    Joy.. the girls were 'cleaning' in the kitchen.. Dot has trashed her cast.. the one which was put on yesterday.. the sides, table, floor and highchair are flooded.. it is a total death trap in there when it is wet and they are hopping about like frogs... I swear they are trying to kill me! So.. back to fracture clinic in the morning :/ I think she is going for the record number of casts one a single injury... this will be the 5th in 11 days.

    Anyway.. 12 tea towels and 4 cloths in the wash, 1 mop and 3 sponges binned.. my kitchen is still unclean.

    I haven't done today's list but I have cleaned the car and cut the lawn again - second time in a week so all last week's dead cut grass has lifted and it looks MUCH better and I have done some slash and burn type weeding in the front. Can't get a fork in so have just pulled stuff off. So that looks better, too. And had another shower so my hair has been washed 3 times today!

    It'll be bathroom tomorrow,

    The day started at 5.30am with woofer having a seizure, luckily it was a mild one and I was able to go back to bed for a bit.

    Once we were up properly DD and I headed to a NT site up on the moors and went on a 'magnifying glass trail', she loved it. We saw some special places for creepy crawlies, moorland flowers and a nest of Northern Hairy Wood Ants. To top it off little pea walked 2.6 miles all by herself :dance::dance: Safe to say she zonked in the car.

    Flying wise I've:
    emptied all bins in the house
    done some ironing
    cleaned all light switches
    mended a couple of toys
    made phonecalls to the vets for medicine and booked an appointment at the doctors for DH
    watered all seedlings

    Just sitting down now with a wee drink and some family tree research.

    Sorry I've been awol today. Feeling a bit teary - DH was due home on Sunday, but now isn't back until Wednesday. It's great his business is so busy but sometimes it's tough when he's away so much.

    Early night now I think, hugs all round x

    Have a great day everyone.
