    Good morning everyone!:hello:

    Keeping my fingers crossed for you SSL fingerscrossed.gif

    Have a lovely away day Boddy and enjoy your day off Soappie :beer:

    Another warm morning here, and there are lots of grey clouds around. Have had a headache since about 7 last night, and slept in til 8 this morning. Think it might rain, which will help my headache, but will scupper my plans to walk into town. Will see what the weather is like after I've got dressed and had breakfast. Bought some of those oats and more cereals on saturday as they were half price in Mr T, so looking forward to trying the raisin one this morning.

    Right, off to get on. Thanks for the list pigpen - glad it's the living room as I haven't done that yet.

    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

  • First stumbling block, both boys still asleep, went to get Dyson from under stairs, realise needs emptying (the dyson that is, less said about under the stairs the better!) go to bin, bin full, empty bin, take out rubbish and dyson contents to dustbin. Clean lid and bin etc. Reassemble Dyson, both sons have arrived downstairs in full couch potato mode...sigh.

    Will reattempt after work.

      :wave: all! Hope your weekends have all been good.

      We're just back from 6 days at my Mum's, so I have a mountain of washing, plus I go back to work tonight :(, and will have 6 hours less at home per day :rolleyes: so I'm really going to have to get myself organised if I'm going to keep on top of everything.
