    Narco and valli- very clever ladies! Well done! And loved the froggie pictures!:D

    I'm not going to update my list as I will do it properly tomorrow!

    But had a general tidy up and sorted out pressies for my boys. Ds1 asked for a 200 piece puzzle, which I had already purchased for his birthday and ds2 asked for a Mickey mouse dvd! Result! I'd already got one in my present box! So no expense needed! Added some books that I already had in as well! All wrapped and laid out for the morning. Have also done 2 x wm and tidied the living room.
    Tonight we had our service of light at church. So shared a lovely meal and then walked over to church with candles. Interesting with two small children! By the time we got back it was almost 9 o clock!

    My dad is also looking brighter and they might try and get him out of bed tomorrow or Monday. How boring must it be to be in bed for a week, not even being allowed to get up for the toilet! I would be climbing the walls!

    Anyway, good night and happy Easter all! Enjoy your day tomorrow x xx :icotbaske:EasterBun

    Morning flyladies. Happy Easter.

    Lovely flowers and table cover ladies. Well done.

    Just having strawberries and yoghurt for breakfast (in part to make up for the whole Easter egg last night). Will potter today. Won't plan anything particular as don't want to feel I haven't done things, IYKWIM. But I will come back to bore you with what I have done.

    So:
    Dogs fed
    Lamb in slow cooker

    Have a great day everyone.

    Morning all :easter:

    I did wash up last night so kitchen not too bad, needs 15 minutes to get it clear for cooking.

    DH's leg still bad so he'll be of no use today, best DS1&2 get up and help as I'll need to set the table up in the LR for lunch.

    Plan:
    Kitchen re covery
    Hoover downstairs
    DS2 to strip his bed, put the WM on
    hide little eggs
    Tidy away all papers in the DR
    Decide on pudding and make
    S&S bathroom and shower room
    Cook roast lamb
    Mask front door and paint

    You may not see me for a while! :EasterBun

    Happy Easter Flyladies!
    Very talented flyladies to arrange such lovely flowers and make such a clever table cover.

    Wot she said ^^^, and healing vibes for Mr Kitten's knee so that he may be of some use, and Lynne's ankle, as well as healing vibes for other Flyladies' poorlie relatives.

    Lurve the froggie foursome. Spring is defintely here.

    I decluttered two lodgers out and OH to London again yesterday so I have 48 hours to run amok here, tee hee. Various beds stripped, floors sydoned, the WM is on overtime, seedlings are coming on and there is positive news on the dog fostering front. It looks as though I may be having two (!) which rather threw OH when I told him. I'm no good dogless.
    Better is good enough.

    Happy Easter everyone! Hope you all have a lovely day x

    Gentle hugs to all those with injured legs / knees / ankles - seems to be a lot this week.

    And hugs also to all poorlies.

    LW - I'm so pleased you enjoyed your cruise and that you saw the Northern Lights - do you have any photos?

    Frodders, having lived in countries where rats were a pretty common sight, and seen a plague of them here in my farming days (very, very scarey as I was in amongst them), I've got to come clean and admit I find affection for them utterly mystifying. However, knowing how much they mean to you has changed my 'total aversion' to the above 'utterly mystifying,' so I hope your newly hatched ones make you very happy when you have them.
    Better is good enough.

    Morning all and Happy Easter!

    Just having a lie in whilst collecting my thoughts. DD2 and her finance spent 6 hours at the walk-in centre because his headaches are back. They were repeatedly told that it was important to stay and that he would see the Dr he saw when he was admitted with headaches in January. Instead he saw a different doctor who.told him to see his GP!!!!

    DD2 came back here afterwards and rushed to get ready for a mate's 21st, for which she was already late. Another mate was also late and offered a lift. She was supposed to turn up at 10pm, but actually arrived at 11.45. Poor DD2 would rather have got a taxi.

    Got back from meeting Ionafan to find DH looking upset. Seems DS has split with his young lady for the 4th or 5th time. Sigh. She had been living here for 3 months.

    I have awoken with a sore throat and a voice that is very low. There will be much joke cracking about it today.

    Hope everyone is well and having a good Easter. Looking forward to a glass of wine later.
    :jFlylady and proud of it:j
