolf household too.

    Kidlets are away to school, bags and bags of stuff to take on Wednesdays, although DD got rather cross when I said no to taking her little mermaid doll. After last weeks shenanigans with missing teds I'm not allowing toys to school again. Even if "but I will hold it tight all day" lol. No.

    Today if it stays dry I will cut the grass tonight. It rained last night but the sun is out so if I leave it till tea time it might dry.

    I dusted and vacced all downstairs yesterday so if I have time during paid stuff, my challenge will be to tackle the apple mountain. I'm fed up of seeing them...

    Then I will look at polishing mirrors etc just so I've done something actually off the list ;)

    ionafan if we are starting a new challenge I want to get 8lb off this month pls

    Away with the fairies :beer:
