Oh carp, missy hope it's not as bad as you fear xx
Welcome back and happy birthday, FBO xx
Welcome to newbies too, lovely to have you!
I've not stopped today but sadly it's not been flying. We left at 7.40am and other than a quick dash in for a change of clothes we didn't get home till 6pm. Then I went back out to SW (lost another 1.5lb:T) and home for 9.
Had a quick chat with my mum (who had done my ironing whilst babysitting) then made pack up, had a shower and here I am. Phew.
Actually, I did set the DW going, wash up what was left and put a wash on.
Kiddies are in breakfast club and after school club tomorrow <insert guilty mum smiley> so with any luck I will get out of work in time to pick up some groceries on the way to collect them. Otherwise it's cereal for dinner! <insert guilty mum smiley>
It's a good job they love me, I'm a bit crap lately...Bossymoo

Well I crashed on today. The kitchen wasn't too bad so didn't take long so I cleaned the bathroom and then did both the floors.
I swept the balcony down, boxes, chairs, table etc and then wiped them all over and tidied it all away ready to get some plants at the weekend fingers xd.
Emptied out the porch and banged the mats, swept it all down ceiling, walls and floors and then washed door, window, sills and floors. Washed the bin and cleaned all the recycling boxes. When it was dry put it all back and put recycling stuff in boxes.
If it's gone I've done it or I don't have one

Morning everyone
Need to get in the shower and get ready for paid stuff. Achy legs from my gym class last night but it was fun.
Might take DS to the garden centre this afternoon and get some bedding plants to do my tubs for the patio. Normally they are done by now, dont know why I havent got around to it. Living room needs a dust and hoover but not too bad.
One load of washing out, dishwasher emptied. Forgot to take the chicken out of the freezer that we were going to have for tea so might call at L*dl.
Have a good Tuesday.0 -

Sticks spoons and posi vibes by the bucketful for all to take as needed.
Mil was told it is arthritis in her ankle she was a bit upset and said the Dr didn't seem to care or want to listen, she then when through a whole list of things shed told him were bothering her then she said he then reeled off the whole list of her ailments and the treatments and medication she's receiving and she's claiming he said he doesn't see what else they can do for her. I wasn't there so don't know if to take some of it with a pinch of salt. I know it was an emergency appt so she was only supposed to go with just the pain in her leg so he may have been rushed or she felt she was.
got extra hours at work again today, want to finish the edging on the blanket, yesterday's list and do as much off today's as I can.
Went cinema last night to see entourage the movie, wasn't brill quite crude for a 15 and didn't really go anywhere (never seen the series so can't compare) the friends we went with walked out half way through. I honestly didn't think the word starting with C should be used in a 15 especially not by a young child! But maybe that's just me being a bit prudish.SPC~12 ot 124
