    Good morning flyladies. I haven't read right back but lovely hearing about babies, houses, ops going well and holidays.
    And for those having panic attics or other worries in their lives, I hope things perk up soon.

    I'm up early as LittleyDog wanted to get up. Needless to say both dogs are now fast asleep but DD is coming over this morning so shattered as I feel I can't go back to bed. So, I've sorted the fridge (can't claim its perfectly clean), done the menu plan and shopping list for the week.

    Next is washing up, get dressed, then I'm going to get out in the garden before DD arrives. Dog walking and shopping will be done with her.

    Have a great day everyone.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Morning all

    Hope everyone has a good weekend.
    Doing the CS run after shopping this morning so 8 bags should be decluttered. Just asked DH about a picture we have in the bedroom, I asked if he liked it, he said you put it there, a neighbour gave it us when she had a theme change so it just got hung in our room as it didn't fit anywhere else. Now agreed that neither of us really like it that's being added to the CS pile. It's a nice enough picture hand painted and varnished wood with a geshia carved from what looks like mother of pearl. It just doesn't fit our room so one of my cross stitches that's sitting in the spare room can go there instead.
    Can't wait to see the next gift aid letter we get from the CS hopefully they'll make a bit from all our cast offs.

    Morning all

    Few basic bits of flying done, going to hoover and mop next. AF is here being a real pita so struggling a bit.

    House doesn't look too bad.

    Elastic I'm doing an airport run on Mothering Sunday to collect DH, only benefit is I'm already 2/3rd of the way there at DS3's cricket.

    Going to text Mum and do my card and present drop this afternoon as I can't fit it in tomorrow.

    Well done mrs MP on the CS drop, I've also just mended 2 pairs of jeans.

    DS3 being as grumpty as can be, surging ormones and DS1 annoying him.

    Floors mopped and hoovered.

    Kittens fed, birds fed. Going to cut up a few branches now and then look at some paint charts.

    Cut some branches up in the garden and stacked them away
    WM2 done and on the airer
    Visited Mum and took DS1&3 with me

    Black cat is off colour so probably has an abscess as his face is a bit manky looked, going to risk bathing it and giving him some cat drugs.
