Morning all

Not going to get too much done today as I have 2 maybe 3 extra kids. I shan't even attempt the kids' rooms as they'll probably just get trashed.
I'm just about to strip our bed as I didn't do it yeaterday and wash some dishes and then we'll see.

Hope everyone's ok.

Catch you later

Morning all.

I have Wed and Thurs list to do today as not a lot done on either day, but then again only a couple of days and it's back into the school and work routine when DS returns on Monday. Have enjoyed spending time with him, well most of the time(!), and will knuckle down next week when 'normality' returns.

Lil_me- Sonic is just the cutest thing ever!

Have a good day all.

Grrrrrrrrr Jill you are supposed to be easing back, do we all have to come round and tie you to the sofa????

Sooo you are under instructions not to add anything else to your list! Looking at what you have left on there I reckon making trial breast pads should be next and then perhaps doing those baby books as you know when lil one arrives there will be no time.

If you go overdue then I reckon you will have to do the gardening jobs to see if that hurries things alone

Dusty can I have a coffee please?

AnW'sMum

My must do job today is taxing the car, right off to jump in the shower and then that coffee with Dusty

morning all

JillD - yes its the new harry potter, i'm not very far yet as i started it later than planned! won't be long now i'm into it though!

just popping on quickly as colleague coming for a meeting at 10am and need to shower and wash hair first. meant to be giving blood this aft and then driving 2.5-3 hours to OHs, he was not sure that was a good idea, anyone have any thoughts? i'd think there'd be an hour's gap in between!

right, shower, breakfast, meeting, collect car, rest of bedroom list, pack stuff for weekend, look again at cottages

Morning folks,

I'm on my 3rd cup of tea and 2nd hot water bottle of the day! Our computer is under the stairs in the hall - which is the coldest part of the house, so I sit here with a quilt over my knees and a hot water bottle!!!

I've got to finish the hoovering from yesterday, and then do the spare room. Plus it's time for those end of the month finance updates. What an exciting day I've got in prospect!!

I hope everyone is doing ok and those with children are enjoying the last of the school holidays (or counting down the hours til they're over!)

I'll catch up with everyone later,
