DS2 came home from sleepover (ears in one piece) quite late last night. Took the girls swimmng yesterday and then picked them up later. Tried to get a few pressie but they didn't have any in stock.
Weather seems calmer today might manage to get outside and get some logs done and get the horses ridden.
Won £12.50 on BB so that will be winging its way to the debt once it comes back into the account.

I seem to be drowning in washing at the moment. I have been trying very hard not to use the tumble drier, however I have succumbed today. Managed to get a load on the line, 1 in the drier and a load washing. So looking forward to the ironing!
Had a lamb delivered yesterday which cost £80 so got a lump in the oven for dinner. OH and DS1 are being macho with the chainsaw and cutting some logs. Will need to pop out later and get some milk. Managed to win £10 on BB so deposited £10 and now waiting for 6 hours to withdraw.
Watched a dvd in bed this morning Changeling starring Angelina Jolie, based on a true story. Heartbreaking, harrowing and very moving. If anybody gets a chance to watch it I recommend it.
