    Morning all. Half term here so will do what I can but not sticking to the list. DS3 to a party in 30 minutes - ah here he is in tears - upset by a big one.

    Then cat to vet - not limping as much but think I best get her checked.

    Morning! Think this must be a first for me, I'm here dressed and ready to leave house (ie slap on and hair ironed), DS is dressed and fed and back in bed snoozing - had a bad night with him - and I've done some of the list and eaten breakfast! So, so far so good.

    Morning everyone

    Seems like I am the lazy late starter today. Not been up long and got loads to do. Just had brekkie while catching up here. Need to get dressed, get a shopping list together and go NOW! No milk, bread, fruit, yoghurts.... well basically no anything! lol Think we might go to the big Mr T's and have a mooch round there.

    Nannies for dinner tonight so that is one less job. Better get the ebay parcels together and skiaddle.

    Have a good one everyone.

    Morning all

    One load of washing on the line, cloudy and cold out there so I'm not sure how well it's going to dry. At least it's out of the way for a few hours.

    Kitchen done to level 3 except for oven. And I'm not going to clean it :D

    Living room damp-wiped and vacuumed. Also computer desk in hallway and hallway.

    I've sorted out the last kitchen cupboard that still needed doing. Done some shredding.

    That's it for now.

    Third load of washing on, beds stripped.
    Soup all done, bubbling away merrily:D Looooove Lentil soup:j
    Just need to be adventurous enough to make my own bread now, is it worth buying a breadmaker or is doing it by hand fine??
