    Emmb lovely to see you x

    JJ we have a while billy bookcase from I£ea tucked behind the kitchen door which we use for shoes, also cycle helmets and each 'child' has a box with gloves etc in. Works really well for the 5 of us.

    Wash 1 on the line
    Wash 2 in progress

    Wasted time on FB - did you know there is an 'other inbox'? Tried to send a message to a cousin I never knew I had but it has gone to the secret box so doubt they'll see it.

    I have 30 minutes before I take DS3 to climbing so best I start the hoovering

    Thank you frodders, I've been given some extra hours at work with a child who uses makaton, I've borrowed the book with the signs they know and keep looking through to practise the ones I think I'll need.

    Rang insurance to confirm they recieved the cheque, rang orthodontist have been given an emergency appt for this afternoon, so going to press my cross stitches as framer is in the same town so will use the journey wisely and fit both jobs in.
    As the ironing board is coming out I'll tackle the bit of ironising as well, going to set up in the garden as its so nice now the fog has lifted.

    So far so good.

    Kiddies carry-ons packed. DS was looking for a particular toy car yesterday, bless, he must have forgotten he'd put it in his little case :)

    I've tidied, and have a nice space in the garage now, so my case is laid on the floor currently with not a lot in it.

    And sorry I forget who asked but we are going to Lanzarote - and we need to leave the house at 3am :eek: actually, the kiddies love that bit - and experience tells me it's best to have the naff flight on the way out when they are excited, and the good flight for the return.

    MIL is in charge of the tickets and has our passports :eek: so we will double and triple check her bag when she gets here tonight :rotfl: they once missed a flight as they got half way to the airport and realised they'd left the hand luggage back home. Yikes. I shall be watching and ticking off every item to go into the car, lol.
    Right - my hand luggage next :D

    DW x 1
    Wm x 3 :eek: all on line
    Yesterday's washing ironed and airing
    Windows open
    MORE chocolate moved from LR

    Am stupidly thrilled - a couple of months back I bought 3 x raspberry canes from Ald! and followed instructions re planting (soak roots overnight in water) and nothing seemed to be happening. Leaves have appeared on the blackcurrants; rhubarb's growing like mad but raspberries looked dead - but I have JUST checked and now, on each stem, leaves are breaking out of buds. Wooty wooty woot woot WOOT!woohoo1.gif

    emmb - welcome back - hope you've brought cake;)

    Bossy happy hols!beachfun.gif
