Morning all

And thanks to all who have granted me access to the facebook thingy - I'll have to see if I can find some time to look there properly and update profiles and things.

Right, bath and work are the order of the day. Then, thank goodness, it's the weekend. I've been really tired this week - think it's the hour we lost last weekend.

:cool: Buster is alive and kicking :cool:

Well last day off without the kids so I suppose I'd better make the most of it.

Done so far:

Bed stripped and in the washer
Breakfast things cleared away
Bins out

I might have another bash at some bread today after yesterday's disaster!

Run out of milk again :mad: . Still can't find a milkman, so its out to the shops.
Will just have to be milk though cos I'm stony broke til Tuesday.

De kemperven - we have not done that one before and the kids want to have a go at snowboarding. We want to see how the little one takes to the idea of skiing as we are thinking of going next year.

Morning all, lovely and sunny here and quite warm (just been out to get the milk in and put bags for life back in the car).

As the forcast is bad for the weekend I intend to try to get all my outside jobs done today plus dalies and the upstairs landing - I need the window sill up there for seeds!

Very pleasd with how the house is looking and the flying has gone this week especially as the kids have been off. Who knows what it will be like on Monday after OH has been home for the weekend.

Morning everyone. Once again starting the day with lots of good intentions but not sure how long they will last. Want to get all my school work out of the way and a lot of clearing up done so that it makes working on the kitchen easier. My desk was clear yesterday morning and now its covered , so thats an area I need to tidy. Am also going to see if I can sort out all the kitchen items in the conservatory so that I can get to a few items I no longer need and then freecycle them. Plus the laundry basket is full yet again so must get some washing done. Looks like when I can get my bum out of this chair, I'll be busy , busy.........
