Congratulations, Frizzle, and welcome to Dizzy. I've only just found my way back here and won't even attempt to write down everything that needs doing. It would put me off for good. I know it works if I do a bit every day and that will have to be good enough for the time being.
Ionafan - If you're still happy with your phone you could look at giffgaff. Free SIM card and a variety of monthly deals (called 'goodie bags'), but no minimum contract and you can change your subscription from one month to another. The cheapest package is £5. I've been with them for a year now and am quite happy.
I've not felt great since yesterday morning. Some virus that's been brewing for a few days, I think, so I'm taking it easy. I'll see what I can still get done today.

Welcome dizzy and huge congratulations frizzle xx
Tried to post twice earlier but it all vanished into the web - then I gave up. Lots of pottering here - kiddies still in pjs as they are having a very much needed chillax day
So far I've:
Wiped and swept LR
Emptied a DR cupboard as needed space for alcohol
Made a pile of books that can be donated
Flung some fabric stash
Hung out some washing and put another load on
Made dinner for kiddies (they seem in better spirits now!)
Tidied kitchen and wiped round after cooking
First part of my summer challenge is sorted - any un-needed uniform is flung and I have edited toilettries and mine and DDs clothes. DS things will be next although perhaps not todayBossymoo

Congratulations Frizzle I can't remember what age your 'little ones' are already?
Apart from harvesting, I've done a bit of other garden stuff, been to church (on refreshment duty so must remember to put mugs through dw) and sat by the pond with Mr N and choc ices............
We had friends to dinner last night, knew his mum was ill but had call this morning to say she died early. Also 2 church people in hospital, one from our village and one from the next (3 small villages share a vicar and some services). So a bit low, after our friend's funeral last week.
Anyway tore myself away from garden as I have a lot of work work to do, and MIL coming for dinner at 6pm.Remember...a layer of dust protects the wood beneath it.0 -

Hope you have a new doggy visitor soon LW x
It is my DH's 49th birthday today (he is a toy boy)
After waiting for Ds1 to finish work we trecked into the city centre to the cinema but unfortunately the film we wanted to see was full so we just spent lots of birthday vouchers and money. Ds2 also did rather well on the Lego front. It was lovely to all go out together.
Ironing has been all done
4 loads of wm done
Ground floor henried

Hoppy Birdday to Dancedad, btw. :bdaycake:
I've picked up two cylinders-full with the Dys0n - including a scarily large amount of my own hair, which is falling out in handfuls.:( I've also tidied up the patio planters and removed the annuals that are finished now, which were just looking a mess.
Mr LW has cut the back lawn, so the Princesses have a lovely short lawn to play on.:DIf your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)0 -
Thanks for all the congrats! Ds1 is almost 7 abs ds2 is 3 and a half!
Dawn rose.- hope dd is ok?
Well not much done off the list. I have run errands and caught up with some people but apart from washing up and wiping the sides down, nothing else has been done today! Fresh start tomorrow!
Well after two late nights, I was good for nothin today and this afternoon had to really fight the urge to fall asleep at the birthday party. Luckily I had sunglasses on, which hid the fact that I kept closing my eyes! Anyway, got back , put kiddies to bed and now I'm off to bed too. Hopefully that will make me feel better tomorrow! Fingers crossed!
See you on the new thread!Grocery challenge-
