Hi Ladies

Sneaking in from work. Before I left the house today I set the DW going with the bits from the hob, put a load of coats in to wash (will be dry in no time on the line this evening) and made the beds. Tonight when I get home I must:

- make packed lunches for tomorrow
- easy tea (cheesy pasta)
- re-make DS bed with fresh bedding
- feed and water all animals
- empty DW
- have a beer in the sun

@mumtoomany what a time of it you are having!! I hope you get it all done - really wish I was nearer to help xx

Continued good vibes to you all. Will pop back on later xx

Wee chonker!

Pleased that the new arrival is making progress.

Well I'm exhausted - who does an aquathlon on one of the hottest days of the year?   Anyway I finished it; even laster than the last place I'd promised, but a sense of achievement. As these 'challenges' seem to be every 5yrs, I will set the one for my 70th now and it will involve chocolate and a kindle. That's it.   However, the water was lovely.

Watered greenhouse.
Finished packing.
Went to the tip.
Went to carwash.
Rang Mum as it's her birthday.
Generally tidied and got ready for hols.
See you next week!

Morning All,

Narco - have a wonderful time xx
Good Morning to baby Harper xx

We have just had a short, sharp shower here which was lovely. I have fed the animals, done x1 WM and gathered together some of DD's bits for school this morning. She is eating brekkie now. Also shuffled some money which sounds far grander than it is! 

Eggs boxed up for a colleague as well - if I have time before I leave I will blanche and freezer yet more runner beans. I hope everyone has a lovely day xx

Morning all xx

Just nipping in to wave and send hugs to new born, new mum, new schoolers, return to schoolers, all mums, all poorlies, all flyladies. 💐 ❤

I returned to work to find it was just me! Again. Including the doorbell as receptionist is off on long term sick! I may have suggested that they could insert a mop and I'd clean the floors too!!! The reply? 'Has anyone got a mop?'  Yep. Seriously.  Not impressed? Me? 100% 

And it's twot 🥵🥵🥵

But I'm up  showered, dressed, made my bed, packed my lunch, had a brew, eaten breakfast, and I'll feed the birds before I set off.

One question: where does all the traffic come from in term time? And where do they go to in school holidays? 

Have a good day. Keep cool and hydrated. 
Much love 
Rxx

morning all

woke up earlier so stuck the cat’s blanket in the WM

ive got a few errands to do today plus i’ve decided to make Greek salad for lunch, i’ll make enough for tomorrow soon so i need tomatoes, cucumber and feta.  Need to collect rest of prescription.  And dump some no longer needed meds at chemist too. And we’ll have salad and wraps for tea while I’m at it.  

I flew in my sleep lol…i cleared some flytipping out of a stream but identified source of said rubbish so they were billed (goodness knows where THAT came from).

Morning all, glad to hear Harper is on the mend.

The bailer man, M, came at about 5:30pm. Everyone is doing hay at the moment so he's busy. He managed most of the field before a bolt sheared in the bailer! He thinks a stick had maybe got picked up with the hay. So he and OH had to fix it. Both of these man are 65, and M is waiting to have a hip replacement in two weeks time! By the time it was fixed, and he'd finished, it was late. Left the bails on the field till this morning, when it rained! You could not make it up. It's now stopped, so later, when they are dry, we'll get them into the barn. We made 47, so will probably need another twenty or so. 

Little else done yesterday. I have however a great cure for insomnia. First find a field that needs cutting for hay.....

DW on. About to go out to the tunnel. 

Who needs a tidy/clean house anyway! I remember hearing Bob Flowerdew on the radio once. He said that what he did was to spend all day outside. He had very low wattage bulbs in the house, so when he went back in at night, he couldn't see any mess. Seems like a plan, at least until the bad weather.

Hugs to all, mumtoomany.xxx

Round.. I am so bored.. do you want me to come help out? I'm not having the mop!! I can be instructed and I can, at a push, be forced to make a cuppa.. I'd rather not but I can.

I need to go see all the babies today.. EC wants me to go see Harper and my mother wants me to go see the puppies.. still 9.. doing well.. they all have their eyes open now.

I am really hungry today... I will go grab an apple I think.

I have spent years trying to get Dot to brush her teeth (she hates it with all the passion) and we have used social stories, discussed dental health and cavities.. I drop her off at school today to discover she has lied about having brushed her teeth and the TA collecting her said .. I kid you not.. 'Oh, we don't mind about that!' .. you can guarantee evey time I mention teeth brushing for the rest of time she will say 'but school don't mind about that!' .. I did say 'Yes we do, we have used social stories for a long time to get her to practice personal hygiene.. we mind dirty teeeth and smelly pits and greasy dirty hair.. we like to be clean becaus it makes out bodies healthy and strong and being dirty is itchy and other people prefer clean humans to be friends with and sit with' ... who would even think it was ok to tell and autistic child they don't need to brush their teeth.. day 2 and complaint 3.. I am tired already.. how long until summer hols?
