    Excellent. Make sure you rest when you get home; writing lists is allowed but not doing what's on them.

    Had a marathon pruning and shredding time; 5 bags to take to tip.
    Remember...a layer of dust protects the wood beneath it.

    Haha sparkle may have been an autocorrect:)

    He did arrive and finished at 5:30 so plastering is happening at 7:30 tomorrow :eek: but all is good, they are very tidy and although there is dust everywhere they really haven't made a mess.

    We went out for birthday tea and then had cake at home (had to put the candle back in and sing "happy toothday" to DD aww bless her, she is all gummy again). So it's been a funny old day really, but pleasant enough.

    DS is much better - not sure what went on there, he's got a bashed knee from before and fell on it this morning, then went all faint at school - they were quite worried and I thought maybe he banged his head too, but he said not. He didn't go to football obviously but he's going to school tomorrow.

    Thanks for the offer ATB much appreciated. I've set up a kitchenette in my garage/office so we are managing ok. I am up to date on laundry too - but my neighbours have said to pop round with anything I need :T

    Glad the op went well ionafan xxx

    Is it bed time yet? Lol
    Bossymoo

    Away with the fairies :beer:

    Bossy hope he is OK. DS and I were playing a silly truth game last night and I discovered that when he was in primary school he pretended to faint to get out of doing a test! Only took me about 5 years to find that out.

    Iona hope its not too sore, take it very easy. You are officially on flylady rest along with CY.

    Would love to know if LW is OK too.

    Mad day for me today, as ever. An early night is needed I think.

    Savvy Shopper! I've been Money Tipped!
    Pigpen your girls are gorgeous. Just to offer a another view point. I really hate 99% of photos of myself and used to avoid being photographed until I read an article which in a nutshell was from a grieving daughter who had no pictures of her mother. Because her mum had hated being photographed. She said it was very hard to deal with. Having no visual reminders.
    So now I grin and bear it. Especially as my son is mad about selfies.
