    I've just had to log back in again, it must log you out automatically *tuts* that's a nuisance.

    pigpen/lilme I worried too when mine all started new schools it's only natural, they'll be fine :)

    I've started my list - kitchens almost done and the washing's been brought in finally - yay

    Now I've got a rather bad-tempered teenage son huffing about the place looking for his key (how the hecky peck am I supposed to know where HE left it) asking for money and going on about buying new school pants, he only had some new ones 2 weeks before he broke up last year and there's not a flipping thing wrong with them grrrrrrrr no chance mate!

    *big deep breaths embb* Caaaaaaaaaaaaaalm.........

    This work surface that I've been putting off for months... it is cleared!!! It took an entire 15 minutes.. isn't it always the way.

    I have a carrier for nursery, a bag for charity shop, a bag to recycle, a bag for hubby to put away and a bag off odd socks to pair up.. and a lot just binned!!

    more tea more tea!!

    Yes but in October OH is off at the same time and I'll be able to pack her off to his parents for some peace :rotfl: Although there are only 15 weeks this Wednesday before she breaks up for Christmas :eek: I marked it on the calender so I know how long I have to get all the shopping & decorating done ;)

    Not much else done since I last logged in. An hours worth of ironing, aka 10 items which included DD's 4 new tailored school blouses being labelled as well ;) Lunch done, and the sun is out so 1 load of washing on the line, another just finished in the machine, so off to sort them out and I might be able to get DD's bedding in and out on the line and back on the bed as long as it stays dry! Best get a wriggle on as I still need to put tea on and it was supposed to be sausage casserole in the slow cooker :eek: :wave:
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!
