    Nah, no e-numbers...I cheated as i've been doing the children's rooms all week. DD arrives home today so hopefully she'll be suitably impressed with her room - if not i'll lock her in a cupboard!!!!!

    Justamum - congratulations to you brother. I'm glad he's back to the happy brother you remembered. My sister got divorced two years ago and i've never know her happier....it's lovely.

    Boddy - thinking of you and your children today, hugs xx

    Serena - have a fab holiday.

    xx

    Morning all

    It's hot and humid here with a few spots of rain but I've stuck a load of washing out on the line anyway.

    Done the bathroom/toilet today which I normally do Thursday but I couldn't be bothered yesterday.

    Kitchen S&S, dusted living room and vacuumed right through downstairs.

    Took dog to vet for her annual booster and paid the paper bill in the newsagents while I was over there.

    DH has gone away fishing until Sunday night, DD1 is away for the weekend, DS is away for the weekend (he doesn't live here but it means I'm unlikely to hear from him) and DD2 is at work today and tomorrow.

    Just me and the dog then...... :D At least it should stay tidy apart from all her toys which I keep slinging back in her basket.

    Just caught up - was out all day yesterday. Had physio first thing and then took the kids bowling. Mind you the house stays tidy when everyone is out so plan for the next six weeks is to be out all the time so I won't have to do any cleaning lol.
    Plan for today is go to post office to send info for villa (already sent it once but the chap decided to ring after 11pm last night to tell me they hadn't had anything :mad: ), nip into Aldi for a few bits and then the chemist for more Nurofen.
    Weather is glorious again so I've got a load of washing on the line and plan to spend this afternoon in the garden. The kids can go in the pool.
    Have a great day everyone.
