    Another quick list update before i go and sort DD out for bed. Haven't got much done really, have taken DD for a walk to try and get her to sleep but she's too nosy and wants to look at everything. Have taken Ds to the supermarket to get a Halloween costume. We will be out most of tomorrow so i doubt i will get done then either.

    Thanks for the vibes for Mum, not being readmitted today, watching and waiting is the name of the game, she is feeling better.

    Toilets and sinks cleaned and washing up done. Need to ice the cake and have ironing to do but that maybe for tomorrow.

  • Frizzle it makes you feel so proud when someone comments on your childrens behaviour doesnt it.

    LW I wished you lived nearby and could dog sit for me!! Our little rescue terrier has a few issues and is nervous around strangers and loose dogs.

    Been quite a productive day, the kids were quite happy to have a day at home so I got quite a few jobs done. Not sure what's planned for tomorrow.

    I didn't get much more done as I started to watch the proceedings in the House of Lords, with the debate and votes on the Tax credits and was riveted to my chair for about three hours :rotfl: Soo pleased the votes went the way they did.
