Might as well start with the positives

Out:
OH all day, driving to the other end of the country and back in one day, so
a sneaky throw-out of all the old tat in the dining room drawer - one small bag to the tip, with no-one around to stop me!

In:
One son, picked up by OH from uni at the other end of the country . End of academic year, and nice to have him home again





Also in:
All his stuff. In the study. Filling the study. Had to clamber through to get to the computer.
& several loads of washing
The nice new set of pans I bought him to take with him for the year. They're still in the box, still wrapped in the plastic bags they came from the factory in.

and out within an hour
Same son 'Have you got any food mum, I'm starving - sorry got to run, but I PROMISE to be back no later than 2pm tomorrow. I'll unpack then, and get it all cleared away'


Sitting by the back door, ready to go in the bin:
One disgusting pillow which hasn't been much troubled with a pillowcase or, as far as I can tell, anything remotely clean, since September He doesn't have a dog, but it looks as if that's what's been sleeping on it all year! :eek:

Managed to get OH to take an impressive load to the tip!! He even did a quick repair on my truck so he could take the broken bit too!!:T
I'm boxing up a load for a car boot but eveytime I plan to do one a spanner gets thrown in the works...grr:mad:

Other than shopping not much has come in.. oh some books and a nice smelly's set from my mums neighbour to put towards the car boot!!:D
