I was all geared up to tell her and she wasn't there grrrrrrrr.

    morning all xx

    Just left Tiddles bawling at nursery.. the staff have STRICT instructions to call me if she is still crying after half an hour.. in fact I'm going to ring them.. I'm certain she'll be fine.. but I do like to check.. saves me fretting about her being upset all morning... see.. I am a little bit nice lol.

    phoned school and she is fine.. playing with DD4.. now I can get on.

    The laundry I hung out at 11:30 last night I just brought in from the rain and it is almost dry.. 10 minutes in the dryer it'll be fine.

    My DW blocked last night as well.. so I left the dirty pots in and put it on a super hot wash which appears to have solvd the problem so that'll be ok in a bit when it finishes and I will run a finish cleaner thing through it.

    Phone lakeland and I'm off to get the 'dailies' done.. then I can do the photographing when Tiddles is in bed.. and the kicthen will get done gradually.

    Cuppa??

    :coffee::coffee::coffee:

    and one for Kimberley :coffee:.. seeing as she moaned so much yesterday.. it is in a thermos flask so will be warm whenever she turns up.

  • Son's personal tutor sent him to student services because he complained he was having trouble breathing. He's asthmatic so I got a call and said he could come home, he's gone straight to bed bless him. I'm relieved in a way and not just cos I had to take his homework!
    Will be making him a honey and lemon when he wakes up.
    Better get dressed and do some housework!

    Thanks for the cuppa I think I need one, pigpen!
