    Morning :D

    Thank you for all your lovely replies and messages.

    Smalls are away to school with no tears!! :j

    Just waiting for the washer to finish washing the mop and then I can do the floors and once the first load of washing is dry I will have a little bit of ironing (there's only last nights pj's and towels drying)

    Today's plans are to finish putting everything in my diary and on the calendar so I can't forget anything :cool:

    Not a NSD, paid snack money and been for coffee :o I needed it :rotfl:

    Hope you all have a lovely day
