Good morning slatterns
I hope everyone had a lovely weekend.
The wedding was great, only marred slightly by the fact the hotel thought it would be a good idea to put our room directly above their vodka bar/nightclub. DD 16mo only had about 6 hrs sleep as opposed to the usual 11-12 and i think we had about 4, i just can't function on that little sleep!!! We all slept like the dead last night in our own beds.

Despite our best efforts to leave the house tidy before we went, i seem to have loads to do today.

Everyone up done
Everyone breakfast done
Everyone dressed done
Strip beds done
Put sheets in wash done
Feed and turnout horses
Hay man coming this morning
Hang sheets out
Lunch
Put more washing on
Muck out and exercise horses
Hang washing out
Cook dinner
DD bath and bed
Wash up
Do some stuff for my course

Will probably add to it later

Morning everyone, I have just washed all my presses . What sort of effect are you slatterns having on me?

Back later with my list, just wanted to share my shocking news with you! Might not get anything else done this week with the shock of this so early on a monday morning

Good morning to all.
