    Morning all
    Hope everyone is as well as can be.
    Natty special coping hugs for tomorrow, we will all hold you and your Dh in our thoughts and be willing everything to go well.
    CY special vibes for to to help you cope with all that is going on in your life.
    Hope the migraines start clearing and the little ones start behaving as they need to.
    Need to ring dad and step mum today, I wanted to visit last week but their little dog had to go to the vets so they didn't want guests.
    I'm in work all afternoon today so must get stuff done this morning, our rooms looks alright as I gave that a blitz yesterday when I first got up, just need the dysorn, a duster and the window cleaning in there. Bathroom really only needs the mirror and floor doing, I haven't looked at today's list yet so once I've checked a few emails I'll do that.
    I know it sounds really silly but the extra work I'm being given and the fact I'm clearing unwanted stuff (flyondoing) it is really helping clear my mind and keep me sane.
    Have the best day you can all, (in the words of Arnie) I'll be back once I've decluttered the boys. Off to hang the washing out first.

    Pooh bear yes deal with the list however you find best, I used to love doing it that way but since the outer died and I'm permanently on the iPad I find it awkward to do that as I haven't fully mastered what I'm doing on this yet. I've had to resort to paper lists again

    Morning all. Paperwork for me this morning.

    Just want to say good luck to CY, and Natty's DH for tomorrow in case I don't get a chance to pop in again today.

    Have a great day everyone.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Morning all,
    Glad its living room today- my sofas need a scrub! I have a trip to Aldi planned this morning to collect huge amounts of fruit for beaver camp, plus I want DD to have a nap and she won't unless I lay on the bed with her. Tonight we are packing, I've written DS a list so he can pack his own rucksack.

    Here's wishing everyone a peaceful day xx

    Hi all

    Hope you are feeling OK Natty, thinking about you and your OH. And thinking about CY too.

    I am feeling quite chirpy this morning. Going to the gym definitely improves my mood but it was so hot in there last night!! Paid stuff this morning then I have nothing scheduled for this afternoon so I can please myself. And DS is out so I am on my own. Now that doesnt happen very often!

    Have a good day everyone x

    Busy day yesterday so very little flying.

    Today is a finishing off lots of things day. Mum has been sent home from hospital, needs to see consultant in a couple of weeks and then they will think about the op again. I need to go food shopping for her and visit plus get cards and presents for her birthday tomorrow.

    Hugs all round, be back later.

    For the love of chickens... this child is refusing to have a nappy on *cry*

    DS1 needs a slap... he came round at 4am, woke up the girls who didn't go back to sleep and started shouting his mouth off... with the word Peace and a gay pride rainbow on his forehead... he kind of needed a boot print next to it! He is getting a roasting today IF he dare answer his phone, which is unlikely because he doesn't normally!

    washing out.. mini-minxes pulled it off the line so I had to hang it out again..
    Buzzy Bee rescued from the floor.. the cat eats them if they are left pootling about on the ground and Pixie wanted to pick it up :eek:

    decree absolute found.. guess I can abduct the postie or the optician now.. wonder what the posties name actually is.. I know his first name is Lee and the grumpy one is Steve.. I see my posties a LOT! haha!

    DS1 sent a text apologising.. little turd is still getting what for 23 is NOT too big to have strips ripped off you by your mother!

    DD1 is anxious in case KH turns up there so her OH isn't allowed out for the next 2 weeks.. good job he is off work then! :p


    Trying to persuade OH to apply for store manager of the shop round the corner.. it is FT and I would struggle lots with school runs but it would be good for us all I'm sure. I'm not having much luck!
