    Lack of flying here - put WM on before leaving for work at 8. Got home at lunchtime to find it had paused and then it played up so had to restart it :( Got home again at 5 after doing extra hours at work - too late to hang it out. Fed 3 children, took 2 of them out to different locations for activities, came home, fed myself and re-fed 3rd child and prepped for lunches for tomorrow and done w-up. Just about to water seedlings, put g-pigs away for the night and then get uniforms ready for the smalls before heading back out with smallest to collect DS1 & DS2 - will get back just after 9.30 and then need to get smallest DS into bed (his usual bedtime is 7.45 - so it will be a late night for him) Also need to ensure DS2 gets to bed (DS1 is 17 and old enough to know better if he stays up too late!) and then will follow shortly after that myself, I think! Will sort WM into what can be TD'd in a mo, too.

    1 MRI for DH done, just got to wait for results now. New swimming cosi, cardi and shoes for littlie bought (she really needs to stop growing and stay as cute as she is now!).
    Spent the afternoon in the garden and finished digging over/weeding border, then dug in a sand/stone/manure mix to break up the ridiculously heavy clay, more manure over the top and planted in an entire borders worth of plants.
    Need to do indoorsy stuff tomorrow to make house cleaner, though the lure of good weather is drawing me outside.

    Hugs, sticks and spoons to those who need it xx

    Finally got to and from work, no thanks to roadworks which brought all roads around town to a standstill. :mad:

    Went off list for this evening, as the dining room was calling out for a tidy, dust and vac. WM run and washing hanging up in the hope that it will be dry to iron in the morning. Kitchen sink seems to be draining slowly, so I stuck some hot water and soda crystals down it. Will check again in the morning.

    It doesn't sound much to have filled an entire day :o

    Morning all,

    Just about to strip our bed and get it in the WM. It's a beautiful day here. Got an appointment in the city at 10.30 - I hate driving there and hate parking even more as it's so expensive but needs must.

    Bossy - hope you feel better soon. Big hugs on your special day, thinking of you.

    Greent- your day sounds exhausting, but may I say your MF signature is fab! We are aiming to pay ours off whilst the kids are small, I hope to emulate your success :T

    Right, off to strip the bedding, back later xx

    Morning all. Hope you feel better soon Bossy.

    I have walked the dogs, done the dailies and dusted the dusty bits in the LR and cleaned the windows in there too. There are five including the big patio doors, so not bad.

    Have a great day everyone.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Morning all.
    Following ATB's example, so beds stripped and our bedding has washed. The weather can't make its mind up, so I haven't hung it outside yet.

    Took DD to school and had a lovely bit of road rage from someone in a much bigger car than mine who obviously felt that my right of way should be his. Made for an unsettling morning, as these things really get to me. Anyway, went for a jog with a friend, have come back, showered and hair washed, ready to set to in the LR. Oh yes, did the few bits of ironing and dusted the LR before I went out.

    I might make a sneaky trip to the allotment later to see what isn't growing.

    Have a lovely day everyone.

    Nothing much to report, so I shall just *wave* to you all as I flap pathetically past. :D
    May attempt to take the kick-boards off in the kitchen and clean out the spider webs underneath. In fact, yep, that's precisely what I shall do next. ;)
    Laters, all.
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Sorry to hear you had some idiot rant at you this morning Fayolle, there are some really selfish and impatient people out there. Rude raspberries to that bloke :mad:

    I decluttered about four inches of hair this morning and got rid of some grey ones too, so Dizzy is a happy soul now.

    Small has his girlfriend to tea tonight, so I must at least whizz round hoovering and clearing the living areas in the caravan.

    Dogs and cats all given flea drops, much to their general disgust. Smells strong, even to me, so goodness knows what it does to their sensitive noses!

    Washing machine curently out of action due to plumbers doin' tgeir thang.....so....having a cuppa watching PJ Masks on the gogglebox but mustn't fall asleep in the sunshine...must not fall asleep...must not...must...zzzzzzzz
