Morning xx
Not much sleep had at this house. DS claimed your seat in the WAC Fayolle 🙁 Flylady vibes for DS would be greatly appreciated.
I'm going to get dressed and pop to Mr C00p for some vegan friendly biscuits. My colleague is coming for a coffee this morning. Get me inviting people over!
I must fly today. I can't see my kitchen work tops (again). It will be better for me than sitting here fretting about DS. His anxiety is harder to cope with than my own- which is being triggered by his. Stop the world I want to get off.
Round 1 =
Get dressed
Fetch biscuits
Breathe

Round my boy gets very anxious too, massive good luck vibes for yours. Oooh and yes, get you, enjoy your friends visit.
DS needs a blood test every 8 weeks, he doesnt want to have it done. I understand him not wanting to think about it but I gently pointed out yesterday that if God forbid it all starts up again the sooner they know the better. I will try and get an appointment made if he is home this afternoon.
Just done stretch class, shower next, brekkie then paid stuff at home. Managed to hoover yesterday. Just washing doggie bedding and some of DSs horsey towels, hopefully I will get them dried outside.
Bring on Friday, a step closer to the weekend!!8 -
Morning all.
Well done, Fayolle - it's amazing what difference a good sleep can make xx
(((Hugs))) and coping vibes to you and your DS, round xx
Narc0, that all sounds extremely complicated. Glad to hear that you've got plenty of work - will MrN be on flying duty? xx
I am already on my 2nd cuppa this morning and have done 3QHI = the first press of the curtains. Past experience has shown me that a good steam iron is an essential part of my sewing kit! Back to the sewing machine after breakfast. Financial check also done, and I have an incoming payment of £9.94 that I don't recognise, so I must phone the bank about it and then ring my goddaughter (early riser!) for a chat. I have 3 photo cards to make and 2 others to write, and if I get them done before 11.00 DH can post them on his way to/from the surgery.
The house is as tidy as it can be, it just needs me to put the hoover round downstairs and do a bit of damp dusting. Oh yes, and DH will be having a shower this morning (with his leg in a plastic bag to keep the dressing dry) so afterwards I shall clean the ensuite. And I suppose I ought to do WMx2 while the weather is holding
(((Hugs))) spoons and sticks to those in need, and happy flying to all xx

Good morning all,
I had such a lovely evening yesterday. Normally I'm sat on my own when the children go to bed, well last night DD came down about 8pm saying she couldn't sleep and could she snuggle with me? So we watched a Harry Potter and had a small bowl of pringles each, with the candles lit and the dog cuddled close - perfect.
Onto today, beds are made and we are all dressed, fed and watered. The DW is on, I've tubbed up the chilli I made yesterday for the freezer, and the WM has finished and is over the airer. DS has footie training this evening, so I've got an M&S meal deal for an easy treat.I must must must work my way through a short to do list as well that I wrote last night, including ordering some thermals for us all.
Lots of vibes to your DS Round, and also to your DS YL xx
Narco - great news on the work, did you enjoy getting your brain back into it? I cannot wait to go back to school on Monday and use parts of the grey matter that have been dormant for months.
Happy Friday all xx PS Baz Lurhmann just been on the radio - always makes me so happy xx6 -
Thank you xx

That was a productive hour! Round 2 completed + filled bird bath, WUDUPA x 2 bowls of pots, rinsed and recycled eleventy one cans, ripped up and recycled two cardboard boxes, rinsed and recycled plastic bottles, wiped down work top, refilled jars with coffee and tea bags, put all carrier bags into one bag. I can now see my kitchen.
I don't know if J is due here at 10 or 10.30. Probably 10 - she never gets anywhere on time. Gives me time to recover from my flying efforts

Good morning!
Paid stuff today. The baby is playing on the floor, and the 2 yo is keeping him amused. It will be milk time soon. I may make myself a cuppa while I am sorting that.
Dog has been walked. I chatted to a few other dog walkers this morning, as I won't have conversation from these 2!Poo picked in the garden, and that is about it! I will empty the DW and S&S the kitchen when I am making snack for the 2 yo. I am ready for the weekend!
Round I hope you enjoy your visit, and coping vibes sent to you and DS
Have a good day everyone!5 -

Woke up with a headache, bed made, burgers out for tea and I feel like I've hit a brick wall energy wise.£71.93/ £180.006

Back bedroom finished, bed repositioned, valance sheet put on and mattress flipped. That last part was way harder than I made it sound. Ironing done until maiden filled. Now going to get dry matress protector and fit that, then make bed. This will free up more maiden space; being a glutton for punishment I have left ironing board up ready to carry on. Picnic chairs removed from house and put away in shed. Pots washed, followed by cat pots then recycling. One box full of recycling has already been taken to appropriate bin and I have just stopped for coffee.Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily Dickinson
