Bigbeer, so incredibly that you are going to see Prince. I saw him years ago in Glasgow - Shakespear's Sister opened for him, which should date it! - and he is so fantastic.

Hope all you poorly people feel better soon, hard isn't it being a mum when you're ill...one of the worst parts of motherhood i reckon.

Off out again with dd after school so tonight will do evening routine, maybe some ironing....and a lovely long soak in the bath

Evening - sorry to hear folks are still in the FLYhospital

I had to go to uni to enrol first thing this morning, so was mega-prepared for morning routine and things went pretty smoothly.

Haven't really done anything since I got home except rescue my kitchen after dh's cooking escapades last night & ds's lunch-time fun with grandma.

Dinner is mushroom risotto, so can't really do much until the last minute.

Just want to say thanks to Jas, Ludaloo, FGS and anyone else who regularly provides the links. I really do feel as though I'm getting the hang of this now .

Maintain a shiny sink yep
Put on a bra yep (well from lunchtime)
Make beds no but then I was in and out of it all day
Laundry yep put away clothes on airer
2 min hotspot yep I cleared the worktops
5-15min declutter no
S&S no
DTDs reading no
DTDs recorder practice yep
DTDs word lists no
Make sure milk cups are washed not yet hoping DP will take the initiative, but then he didn't last night and they were still there this morning.
Clear worktops eyp
Put out recycling yep
Tidy DD3s toys unlikely don't fancy crawling round floor. DDitto milk cups
Clothes for tomorrow unlikely another PJ day I think
BED may have another early one*
