    Thank you Pippi x

    I will be back with lists and things later. I have to cook a roast and make a cake :rotfl: Bigger two put their orders in this morning :rotfl:

    Youngest watching Cat in the hat... We love this film and she's already giggling away - a sound we haven't had from her in a week!

    Small ones roast is on the go.. Might even join them today and I think their Dad will too. He is coming to sit with youngest why I have some time out.

    Have taken the last of the decorations down and cleaned the windows.

    Youngest still in fits of giggles at her movie.

    I need to order my new calendar because I forgot :o Have my diary to put in all the appointments and things too.

    I need to pop into town one day this week and put the cheque in. I also need to pick up birthday cards for my sister and some potatoes.

    I've cancelled the calendar, I've found one I was given so will try to make that work first and if not I'll go back to buying a replacement of this years that worked perfect.

    So the job for tonight is to fill all the things in on both the calendar and diary along with starting a fresh set of wallets and notebooks for youngest's meds and things. Will do all this once cleaning and rest of to do list is done.

    Smalls enjoyed roast with their Dad. There's some to one side for me later.

    Smalls are showering and getting ready to get into bed. Youngest already sleeping.

    I have some ironing to do once I've settled bigger two. Need to clean the floors downstairs too.

    I don't think my plans tomorrow will come off as the person needed to help is backing out I think. Oh well we will find something to bake or something instead.

    Thank you for all popping in :D x

    Okay all the smalls are in bed and I'm happy upstairs is clean and done.

    I need to do the bit of ironing and the floors - But I'm having a cuppa first :o :rotfl:

    Money is tight this month, it's all about being really careful so I won't be ticking much of the 'things to buy' in my list. I have to sort things for returning to work and finding a plan that works for youngest (She definitely won't be back at school for a few weeks). Stressful :cool:
