Did someone say drink Burtha? I know I'm a bit late but mines a whisky, straight please.

Hope you trap the furry visitor Ivyleaf. Or that he moves on.

6 DGC Hester? I think it'd be unsafe not to have a drink

The landscaper came round yesterday evening for his final money and he said seeing the work I'd done so far and how fast I'd done it he was giving serious thought to employing me :rotfl: as much as I'd enjoy it in the depths of winter, I'd never manage the other 10 months of the year here. Frankly that's why I'm hurrying on now, before things warm up.

Monna it's never to late to drink!
Always 5 o'clock somewhere... :j

Margarita on the rocks with an extra shot of tequila. Why fool around?

Well I survived 26 hours of childcare for varying amounts of children, including two year old twins and an 18 month old. I made and served a picnic lunch for 6 children and 2 adults. I took the last 2 home just after 5 having collected their mum from work on the way to their house. I am renaming my youngest DGD Boudicca, she is such a thug, her cousin tried to give her a kiss because she had an ouchy and she thwacked him one. Still a cuddle from Nanna soon stopped them both crying.

DD1 and her DH were house hunting and have put an offer in, DD2 was at work and her DH took their 12 year old to play in a football tournament, hence my childcare duties. I also hung out DD's washing, did 4 loads of my own including DGS's uniform for next week and hubby cut down a plum tree that was poorly sick.

Today I need to catch up with my jobs, I am dressing another room today ready to put my house on the market, phew!

Softstuff We caught the mouse overnight with a "Little Nipper" trap, poor little thing. We're going to buy some humane traps tomorrow and see if we get any customers, in which case we'll drive to the park and release them there. Fingers crossed that's far enough away for them not to come back.

Ivyleaf, I'm afraid with mice I'm merciless I'm always afraid of them nibbling through wiring.

Not even 8am, ive already got a load of laundry on and have cut hubbys hair. At least I hope the cut was okay... can hardly see at this time in a morning :rotfl:

Hester I am in awe of your childcaring. Kids scare me. Glitter and kids? :eek:
