    Yeah, same here, lets hope for lots of lovely outings once you are 100% better.

    My boss has (grudgingly) allowed me the rest of the week off. DH is going to take the day off tomorrow so we can have a family day out. This may be interesting because a) we have no money b) DS1 is physically not 100% well and emotionally all over the place and c) DS2 would rather be on his xbox or with his mates. Oh and its going to rain. Seriously though, I am looking forward to a day out together.

    House is reasonably tidy. Have had a go in DSs bedroom with the new carpet cleaner. It was getting dark so I cant really see the results. Fire is lit so I will put some washing over the airer before bed.

    Oh and I am going to have a quick clear out of the bathroom cabinet, its bin night tonight and there are all sorts of odd bottles of stuff in there that no-one uses.

    Work outside the house done. DD is not going to be impressed that out of 11 deliveries I had tonight, 5 need to be delivered Friday instead. I'm going to have to work tomorrow as I still have books I need to sort but I'm not doing it at this time of night, especially as I didn't make my bed before I went out :o I'm going to tidy up what I can while I have a decaf coffee and catch up with some TV then I'll take all the clean washing up when I go to bed.

    Tomorrow morning I'm prioritising flying! I basically need to clean downstairs and make sure the bathroom is done as well before DD gets home tomorrow night. Not sure whether its Ex bringing her home, ex-fil or ex-mil or another relative all I know is its tomorrow night at some point :rotfl: I assume I'll get a text tomorrow to tell me the plan, but then again this is DD so probably ex will text or call me at some point instead with it. :rotfl: Tomorrow afternoon I need to sort books out to go out to new customers (which involves going through my records to see which houses have said no for 4 years running as I'm not bothering with them unless they've moved) which just need the letters and addresses on and the rest of the week is being played by ear as I'm really tired and I don't know how long DDs homework will take.

    I best get on with the tidying up etc or I'll still be sat here at midnight like I nearly was last night! :wave:

    Morning all
    CY sorry you missed going out because you weren't feeling well, I hope that once you start feeling 100% again you will be treated to a lovely outing or two.
    Frizzle hope babe got into a more comfortable position for you so you got some sleep
    ewww to the slug hovering Dancemum. Sounds like the sort of thing my Dh would do.
    Well done to your dd bossy
    Dusty hope your mum is as well as can be, is she at home still?
    Nicki hope you manage to get all your books and orders sorted and delivered, imagine this next month is about your busiest time.
    Hope you managed to source more paint as well.

    Bit early to start doing much at the mo and Dh will be brining me a cuppa anytime now so I'm just planning what to do today as I can't sleep.

    Hugs good wishes and posi vibes to all who need them and I wish you a good Wednesday just looking and it's about 7 school weeks till we break up for Christmas, finished the cross stitch on the stocking last night so have loads of back stitch to do on it now. Better get cracking on with that during the day.

    Morning All

    Hugs CY.

    Natty has obviously been looking at my kitchen so knows I needed 2 days on it!

    Well so far this week has been a really busy one and DS has his injection this morning (his last one hurray!) then we are going out for the day although I don't know where yet.

    Good news though - I have logged on to my gas & elec account this morning and I have a £500 refund coming my way and my monthly payments are reducing to £44 from £98.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs
