Hello, Pink1970 welcome. Don't make too long a list of things to do...just a few at first.

Hi all. Back at work so just popping in. All kinds of chaos has descended while I've been off (I am getting organised at home, but not at work). Also I need to fill in various forms and jump through various hoops due to having an extra week off to look after ds. Better crack on I suppose.

Catch up later.

Tortoise · 08/06/2009 13:38

I have made a cake!
Yes, i did put off the housework in favour of cake making lol! At least there will be something for DC's lunch boxes.

Need to think of something for Dinner too.
Will skip lunch as nothing to eat in the house anyway.

And i am a bad mum! I realised as we got to school that i forgot kids drinks in lunch boxes. I told them i would come back later with them. Have only just remembered.
