    Most of today's official list is done, as we had a blitz on the place after the Noyz Boyz were collected Saturday morning; so I'll chomp a few Frogs, do a couple of bits that Mr LW didn't do to my satisfaction but I didn't want to criticise as he did such a lot, bless him, then I need to start on making the few Yule cards we'll need this year.

    We checked the "sending" list yesterday, and it's down to 24 this year (it diminishes every year); we have 14 left over from last year, as Mr LW bought too many in the RSPCA shop, so if I can make 10 myself, we're covered.:o

    Ionafan, great suggestion. I am going to split my to do list into two parts - "long term/not urgent" and "must do this week".

    Mummyroy Hugs. Its so strange when they are not there!

    Pigpen it amazes me how many parents take their kids into hospital then make no attempt to control them. I know its difficult if you are waiting and they are bored but some of the behaviour I see is terrible.

    So, home from work. Going into town to do some errands, will persuade DS to go with me even though he isnt feeling great. Dog walking and a bit of flying should see me through to my gym class at 6.30pm.

    Happy Monday afternoon everyone.

    Thank you Bossy for the list last week and Natty for the new.

    I'm in again, will still be a bit random though.

    Have tidied, hoovered and dusted all through, not too bad today as still pretty OK from last week.

    Been to the shop for eggs as need to do some baking this afternoon for the boys as they have a friend after school who is staying to tea.

    Trying to sort some listings for the g'tree & debating whether to do some ebbyng.

    Boys rooms are both done, new beds sorted and they are sleeping much better now. Do still need to sort out their toys and see what they would like to go.

    Ran out of steam at the end of last week so autumn cleaning of our room and living room still needs to be finished.

    Am still up to date with washing and ironing though :)

    Bathroom needs a quick clean so will get on with that next, then school time.

    Hugs, sticks, spoons and helping vibes to all who need.

    Waving from the sofa. Feeling better than yesterday, which was rough, especially the evening.

    Pigpen - when DS was little he had a bike helmet before he had a bike. Just to protect his head as he was inclined to fall over and bash his noggin. He hasn't turned out too badly...

    Back home, so cuppa while I catch up then I'll make a start.

    Glad you are feeling a bit brighter today CY

    My part of the country has always been out of sync with the rest when it comes to school hols. We are visiting my mum over our half term but won't see my nephews and nieces as they are still at school till the following week. Dd2 will be over with the step children but their dad works in a different 'time zone' so he doesn't get his hols till the week after his own go back to school.

    Right got to nip shops as bread and milk has disappeared (or been eaten by hollow legged teens!)

    Hi all

    Lots going on in flyland! Can't keep up with you all.

    I'm just back from paid stuff - voice nearly gone now - on a day I really didn't need to talk, I've spent most of the day on the phone :(

    Just going to sort dinner first and deal with kiddie bedtime. Hoping I'll get in the bathroom later but there is no way I'll get through the whole list, so I won't even pretend to! I shall focus on the hygiene aspects first!!!

    Glad you're doing ok CY always nice to see you posting xx
