    Frizzle - hope your little one is feeling better soon.

    Dogs walked, gardening jobs done. I'm now going to get clean and read until DH gets home then make dinner.

    Thanks jazee.

    I have munched a frog. Spent the last hour in the garage. Rearranging and threw a big box of rubbish in the bin. There is also some bits that need to go to the tip another day. Problem is we are hoping to move this year so we are holding onto things in case we need them in the new house! We have a whole shelf of car stuff mainly for car washing when we have probably washed the car once in the last two years (we usually take it to the car wash), but hh by won't let me chuck any of it!
    It doesn't help that there is stuff in our garage that doesn't belong to us but we use it in a weekly basis when we are doing our voluntary job. It's not even a few bits, probably two car loads of stuff all in all! Maybe I just need to create a better storage system, but again it will wait until the new house.

    Just trying to think about dinner. Ds1 doesn't want anything. Hubby says do something easy for ds2 and we will eat later. But it is usually easier to all eat together! He doesn't want beans on toast and I don't want to put the oven on twice! Hey ho, going to chill and have a cuppa and I'm sure OH will make a decision in the next hour!

    Made pancakes with the kids tonight. We did American style by adding baking powder to make them more fluffy. They didn't eat them lol. Well, one each (did small ones). They wanted a practice run :)if we make them on Tuesday I might see if I can freeze the leftover ones. I made the smallest batch possible with just one egg.

    Kitchen tidied after dinner and toys picked up from LR. Other than that just quality time with my babes. DD has been quite lovey dovey with me and cried a little at the thought of going to grannys for 2 nights cos she will miss me :A she will be fine and too busy once she's there, bless her. They are both shattered.

    DS has had one or two moments today but on the whole been really good. He quite enjoyed being chased by a hoard of 4 year old girls earlier lol.

    I'm having an early night after last nights shenanigans lol

    Lucky you, Valli! It looks lovely. We are hoping to go here tomorrow. They do an excellent ploughman's lunch!
    Glad you've had a nice day too, Dusty.
    Frizzle, GWS vibes to your DS1.
    mummyyof5, you're only as old as you feel. Some days I feel very youthful, others I don't :p
    Bossy, I hope the little moos are in a happy mood tomorrow.

    Flying today has consisted of replacing my defunct microwave (it was inherited when we bought this house and has served us well for 18 months - it was by no means new when we moved here), filing all the loose papers in the study bedroom, and starting to sort 2 identical resource boxes. I've got on quite well :) I also went to see my friend this evening.

    I have a :coffee: waiting for me downstairs so will take some course leaders' notes which need some pages replacing and work on them in the LR, to be sociable with DH.

    Goodnight all x
