Evening all
Please remind me not to go away. The holiday was lovely (green woodland and willing horse-flesh) and dd almost swan her first length (yippee!!) but the sight that greeted us upon our return was not. (Main floors of house fairly clean and tidy but unpainted walls with big patches of bare plaster, differently coloured splotches of pain, holes in said walls, bare wooden stairs, sad attempts made at storage in unsuitable/ricketey/temporary storage units ... really rather a depressing sight.)
Ah well, the good news is that our guinea pig no.2 doesn't have poo retention issues!! Hurrah! Our pet-sitter reliably informs us that is was an ordinary tummy bug and she is now well on the way to recovery and won't require nightly massages [huge relief emoticon]!!
Glad to hear your bunny has "shed her load" PA 
That's more than a bit of a bummer Darkness but at least you can now bask in the glory of a completed list and a a spanking clean house!!! Treble bravo!!!
Well done on your achieveable list too Lauren
Toffee it really is fantabulous to hear about your ds and the progress he is making after all the struggles you and he have both endured. So great the therapist/treatment is the right one at last (and that is a huge testament to your persistance and endurance - battling on until you found it!)
[Probably too late but directs gentle but carefully aimed kick in direction of Ahyes]
Waves to Linzer and hands over warm kaolin compress for knee
Droitwich have also looked at your blog and am v. v. impressed by the head-on way you are tackling everything. Hats off to you!
Did I miss stir-up Sunday btw (thanks for reminder). When is it/was it this year??
MC hope you and your dd recover soon (and well done to your dh for enduring emergency clinic - a true labour of love)
Pushme sympathies at the ground-hog day nature of housework/cooking. I'm sure everyone enjoyed the food as it was going down!!
Lorelais 
at your w/e! Poor you! That was a truly valiant expedition. You should write it all down so you can remember it in years to come (and hopefully be able laugh about it)!! Hope your grandad OK and that you can all catch up on some sleep.
Nicknacks Hope your friend let you know what was happening (eventually) - v. annoying otherwise
Madwoman hope you are recovering from your busy w/e
Frantic waves to Blue Ellie Molepom Justonemore Feetheart whoknows ladyinpink whoknows and everyone else I've forgotten
Got to go and clear up kitchen after dinner. Had Belgian peasant dish for supper of bacon, cabbage, potatoes, onions etc in a sort of soup but seemed to have used a very un-peasant-like amount of pans ....
