Morning,

Thanks for the lists ladies, I'm in. And hugs all round xxx

Excited for you dizzy mines been in about a year now and I still love it

I'm going to strip the kids beds after my coffee, and get them all remade later.

Need to do some flinging too. Day at home I think. Might need a few bits for the fridge but I could go this evening and see if anything is reduced...

Morning all. Woke up feeling beyond exhausted and knew if I sat down that would be it. So, I've dusted, polished and vacuumed through the whole house. Washed the kitchen floor. Two loads of washing done (second load just finishing spin then I'll hang it out). The weather forecast had better be right!

Only thing not done properly is bathroom but that has been S&Sd.

Hugs and support to anyone else who needs/wants them
Just had a massage from ds2 he is finally on a bus admittedly it is a bus that got stuck trying to pull out of the muddy field that was YNot but he is now on his way home. 'All the best stories to tell' and all that I'm dreading to think what the state of his camping stuff will be like when he gets in but he insists he's had fun and made friends -he actually opted to stay last night as there was a girl on her own and he'd paled up with her so as she will be travelling his way today he decided to stay the extra night and keep her company rather than trying to come back yesterday and leave her friendless (there had been reports of girls waking to find men in their tents going through their stuff and nicking phones and purses etc)

I'm still catching up on putting stuff back and finding homes for it after last weeks refit and move round but I'll try and keep up with the lists thank you for posting them natty and Valli

Better go and make a start on some washing to free the machine and line off for when the wanderer returns. Plus need to chase up when the rubbish will be collected from the front as that is supposed to be collected by someone the gas man is sending.

Firstly, let me add to the supportive network for our dear Natty and her poorly Dave.

Froddy many thanks for the info on Hartleys Glitter jellies; I need stuff I can make up at home, as I like to bung in fresh fruit that needs using up, and I'd not heard of these. Now that I know what the packets look like, I can search in the SMs when I visit.

Bungalow is pretty much up to scratch, so it's just a question of keeping it that way - done my bit of washing this morning - one dress needs to be kept well away from the other stuff, but Mr LW has been warned.

Plan is to *gulp* declutter my tax return today. We have no dog here, and nothing specific planned other than a NSD :money: so it seems a good time to crack on and get it out of the way.

Hoping the weather holds, and that Mr LW will consider chopping the grass - next guest Fudge, is only ickle, and he may get lost in the [STRIKE]jungle[/STRIKE] back garden.

Jojo.. use your broomstick!
Natty.. hugs for you and Dave xxx

Migraine central here again. I can't find my migraine drugs and it is too painful to search properly for them, Squeak has been nagging for everything from the sun to the moon. Dot lost for first tooth yesterday so is now trying to pull out her second wobbly tooth. Pixie is trying to make her teeth wobbly.. Dot did hers jumping INTO a tree! Twinkle is smelly!!

Almost got the school uniform shopping done now.. we need knickers for the 2 in the middle and shoes for everyone and trainers for 2.. I need to have a check on winter coats and maybe knit some new hats.. they have all grown like weeds this year.. Squeak (who is 7 on Friday) has just gone into age 8-9 clothes and Dot and Pixie (5 and 3 for the next few weeks) are in 7-8 .. Twinkle at 14 months is almost into 9-12 though.. she is going to have a growth spurt sooner or later so I am trying to stock up on the next sizes.. I need a shopping list!

Squeak is having her party on Sunday so I need to clear some house this week so I really SHOULD be partaking in some list.. but I'm tired and my head hurts and the baby is a limpet!

Big (((hugs))) to Natty and Dave.
Enjoy watching your kitchen transformation, Dizzy!
Hope YL's DS gets on well in his new job.
Yuck to your DS’s muddy camping gear, mrs-mp.
Great to see so many Flyfolk making plans / changing career / putting themselves first for a change :T:T:T

I am pleased to say that I have dealt with another enormous cane toad this weekend, hence my lack of posts. This morning I have been filing papers, making phonecalls, sending emails, all to try and get the paperwork that has been cluttering up the spare bed finally sorted and put away. I also took the dog out for an hour – she was about to chew up a bank paying-in book in order to get my attention! And I have done WMx1, so hope the showers will keep off long enough for it to dry.

Onwards and upwards – let’s see if I can do another half hour’s tidying before lunch. Oh, and I mustn’t forget to water the hens today and hopefully collect some more eggs

(((Hugs))) spoons and sticks all round, as needed x

Tax return done and submitted; money to pay tax bill earmarked. :T
My brain is now well and truly fried - I need to do something this afternoon that does not require much intelligence to do correctly.

bossymoo

Two immaculate kids rooms later... And they can't get messed up till next Sunday

Feel a bit hot now! I haven't done their wardrobes yet, another day, but have removed some teddies. If they need to keep them, we'll work out some better storage.

Everywhere else is looking pretty good. Except my desk haha. Recurring theme... Probably ought to put some thought into that lol



ETA - oh heck, mum just called, she's going to collect a premmie from hospital and wants to know where she can get size 0 nappies - aww. Someone's gonna have a busy night lol

Decamped to the spare room in the end. He's apologised, but when he's that overtired, it's not as if he can do much about it; I'm just glad that he hadn't put too much gibble on the bed in there, so all I had to do was scoop off the few things, remove the cat three times, get in, have the cat land square on my chest and then stomp his way down to the end of the bed, where he curled up and promptly went to sleep until 10.30am. As I did.


Himself is apparently taking on the kitchen today. Not certain what he's expecting to do with it, as I've not trashed it, mainly from not eating enough, I suspect.

I think I shall do something 'useful' like tidy and polish the dressing table.
