    Good Morning All,

    A sleepy ATB here. We had such a hectic day yesterday I didn't sit down at all until gone 7.30pm when all I wanted to do was sleep! I have read the thread but nothing is sticking so please forgive me.

    Been up since 5.30 and so far DW and WM are doing their thing. We are forecast rain later so I will peg out now and hope most of it dries. DH is now away until Sunday with work, he was away last weekend too, it feels like we have hardly seen him recently but he runs his own business so we must be grateful he is busy.

    Right, I need more tea, have lovely days all xx
    MFW :)

    Good mornin' ladies :wave:

    DH stomped off to work with a headache this morning, a result of too much sloe gin last night drowning his sorrows over the football. Oh dear - a bit embarrassing all round...

    I am remaining positive for today, following a (mainly, if you exclude the footie) good day yesterday. Happy that it is the living quarters today as the caravan floor seems to have a layer of fur on it. My hounds have very short hair, like a horse, so are difficult to groom effectively. I may just resort to hoovering them directly :rotfl:

    Hugs all round xxx

    Morning all
    Hugs good wishes posi vibes sticks and spoons where needed
    Hope the aga can survive but wish pigpens CF wouldn't.

    Busy all day yesterday with work, got a basketball kicked in my face which was not the highlight of my day thankfully Side-on so no broken nose and I wasn't wearing my glasses. It just hurt like hell and felt numb for the rest of the day.
    Dh and ds1 already off to work, ds2 plus two asleep on settees so I'm making a start in the kitchen and may tackle the ironing if I get everything else done.
    Would like to venture into the attic but not sure if I'll have time

    Have a good day all.

    Morning all.

    Ouch! mrs-mp :eek:
    Enjoy your meal tonight, FBO.

    If it's gone, it's done:
    - mend my blouse - the one I've just sewn new buttons onto, which I now see has a split seam
    - deadhead roses and do a general tidy-up in the front garden
    - plant tomatoes in big pots
    - SW weigh in
    - return unused fence post holder to GC
    - hair appointment at 14:00
    - read the satnav instructions
    - 16:00 out to induction evening at college

    Right, shower then out to SW. DH is making breakfast to take with us, for after the weigh-in :rotfl:

    Morning all

    Hugs, sticks, spoons, vibes as appropriate to all.

    Today I'd planned on getting stuck into my accounts but I've just got a text from DD saying they've got to shut school. Apparently the main water supply in the area has been damaged so they have to. School have just confirmed it via twitt3r. So I'm thinking the errands we were supposed to run Friday night after school can be done today instead. We'll have longer to look, it'll be quieter and it'll be over and done with. ;)

    So far today, dailies done, WM & TD have both been on but it's due to rain. Going to wait for DD to get home now before I make any more decisions. :wave:

    Most of you probably know but some classes will be cancelled on 5th July (next Tuesday) it depends on which teachers are in the nut. It won't affect whole schools so you may find some kiddies are in school while there brothers and sisters in different classes are told to stay away.

    Back to kitchen cleaning, it's looking batter already

  • Morning all,

    Unexpected day at home due to Dd2 having a fever. We are currently snuggling on the sofa watching Sooty. I will honestly use my time better later. I have already tackled a couple of paperwork frogs and paid a bill.

    Thanks for info re possible strike mrsmoneypenny.
    Another massive listy Iona, good luck!
    Hope your interview goes well FBO x
