Morning everyone.
Quite sunny here at the moment. Im waiting in for a parcel this morning. Think it may come by van rather than postie.I would rather wait for it than have to walk all the way to the sorting office again. It should come as I got a email Sat saying it had been sent off. So depending what time it comes or even whether it comes determines what Im doing later. If it arrives I will be going to see mum then my doing my meeting and greeting.
So I will fly while Im waiting.0 -
Morning Densie and Boody.
AnW'smum- (((hugs)) to you. You seem to be handling it so well and helping A and W. It must be such a hard thing.
Have to say Denise the way I am so tired that i wish it was the evening here. really could handle have a whole nights sleep. Although then none of the kitchen would be done.
Ds is a bottomless pit. He has had an apple, some cereal and now is wanting a yoghurt!!
Have finally organised myself and have remembered to use the thank button. Makes it a lot easier to see where I read up to.

Morning all
I am sooooo glad Ex came around yesterday and sorted out my wireless network - I couldn't sleep last night and after laying in bed tossing and turning for 2 hours I got up and got my laptop and spent the next 2 hours playing games on facebook while laying on my bed :rotfl: However it means I've only had 4 hours sleep so I suspect I'll crash later on althought ATM I feel like I could run a marathon!!
:rotfl:
I have a mountain of washing to do (there wasn't much until I stripped the beds :rolleyes:) so I'm cracking on with that, then I really need to get some studying done before I do anything else. 30 minute bursts I think today on the studying front - and I should really sharpen some pencils so I can annotate the book

Dusty Kitten :hello: - we have one ripe strawberry atm, plenty to come though
Serena - envious of both the trug and the produce
I guess being the midlands we are a couple of weeks behind you. Could be a lot worse though as Lancashire had a frost at the weekend according to my MIL!
We had over night visitors so the house is still very much tidy, so a bit of maintenance cleaning, plus lots of WM and I am done. Weeding it is. When we bought this [STRIKE]wreck[/STRIKE] house a third of an acre seemed very attractive but I had no idea at all of just how much work it would take. I haven't got all the way round yet and the weeds at the start have started coming up again. Not a lot of couch happily (last garden was full of it so believe me I sympathise Hawthorn), mostly annuals and creeping violet.
Thanks everyone for the comments on small children - it did make me feel better about DS1, and he has actually been a little more balanced this weekend. Saying that DS2 has just started to cry........:rolleyes:
Pigpen - hope you are feeling better.
and hugs for anyone else who needs it.'If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need' Marcus Tullius Cicero0 -
I'm in again this week, should be an easy week because i got a good bit done last week.
Went to Newcastle yesterday and it was brill only spent 2 pounds:money: :j , we drive up between the mountains and it was lovely bit cold but done everyone the world of good didn't get home until after 10pm last night so kids where shattered.
Dusty i think how is your DS today??? My youngest had his swell once and he was in so much pain that i took him straight to A&E where they gave him a take it to be a stronger nappy rash cream and the swelling was gone the next morning.
Serena them veg look yummy, my dad gave me beetroot yesterday so i'll be doing that today:drool: .
Hope everyone who's sick recovers quickly, big hugs.
Right better shift.Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.And things go wrong no matter what I do.Now and then it seems that life is just too much.But you've got the love I need to see me through.:j :j0
