Hello to all. Ooops. It's after 11pm so I'll keep it short.

I was going to do the washing up but instead I e-mailed a few friends incl gibb.

Off to bed! Nos da pawb.

x-post, glad your party was good, a nice way to round off holiday.

Not managed today
homework of any kind
ironing ditto
tidy kitchen no
telly-free eve no
home blessing no

But have managed
to tidy front room and our bedroom a little
trp to Mcdonald's with voucher a success
bolognese for husband (and shepherd's pie in fridge for Wed)
taken ds1 to Cubs
picked him up on foot [long walk there and back]
rang two friends
had a nice drink and chat with dh in garden before Cubs pickup

So a good day all in all

now to make lunchboxes
I went to the Passport Office in the end Galen, because I couldn't face the ENVELOPE. Luckily it turned out to be next to Harrods so a fun morning (well I didn't go into Harrods, but felt as if I was having a fun morning window shopping etc)

Hope your dh got to his parents safely.

Evening all

We have had a great time at the party and stayed far longer than planned.

Children will be shattered tomorrow.

It wasnt that hot here folks and I could not leave all that ironing from the hols not done.

I have a busy week ahead of me and two councelling sessions, so I am hoping I can hold it all together.

See you all in the morning

Tomorrow all

Hi all*
*mad and scatty I did that last summer hols with my two - I just had two columns, go and do and I laminated the things and stuck velcro on them (sticky back velcro, which is cheap). Then I did a laminated Mon - Fri plan with morning and afternoon on it, and a piece of velcro backing on it; and every day they chose one do and one go and stuck them on. Sounds like a faff but didn't take long and they LOVED it, and we got through the whole list by the end of the summer. Thanks for reminding me!!!
Had a lovely day today. Did the whole Home Bless this morning - first time in ages I've done it - managed it in about 90 minutes and felt liberated afterwards! After lunch I played with the children all afternoon except for making the tea - it was brilliant and they absolutely loved it! It would be worth getting up early to get the jobs done, I think, if I could just chill all afternoon, without thinking about all the things which need doing. Of course, it meant DD had to play on her own this morning whilst DS at nursery, which I can't do every day, but she was fine with it for once.

Well see you all tomorrow, hope you are ok on your own, Galen, and not over doing it.

mad Looked at the link again and instantly thought BUT she has girls

Scatty I didn't make any sense did I
