    Morning all
    Hugs where needed.
    Made and iced the cakes for the fete, they'll go work this morning. Doing two hours weeding at school then paid stuff so won't be around much today. Ds2 actually asked for haircut money this morning, just when I'd given up nagging and taken the hint he wanted to look like a younger member of status quo.
    Headmaster at ds2s school asked him if ds1 had been to Elvis Costello concert the other night, answer yes, is it cos he's so tall you spotted him. Well that and his hair! LOL. Get away with nothing my lads.

    Squeaks bed stripped.. again.. even her pillow was wet!! Good job I invested in waterproof pillow covers!

    2x WM


    OH putting cereals away.. I have an hour for WM's to finish then I am beating the laundry mountain and I need to vacuum through the house again.

    I found some 60's soda syphon things I am throwing at ebay.. I love them but they are rammed in a cupboard and I need the space for more important things.. like food and pans and one of OH's coffee machine things.. my kitchen looks like a coffee shop at the moment! I want clear surfaces again!

    Oh my word feeling restless and CBA today; need to try to get my bum off the sofa. Had a good walk with my friend and she told me a few home truths which I didn't really want to hear and it's really shook me up. I think that's a good friend though - not to bull***t you but be honest.

    Anyhow, need to try to get upstairs and attack S's room - Z can do her own as she's old enough and has enough free time. If anyone fancies joining me for a HHC then feel free - I'll toddle on now.

    Aww, my special birthday present has arrived :T I love it. I had been toying with the idea of having a piece of jewellery made from my engagement ring and our wedding rings. But then decided I wanted to preserve them. Then my mum and brother agreed they would club together for my pressie, so i ordered a new ring. It's like a wedding band but has little star shaped indents all the way round, and a tiny diamond in each one. It's inscribed on the inside "Love Endures" - the same as the plaque we had made for DH.

    I'm really pleased with it - sounds very bling, but it's not, it's pretty and delicate and unassuming. Lord knows I'm not those things :rotfl:

    Shopping due to arrive any time, might go tackle my dumping ground hallway while I'm waiting...

    Bossy that sounds lovely. I am not stopping for long. Want to wash the car even though it looks like rain, walk the dog, sort some washing and have a tidy around.

    Need to send a couple of e-mails about DS too. Have been sent some info on an apprenticeship for him which is full time. It upset me, stupid I know but whats the point sending me that when the best we can hope for is him doing 2-3 days a week. Never mind the fact that you need to have good communication skills and we think he may be autistic. I would dearly love him to be able to do a full time apprenticeship.

    Right, onwards and upwards.
