    Wow, ultra quiet on here today. Hope everyone's ok and haven't fallen into any gaping chasms :eek:

    Weather looking a lot better here today, I'm hoping the wind will dry out the grass enough to cut it later on. Dailies done, plus toaster given a good shake and clean out. Also went to buy more bird food and horse bran to keep the slugs at bay, but forgot my purse :doh:

    Hugs, sticks and spoons for everyone!!

    Well I got one room habitable.. then Henry exploded... I give up on life..

    HV got her knickers in a knot over Twinkle not turning cartwheels or juggling or eating steak dinners.. she turned 1 yesterday does she really need to be running about or does she have the rest of her life to do that? then she got naggy about me.. and I just don't have the time to waste on GPs and physio and whatever other rubbish they twaddle on about..

    1 room vacuumed..
    1 shattered pyrex dish and formerly contained salad cleaned offf the kitchen floor
    Pixie fed..
    Litter tray emptied.. it was honking.

    Dinner thought about.. that was as far as I got but chips and sausage rolls look likely. Why do my children eat sausage rolls but won't touch a pie?? I have a sad looking cabbage needs using too. Rice krispies for me.. again.

    Bedding changed and thrown in WM. It's now blowing round and round on the whirly thingy, with more pegs than it can cope with. Just in case. I'm considering shoving a second load in the WM now just to get it out of my way. HHI done to make way for the next pile.
    Went to the market and bought up half the f&v stall, so the meal plan that I did last night will now have to be tweaked to cope with the veggies. Came home, went for a quick, as in short definitely not fast, run, shower and hair wash then up to the allotment to see what damage had been done by the wind and rain. Nothing too dramatic, but I still managed to "waste"an hour there. I now need a kick up the backside to make me catch up on the flying. After I've had another cup of coffee maybe....

    Pigpen I clearly remember a visit from the HV when DS2 was newborn. I was quite chirpy when she arrived and by the time she left she had convinced me that I had postnatal depression. She kept saying "you seem to be finding it hard" ... well yes having two boys two years and two months apart IS hard work when they are both small. And anyway you probably have far more experience at parenting than any HV...

    Home from job no. 1, I slept badly and for some crazy reason I went to my gym class at 6am so I am flagging now. Onwards and upwards, tea is sorted, the kitchen is a bit messy but that can wait. More paid stuff first. DS2 is on "study leave" which means lying on his bed doing bu**er all apparently! Must deal with that situation before I start some work.

    Firstly can I apologise for not putting up today's list. I was in very late last night and then with everything that is going on here it completely slipped my mind. I am so sorry and I hope you put your free day to good use.

    Tomorrow's list will be up shortly.. :D

    *aims a kick at all the black dogs*

    Not a lot happened here, we've all been out at school all day. Mine finishes in 2 weeks.

    Have fed us all. Cleaned out the indoor cage and evicted furries. It's been so windy here but it was too hot in the conservatory to leave them in.

    Hoping for a quiet night tonight and might get some work done. Only 3 small parts left to complete then I'm free for the summer. Well, not exactly ;)

    S'pose I'll go clean up after dinner!
