    Morning all! I'm in - thanks Valli :A

    Back to work today but we have 2 INSET days so, hopefully, not too stressful!

    Will sort a list later but just wanted to say 'Good Luck' to all those (children and adults) going back to school today or sometime this week.

    You are all fab!

    So sweet this morning - S is really excited to be going to school and came downstairs fully dressed in his uniform, complete with shoes at 6.45!! He's now sat with his backpack on his back even though he hasn't had breakfast yet. Z is ready to go and looking lovely as she hasn't put lots of make up on which I'm pleased about.

    Going to have breakfast, get dressed and do my 30 minutes cleaning before taking S to school.

    ATB have a lovely time with DD. I didn't cry when my 2 started school but I know lots do!!

    MrsTinks I'm just Level 1 too; got to ease ourselves in gently haven't we!

    Me again. How exciting that the children are starting/going back to school. Just remember not to cry in front of them!

    So far today I have dusted the dusty bits in the LR, walked LittleyDog, put out the rubbish and recycling and cut the back grass. Will just fit in some ironing before the paid stuff.
    Spend less now, work less later.

  • Morning all
    Thank you for the lists natty and Valli
    Welcome Laura and any other new flyers I've missed
    Hugs good wishes, sticks and spoons where required
    Im off list this week as I'm pinting the bedroom ready for the carpets to be fitted, spent the weekend sanding filling and moving furniture.

    Currently glossing, doors and skirting, I'm sure I should have done the emulsion first but hey ho.
    We've chosen 'soul kiss' by valsopar which is a shade of blue.
    Btw if anyone drinks bombadier (sp) beer and need to do any decorating the 4packs in tesc0 have a £10 off £50 spend at b&q voucher attached. Got sone of the supplies needed n went t's for more beer as we have another £50 to spend - at least I have something to look forward to after I've finished.
    Glad miss moo had a lovely birthday bossy.

    Back to glossing, want to get the bathroom and bedroom doors finished before I go to work.
