    Afternoon all


    Bright and breezy here atm but the black clouds are starting to lurk.


    Today I have watered all the balcony boxes and tidied the balcony.
    Sorted all the recycling sorted and boxed ready to take to rc centre.
    S&S'd the kitchen and bathroom and just about to have some lunch.


    Think the afternoon will be more paper-work de-cluttering as it's starting to build up unless DH gets back from work and wants to go shopping.


    Back laters - have a great afternoon everyone

    oh dear, the clergy has thoroughly wiped all of us out this week - zero flying since wednesday :( I've been teaching this morning though and dh has been a superstar and completely turned it around downstairs.

    Off on hols tomorrow, but we completely forgot about the cats :eek::eek: and I'm now scratching around desperately to get someone to feed them/check on them mon/tues!!!!! eeeeeeeek!!!


    ds is on a bit of a roll at the moment, coming top in the skills points award over the course of the term at football practice, with that trophy,his medal for being in winning team at champions league and his participation trophy that they all get, he is dripping in trophies!!!! Seeing as he's only been playing for 2 terms and we are NOT a football family I think he's done pretty well. They want him to move up to the 6/7 group although he is still 5 till the summer :/

    hugs to Bossy and all that need them - especially the absent flyladies xx

    eta - the clergy of all religions can be blamed for lots of things, but thankfully it was only the lergy that wiped us out :D

    Those pesky clergy mamaninie :D

    Great news frizzle

    Just waiting for WM (again). Grandparents visited, lovely to see them and lots of talk about our hols! My mum was here with foster baby then her car broke down half way up the road. She had no supplies for him! The AA man arrived as I was about to set off to the supermarket for nappies and baby formula!

    Anyway, she's home now and is taking my advice to keep an emergency bag in the boot of the car - handful of nappies, pack of wipes, cartons of lee made formula etc. I still keep one now with spare pjs and undies and calpol plus a supply of DD meds just in case we get stuck anywhere...

    Nothing else much going on. Just pulled out a bag of summer shoes to see what I've got.

    Away with the fairies :beer:

    Mainly doing odd jobs and bits and bobs but making some progress. Off to dust the bedrooms next as the boys are out playing cricket at the club.

    DH is also fixing many random things.

    Hiya


    I've sorted a heap of paperwork and checked all the financial stuff on-line that I can. One of my accounts has vanished overnight as it was there yesterday ?? so will have to get on to them on Monday.


    Just having a cuppa and then going freezing diving to check for supplies


    MinnieMousesMummy - Hope you get good news about the job you've interviewed for
