    My list for tomorrow and for the weekend:

    - little bit of general swishing and swiping

    I think i've done enough this week, the place is tidy but i'm a grumpy cow and my throat is sore. Not only does piggers share her lists she shares her bugs too.

    Can't be bothered to make myself any tea...has anyone got anything going spare?

  • Hi everyone
    Don't like Thursdays! We have a management meeting after school that ALWAYS overruns, then DD1 has to bolt down supper and get homework done before rushing off to her choir/drama thingie.
    Didn't manage to get any ironing done last night - got a better offer from DH! Guess that tonight I could iron to Ashes to Ashes to keep me amused.
    OK - all fed, all homework done and washing machine clunking happily in the background.
    Tonight the plan is to do level 2 - but may have to rethink the strategy!
    Another busy weekend with DD2 going to a party then the whole Ginger posse off to a friends' party. Saturday looks like cake baking to take to party and buying a present.
    Hugs to all in need and lots of laughs for Pigpen's poem!:rotfl: :rotfl:
