    Okay I spoke to friend and we're going to brave the weather and wrap up well :rolleyes: :o We're going out at 1:30 so I've got about an hour and a half to get a few jobs done. I've had scrambled eggs for a very late breakfast and have had a blitz on the kitchen; one more load of washing put on, dishwasher unloaded / reloaded and put on, surfaces cleared and floor swept ;)
    I've also ade both beds and tidied both bedrooms :D They, and the bathroom, are just awaiting cleaning :rolleyes:

    Hope you managed to get a dry spell for your coastal visit. We went to the seafront today and had an ice cream - it was dry but nippy, and we didn't spend too long there, but the little time we did have was quite nice!

    I didn't get much done off the list today, I did the premium bond thing, under ds's bed and my eyebrows ;) It was nice down the beach, its a nice walk for about a mile or so through woodland down to the beach and ds rode his bike all the way there. He had his all-in-one splashsuit and wellies on so was loving going through all the puddles :rolleyes: :D We got the little train back (2.00) and yeah, it was a nice afternoon out :D

    I wouldn't worry too much about the rest of the list - presumably you have got half term to get things sorted?

    Yep, and nothing on there is particularly urgent ;) Ds is going to mums for a sleepover tomorrow night so I may get on with some of it then, then again I may go swimming or something instead :rolleyes: :D

    Morning :D Nothing new to add so far this morning, ds woke me up at 6:20 again so I'm feeling quite zombiefied :rolleyes: :o The sun is shining here though so hopefully we'll have a good day at Moors Valley :D I'm taking a packed lunch with us so I can control my points but also as food is sooo expensive there ;)

    Have a good day out, benben - the temperature's supposed to take a nosedive later on this week, so this is a good one to be out and about.
