Morning HI,

What a day and half you had yesterday (((HUGS)))

Yuck to the horrible weather too.

Hope you have a lovely day today and get everything done and sorted xx

Just catching up, you've really been through the mill the last few days! Hope it all settles down a bit for you and you have a good break xx

Good work on spotting that offer on the PJs Hidden! And a good result on the car seat as well - I love MSE for stuff like that, you can guarantee there will be someone who can answer a question like that!

I'm going to urge against changing the GP appointment - this is for you, yes? You wouldn't be thinking about changing it if it was for one of the smalls, would you now - treat yourself with the same love, care and attention that you give them please Mrs!

Sending hugs Hidden, hope the rest of the week goes much more your way xx

Hi Hidden

Haven't been around in a while and still you are a busy busy woman.

So glad you got DD sorted. I thought it was a bit strange a 6 year old doing cursive writing (or as I call it 'joined up')

What a crazy day you had yesterday but I seriously hope you are relaxing more today. xx

Thanks all for stopping by

Yesterday was as planned.. just as hectic. One lost school jumper and lunch bag added in for good measure.

Anyway onto today.

Kept youngest at home bad mum! but I simply don't have time nor energy for a 3 hour walk. Older two in school and lunch bag and jumper located and brought home.

I have a to do list bigger than a mountain.

Main list looks like

To do today
Ironing
Put bedding back on
Hoover upstairs
Bring suitcase down
Pack suitcase*
Sort dinner
Do salads and lunch items for Thurs/Fri
Collect smalls
Wash & dry uniforms
Feed smalls
School books (smalls)
Bath smalls
Gets all 3 in bed for 7pm
Iron uniforms
Shower
Clean round again
Check the holiday list and that everything is in case and ready.

Suitcase packing isn't a big job really as everything is ironed and in its place so just a matter of picking it out and putting it in there.
Need to make sure we have enough meds and things and pack med boxes.

I was up all night again so the majority of my normal daily cleaning has been done. I refuse to sweep outside again. I'm on strike someone else can do it

I listed 17 items on ebay yesterday, don't think they will sell though will be surprised if they do.
