Hope your cat is none the worse today for his 'escapade' Toffee!!
Glad you are feeling a bit better Shannara!
Hope return to work not too onerous Droitwich
and ds gets through today ok DEM
Enjoy your weekend away Ellie!
Big wing flaps to Blue Zapp Swan Whoknows Engels Castle Honu Feetheart Pushme Mercury and everyone else I've inevitably missed
DD delivered to last morning of art workshop, dog to vet's (to have teeth operation and possibly be castrated too depending on how complicated the teeth op is) and report from primary school in which end-of-term marks have been averaged out over year) delivered to dd's new secondary school (which we forgot yesterday when taking in exam certificates).
Have managed to clear up ground floor over the past two days (despite dd declaring herself "bored" every afternoon and needing lots of diverting activities other than Star Stable) and sorted all ex-school carrier bags of doom and sprouting things [ergh].
Have gone through all my sewing and haberdashery materials (which are legion!) and cleaned and tidied and sorted them all out in to orderly categories (instead of being a terrible tangle of zips, ribbons, petersham, bias binding, buttons, pins and elastic etc etc). DD said she quite missed the old tangle though and saved a bit of it in a small plastic bag
I do hope this doesn't mean she is picking up my hoardeing tendencies!! (Oh dear, I can't spell in English any more, how do you spell hoarding? Hordeing? Hoardeing!! Will look up in dictionary!!)
Only two more ex-school boxes to go and a small shoe-box of art materials to sort and we are through the worst.
Have also (finally) sorted out a huge stack of free sewing tutorials I have printed out from the Internet and kept and filed the ones I use often and chucked the ones I don't.
Have also washed and ironed all ballet kit for traditioanl annual week-long dance workshop next week.
And am taking advantage of this sunny weather to wash yet more winter woollies, throws, blankets, sofa covers etc etc.
Next have to start sorting dd's list of books for secondary school and the humungous list of materials and start acquiring/ordering bits of uniform for Sept + a new swim bag. (In a fit of enthusiasm dd has already chosen her new school bag.)
And buy her a few more t-shirts for the summer (she is growing so fast atm)
Once those things are done I can start focusing on imminent travel and getting house straight for rabbit sitters. (Dog is going on holiday to lovely pet-sitter's home.)
In the meantime, need to do a healthy shop and keep up with the 'diet' recipes for dh and myself and 'fattening up' recipes for dd!
Sorry for the usual boring verbiage!!! Can you tell I am trying to distract myself from dog's op this morning? [Chews knuckles]
Have a good day everyone!
