    JTTOU - flylady vibes coming your way to help deal with the stress
    Bossy - just hugs

    So far this morning, I have checked banking, had breakfast, fed the dogs (OldDog decided to be sick instead, so another call to the vet this morning is in order) and I've already washed some of our bedding and got it on the line.

    Next is get dressed and the bedroom jobs from yesterday's list. I also need to pop to docs to pick up a prescription on the dog walk before the paid stuff.

    Have a great day everyone.

    Thanks sweetie, I am fine, just more disorganised and over stretched than usual this week:D, list is now done.

    Bossy so sorry to hear the sad news, hugs to the family and your too sweetie, it is hard to try to make sense of life sometimes, it all seems so random and unbalanced.

    My house is an amazing state atm but as the decorator is not coming today I plan to be here flying this afternoon (after pilates and a birthday brunch with the group ;))

    Support and love to you all, will report in once I return.

    Ooh is it your birthday dusty? Hope you have a lovely brunch / day xxx

    I've had a whizz round this morning picking up (again). And swept LR floor, set DW on after brekkie and wiped down the table and kitchen tops. DS is away to school, and I'm taking DD to ballet in an hour. So just having a brew and writing yesterdays food diary and being shockingly honest with myself. I had two brioche rolls, a donut and a tube of smarties yesterday. Why? No idea. I did so well in the morning - just had a cuppa in the cafe while DD had a smoothie and a gingerbread man. Then. I ruined it.

    Not today! Just had a lovely fruit platter with some natural greek yoghurt on and a cuppa, and I feel totally satisfied. We will come home for lunch today but I do want to pop to the pound shop (next door to ballet) so we might go early.

    This aft I'm going to take the duster and vac upstairs. And I might give the downstairs loo a S&S.

    Need to decide what's for kiddies tea - I'll have something out of the freezer - might get a chilli pasta bake out to defrost.

    Tomorrow we might pop up to town - DS needs a holiday hair cut (he wants to go the the turkey man, lol, there is a Turkish barber in the market who he likes as he oils his clippers well and doesn't "pull my hair" heheh), a beavers sweater for me to sew all his badges on and I want to buy a gammon from the pork butcher.

    Then granny and gramps are visiting (they are home, hurrah, and bringing me an emergency pickled onion supply :))

    Bossy no, my friend's birthday but I still had a lovely time.

    Who wants to join me for an hour's emergency flying at 2:15?

    Can emergency paid stuff count? If so, I'm in. Just having a cuppa and a break before I go crazy and then need to crack on again. So much for an early finish for the weekend.

    Dancemum and pigpen, you each deserve an award for the amount of flying you've done today :T :T

    Elastic, would you like to come and cut down my laurel bush too?

    I have done nothing today except one load of washing, a few emails and phonecalls, and a bit of cooking :(
    Oh, and bought a garden pond pump, some flowers and a scrapbook!
