Don't you just love kelly ? She thinks I have more than one bathroom anda laundry room!

Oddly for me, I cleaned the back of the toilet this week after listening to friends who all seem to clean the pipes behind their toilets every day...the joy of having sons I think.

Good morning aufish. We are back to school today, too.

I haven't done a list yet, but whenever anyone sees me please remind me to make dd1s bed.(She slept on it last night with no cover)

Morning all. Shouldn't be on here as I'm going away for a week in an hour's time, but I'm now addicted to Fly as well as MN in general! Definitely know the one about boys and toilets. Also, I feel good that I've had a right proper clear-out this w/e as she says you can't organise clutter, only get rid of it.

Hope you all have a great week, I'll be thinking of you xx

I was up at 5.30am and hung out two loads of washing.

Beat that!

Then got DTS up, got them ready and they were in nursery at 0740. I'm now at work having a rest!

This evening I will do the ironing after putting DTS to bed.

Thanks for the messages re our kitten I hope he's home soon too the kids are missing him already. I expect he's got himself shut in somewhere so I'll have to get dd to make up some posters...
Not going to the farm just yet cos some friends have rung to say they're passing through our village this morning and would like to call in Might try to do the farm later though if there's time.

Jelley Have you done dd's bed yet?
Londonmama have a great time away
EHM have a nice swim - I used to take dd every week as a baby - lovely
Luda enjoy the peace! I've enjoyed the holidays (mostly!) and am a little to be sending the lo's back to school tomorrow but have to say it'll be great to have some peace

I have a utility room - is that the same as a laundry room?...starting to think we have too many rooms...

Also need to phone sol to find out what time for court Wednesday. Its suddenly so close to hopefully ending. I can't wait but am feeling nervous already.

And need to pop to the shops for basic bits plus stuff for DD1's lunch box for pre-school tomorrow.

And would like to make some flapjacks!
