    I made it out!!!! There is carpet in there and you can see it!!!!

    Just had a little snooze on the settee. Made some ice cream. Got lamb chops and veggies for tea. DD2 has reminded me she needs a packed lunch for tomorrow and I haven't got any nice bits to go in. Bad mother. DS1 has had the logs delivered and come in like a drowned rat. Have loads of ironing to do after tea, who's a lucky bunny then?

    My two NEVER get nice bits in their packed lunches -just two slices of bread with something from the cupboard - marmite, peanut butter, jam......and a bit of fruit.

    Ironing complete....how's yours Hypno? Even got the wretched stuff put away. My bedding washed, ironed and back on. I love a freshly laundered bed, especially if it's line dried. No chance of that today, more like washed and washed again!

    OH has let the side down and won nothing today. The words could do better spring to mind. Hope some other DFWs were lucky, as long as the luck comes back. Hope the girls keep their room tidy as I want to wash their carpet and the living room on Tuesday. Its my day off but got to take DS2 to the orthodontist in the afternoon.

    OH has indeed done better today and won £20. Bitten the bullet and brought the nags in.
    Not too sure how impressed mine was at this prospect. Let you know in the morning when I put them out.

    Freezing but can't be @rsed to light the fire. DS1 is off to young farmers shortly, looks like we will be doing both runs as his friend isn't going.

    Well done on the wins, did have a look at the bingo sites but seems complicated and most of them are uk based sites so may just give it a miss for the time being.
    Freezing here too but at least the sun is shining.:T
