    Two loads of bedding are out on the line.

    Hope it does not rain as have to go to hospital with DD(22) this morning.

    Just about to get changed and then rush off to catch the bus.

    Youngest DD has to go to orthodontist this morning and seems to have got over her virus, so will be dropped off at school by DH.

    DD(22) might be coming home from Oxford for a visit at the weekend so stripped the bed and getting it aired for her.

    Glad that OH seems a bit better.

    Saw a Remoska in the window at Lakeland when we took DD(19) back to Newcastle yesterday and pointed it out - DD helpfully pointed out the price!!!!!!

    Hugs to everybody.

  • All you ladies talking about spiders,I had a spider incident (not for the faint hearted I can tell you) during the night.I got up and went to the bathroom for a drink of water.It was dark and I grabbed the beaker from the stand filled it with water ad started to drink,I gagged as I felt something in my mouth and spat it out ran to turn on the light and there in the sink was a half drowned enormous(to me anyway) spider.The poor thing was half drowned and probably traumatised but not as much as me I can tell you.
    I am never going to not turn on the light again when going for a drink.
    I'm still gagging at the thought of it.

    Morning Everyone:D

    Funny everyone should mention Spiders today....we had a BIG one in the bedroom this morning!!:rotfl: taplady - I was only looking at the spider catchers in the Kleeneze catalogue yesterday!

    Well the kids have been dropped off at school, with the usual saga of "socks and shoes" in the morning:rolleyes: Must try and find some of those seamless socks

    Hoovering done, washing just about to be hung out, and the window cleaners been, so a busy morning so far!

    Off to the job center soon, hoping to find a nice school office job, but there only seems to be Teaching Assistant ones atm. Gosh if things get any tougher in this credit crunch I think I will have to perform elona's money spell every day!:rolleyes: :rotfl:

    charliesmum - So glad the wedding went well!! and the picture is lovely!!:T
    chrisca/sunny - have lovely holidays!
    mrsmix/catowen/vickyA/Bgrzl/churchie/ivyleaf - :wave:
    twink - sorry to hear about your uncle xx
    Happy Birthday to Mr Jannyannie:beer:

    Have a great monday all xx

    Charliesmum - I'm so glad that you had a good day and that the weather was kind for you all xx Just seen your pic, don't you all look lovely and don't you look young! Are you certain that is your ds?! x

    Thanks for that - as someone said to me on the day "You scrub up well for a 51 year old" :eek:
