Really not keepng up with the lis this week. Today I have done three loads of washing, some ironing and general tidy up. We spent an hour in the garage boxing some stuff up and flung some cr*p! Let's just say it is a work in progress. We then went to town for five hours!! 3 hours in the bank going through mortgage application!, also went to post office and solicitor and had a rather nice lunch, just hubby and I! Then we rushed back as we had a race. By the time the kids were in bed it was gone 8 and after showers I barely had enough energy to tidy up the kitchen and wrap hubby's birthday pressies for tomorrow!
So I am going to look through e whole list and only write down the essentials!! Here goes.....

Morning all
DS3 work me at 5 as his brace was making his teeth ache, he is now sound asleep but I can't get back off so mogs are fed, DW emptied, draining board cleared and cuppa drank. I have a ginger purring its head off on my lap.
My GUAG is still on its holidays and has left me a black puppy to deal with.
DS1 refused to see sense and is not going to college today, it's hard to see them make mistakes.
Frizzle I hope the mortgage application works out
Bossy glad you had a good holiday
Lynne how is your recovery coming along?
Kaz sorry the blood test was unsuccessful, it makes so much difference who does it. I had the good guy who used the larger needle but got mine in one with no bruises. Better luck next time.The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -
Morning all
Hope everyone is well
Hugs get well and coping vibes where needed.
Mostly achieved basic s&sing this week but things will improve once I get a routine I'm sure.
Going to see what I can achieve in an hour
Have a good day allSPC~12 ot 124
In a world that has decided that it's going to lose its mind, be more kind my friend, try to Be More Kind0
