Dustykitten

Holly you did good.

I've:
Got washing in (good job too as it is now raining)
picked some flowers for the living room
dead headed dahlias
hoovered upstairs (bar DS2 room as he is playing on the floor)

Going to do tea for the younger two then sort out something for me and DS1. DS2 wants to try Judo tonight so I will have to do 2 runs there now.

Time for DS1 to do somthing I think.

Is it sad that I was watching a Markys ad last night (bring back Dervla!) and wondering if I started buying a bottle of their fizzy wine once a week between now and Christmas how many bottles would I have???

I would have NONE because I would have drunk them ALL

Pigpen - and I thought you were the Oracle of flylady, and it was a case of practice what you preach! I pictured you as being a domestic goddess!

I have had to pop out to do a little (regular) errand, got back just in time to notice it was starting to rain so brought in washing. All that needed (in my opinion - not yours! lol) ironing had been ironed. Sheets, pillowcases, teatowels and duster!
Ooh Sarah - complaints about MadOnna concert! Poor sound! Hope that makes you feel better! (I am trying to remember not to type out words that a search engine will pick up as a googl I did the other week picked up one of my own posts!)
Wondering whether to tumble towels for half hour just to dry them completely off as no airing cupboard. Apparently due for rain again tomorrow so I think I will.
Done some filing and banking too!
Been to hygienist and she wasn't as cross as she usually is (I will not floss) says they are better than last time.
DD has had her jab and isn't speaking to me! She's got to have 2 more yet - one in a months time!
Where is the see you later!
