Hi all, tried to post earlier but lost my post so got mad and left it!
Cleosmum - thanks for starting the thread
Sophiesmum - hope your relative is better
ContinualDiamond - I have to laugh every time you say that your OH drives you to the gym and sits in the car to save parking!!
Today I have/will:
- done surveys/comps
- checked online banking and spreadsheets
- washed at 30, still on the line at the moment but better bring it in soon before is starts getting damp again!
- gotta do some research for a project at work as I never get time at work and feel bad that other members are doing more than me!
And the most exciting thing is that we bought a slow cooker off ebay for £14! Now I have the mission of finding some recipes! Can't wait!
Hope everyone had a productive or relaxing weekend, depending on what you were aiming for!
