hello ladies (and gents?) I am coming to have a look at your thread but I am scared of lists as I never manage to get to the end of them. Does this help? I worry it will just make me feel worse when I (inevitably) fail to achieve most of what I have planned.

DS has just gone down for a nap so have an hour or so with just the girls.

They are currently at the table drawing or something, I have no idea

DH has had a bath, but looked dog rough still, although he is just venturing downstairs now - wonder how long that will last.

Does everyone not have a hall for weeing in?

Actually my hall is split into two, half tiled and terracotta orange, the other carpetted and yellow,
the 2nd runs the whole length of house(bungalow) so it will be decorated last
so little hall as I will be calling it will be getting done first, and then Kitchen, as utility room and little living/family room all off little hall, and they've been done

does that make sense

going to make lunch
soup and crusty bread, delaying using my sparkly clean oven

DJM just relax we all have those days
