Ouch

If I try hard enough I can probably find a part of me that doesn't ache.

Yup, found it, my eyelashes  don't ache, goody.

Today Helen and I went to Lizzie's house and between us we gutted the garden, we did 3 tip runs, filled 2 hippo bags and had a visit from the scrap man.

The previous owner loved ivy and the garden is over run with it, once we cut it back the garden was a metre wider.

The children now have a garden they can play in for the summer holidays

We will go again next week and do some indoor work, Helen is having Lizzie's 12, 9 and 6 year to stay over a few times, I will have the 18 month old to stay at the same time to give Lizzie a break.

We were there from 9 until 4, I went from there to a colleagues house to collect her keys, I am feeding her cats, fishes and watering her plants and garden for 3 weeks.

From there I came home and made supper for my L&M and took it up to him, I'll go back and collect him at 9 or 10 when he finishes.

I then returned home and took out the recycling, 1 wheely bin, 1 large bag and 2 boxes, one of card, one of glass.

Phew, feet up with a cold drink now and then maybe a jacket potato for me.

I'm exhausted just reading this! I know that you help out the family a lot but I do hope that you remember to give yourself a wee break now and again.

My L&M is on holiday in 2 weeks time we will spend time together then.

I'm cooking the Sunday roast again today, I can't face another ruined meal at 8 o'clock at night with Steve either in a strop or...
