    Kaz - how awful for you, sleep well and hope no repeat. Well done to DS

    AnW - what a wonderful Mum you are, rather you than me towing

    Welcome to all newbies

    OH done loads of flying whilst I've been at work today, is it fair if I cross off the list as if I've done it?!?
    Don't put it down, put it away - thanks Valli

    I'm not preggers - OH has had the snip and I'm one ratty mare so hoping AF will arrive by morning.

    Night all - tomorrow my plan is to finish today's list, master bedroom and bathroom plus at least one hour in front garden.

    Sleep well (especially you Kaz x)

    Last to bed and first up!

    DS3 wet the bed at 6:00 - unhurd of - so sheets now in the WM.
    Just did an online survey about soup - not very appealing at 6:30 am but hey I get points and a sample to try.

    Cat has had a bird in this time.

    Right best undo the dishwasher, get first wash on the line and make packups, the sun is shining here.

    Have had a really pants day at work and have spent the afternoon (and part of the evening) in tears after having a vicious verbal attack on me, because the said 'lady' had got in trouble from her boss and thought I'd ratted on her. I was so shocked as I hadnt said a word and my work mates were stunned. I did get an apology but it brought back all sorts of horrible memories of when I was bullied in my last job.

    (((Kaz))) - what a horrible cow. Hope you're feeling better today xx

    Morning all

    Just logged in to see what I put on my list last night (I can remember but this puts it off for 10 mins or so:o ).

    Kaz - Can imagine how upset you must have felt, especially as you had done nothing wrong. Your collegue had best watch out or SSL will be sending slaps her way (or have you lost your violent streak this week:D ).

    DD2 didnt want to go into nursery today, full on tears which is most unlike her. She did try the I am poorly trick (guess it worked yesterday) but she has been fine - not sure what is going on there and its difficult to get any sense from a 3 year old at times:confused: .

    DD1 sports day this pm so will be collecting DD2 dashing home having lunch and dashing to school to cheer like a loon:D .

    Right, windows have all been flung open, off to put some boppy music on and crack on with it.
