Morning all! I am washed, dressed, and downstairs facing the day, albeit with crutches within easy reach. I've not seen Downstairs before 4pm for over a week 
.
Hills sorry about Teen's A&E trip - if it's any consolation, I had to do the same with DS1 after he punched a lamppost. Everyone at MIU said "you've broken that" and then after the xray we had to go back through the same set of HCPs all going "how did you get away with not breaking that??". He's not done it again. Good luck holding yourself together with tape and hurrah for an almost tidy, sittable lounge!
Flower happy birthday! What adorable babies you have (all the more so when they're asleep, I suspect 😂) and well done to DH for putting That Woman in her place. Hope everyone is feeling better soon.
Hazel happy birthday week to DH and congrats to DD for passing her driving test. Hope 5.40 didn't roll around too quickly and back to school went well.
Mog hello again, hope the dust isn't too dispiriting. I think I was Meg last time you were on.
zoo I am certain you will look lovely in the dress even if it's not quite the colour you anticipated. At least you know that DD2 has got the recycling out even if it looks a lot because it's not been done for a while.
Sing well done on getting loads done, but you 'nana staying up til 4am. How old are you, 16? Hope today is doable. Crossing everything for the OU application for you.
Mc hope you are not too tired - I remember that feeling of needing a week to get over the weekend with a baby!
That trust back to school stuff is all in hand. Are you quietly checking off days in your diary until the refereeing of squabbles is over? I used to! We couldn't do handmedowns between the big boys as DS2 was the same size as DS1, or bigger in the shoulders by the time they went to secondary. It is still a minor bone of contention! DD and DS3 inherited a lot though.
Red excellent summary of what's been going on there!
ED hope you have dried out from your wet journey home from Scotland. Can you all sit on the Everhot if not?
Honey I've not tried shirts and trousers on DS3 yet either, they are in a bag in the corner of the Boudoir. I suppose I had better get to that this week (is it Boudoir week? I'm lost!)
Ta Da
💖 DH struck carpet in DS2's old room yesterday, prior to DS3 moving in. Nothing actually leapt for his throat, so we're taking it as a win.
🧡 Household cleaners etc ordered from Splosh
💛 Plumber contacted due to melting grout in Lovely New Bathroom. He says it's been liberally sprayed with limscale remover which must stop at once, and I need to speak to the lady who's cleaning for me while I'm laid up. I can't have her dissolving the bathroom!!
💚 Shopping list written for DD and DS3 to take up to town. DS3's meet up with friends tomorrow has been cancelled due to Unreliable Nanny rearranging her working week and friends' Mum needing to work, so DD has taken him to run errands and get Costa instead. She is so kind to her little brother.
💙 Fridge checked for existing veg and plan written to prep salads for the week so I can just hoik them out of the fridge. It's working well with breakfasts.
💜 Fishcakes for me retrieved from the freezer for tea. DH is having calamari and DS3 scampi, they can fix that for themselves!
🤎 Complaint made to Lakeland - their shiny heated airer has left scorch marks on DS2's good shirts! The rest of the washing is wet. He, and I, are furious. The remainder of his washing is here to wash and dry because we can't actually ruin everything he and the GF have to wear to work.
