Just saving my list for later, I have a sicky boy at home and have spent the last 12 hours frantically rearranging the clients who were meant to be coming here for a workshop. I'm now off on a study afternoon for work and then the madness can commence again later on - just need DH to come back with the car and to take over for ds. Spent a happy hour this morning doing 10 x jigsaws with him, then he helped me clear up the sitting room/play room and hoover :
MRsMP - I'm in total awe of your decluttering. DH and I are going to tackle paperwork on the weekend - spread over 3 floors (downstairs, upstairs, loft.....) I don't think he will want to tackle the archive he keeps from both parents though

I've been busy but not flying
I have new shoes and cardis for my hols, and mum has spent £££s on a new ring instead of a watch. So I need to email my brother and see how much he wants to contribute :eek:
Scrabbling some food together - DD and I must go get some groceries before ballet tomorrow, eggs and beans tonight
Still, mum said she had a lovely birthday. DD got her favourite fish bites in the food court and I had a very slimming pack of teriyaki beef bites from M&S - even had some fruit for pud, but I will own up to pinching a couple of her chips
Beautiful spring day here today. Makes me feel all content.Bossymoo

I've bagged some stuff and decluttered it into the clothes bank, done a bit of cross stitch and folded and put some clothes away.
Trying to decide what to wear for a 'formal dining experience' I've been invited to with DS2 at school tonight. Got a text this afty to say Students dress code is full uniform escorting parent should wear full smart formal wear. Hoping smart dress and heels will suffice.SPC~12 ot 124

Right have swept all through downstairs and dysoned the stairs landing and into the bedroom doorways,the angel that's on the landing is now in our bedroom and the tiger that was evicted from the lounge is going at the top of the stairs to guard us. (don't really want him over the bed and angel seems more appropriate there) if that makes any sense at all!
Going to grab a shower and get ready now.SPC~12 ot 124
