    oh my.. so much snot!!

    Today I have received 1 of the 2 phones.. free upgrades so cheap as :) Why have they come separately when they were ordered half an hour apart? seems quite strange.. that or it means I am getting heaved out of bed first thing tomorrow too! :(

    Shelves coming at some point today.

    I need to go collect prescriptions and buy chloroseptic throat spray, it is the only thing that enables me to sleep, swallow and talk at the moment. Cold and flu tabs are needed too and glucose tablets for DS3.

    OH is being sent out for bread x 1000 I swear these children are part duck! he needs the remaining bits for cheesecake too so he can sort that at the same time.


    Cuppa time then I am off to sort laundry.

    I've stripped the kids beds, tidied round and set DW on. Kiddies picked their toys up - many thanks for the "look after your toys idea" it worked!

    We are now out at a play centre. It's not too rowdy, and I invited DS friend and his sister so they are having a good time running off steam without making a mess at home :D friends dad has gone home to supervise decorator. So I'm in charge of 4. We may even have lunch here...

    Chocs tied to playhouse for window cleaner so they don't blow away lol. I've had to rescue my mini greenhouse and the brown bin this morning :eek:

    Now having a :coffee: and wishing I'd brought the TV guide with me ;)

    Making the most of the windy weather, 2 beds striped, washed and on the line. going to put a third wash on now which can go on the maidens.

    DS3 dropped at his friends.
    Two parcels have arrived but I really could do with the remaining one as it is DS1&3's presents from my sister.
    Bread purchased. Still can't find any earrings suitable for my Mum, tried the town DS3's friend lives in.

    Just going to have a cuppa then DS2 and I are going to the cricket store, greengroccers and rubbish dump (all very close together in a village a few miles away.

    After that I think I'll do wrapping. Need to order repeat prescriptions for DS3 so will do that now before I forget.

    Shopping done and dusted and home again by 9.00 am.
    Breakfast eaten.
    Visited my friend, rang GP and got a prescription for her *immediately*, went to collect it and pick up meds from pharmacy, back to see her again. Her son was actually pleased to see me and talked to me for 5 minutes - more than he's been able to bring himself to do for ages :)
    Lunch heated up in microwave and eaten

    DH has now popped into town for his last-minute bits. He has toothache but won't ring the dentist :mad:

    I have an hour to myself before we set off to the Cathedral carol service via a garden centre, so I want to start making finger puppets for DGD2 and DGS3 :D

    All the shopping done although I've forgotten the mince beef so that will have to wait until Wednesday when I go and fetch some fresh bread. I've bought myself some Lucozade to see if it will recharge my batteries a little. I've eaten my dinner so I'm going to clean the fridge now before I put the rest of the shopping away.
