Morning all can't believe it's 10 O'Clock already.

It is still very damp here but not actually raining at the moment. Really need some fresh air today so will go and do my out of house chores and fill the garden bin with leaves.

Lil_me thanks for the dry cleaner tips

Soappie poppies, I think they are so worried on tv of getting slated for not wearing them that they make a point of wearing them early. As a child I can remember going to a funeral in Novemember and all the adults debating should they wear poppies or not (non military family) and somebody (probably my mother) saying they should wear them upside down. I think these things often cause so much stress by wanting to do the right thing and not offend. My kids all wear them on the day and little one might earlier.

Shower and then time to organise the troops I think as back to school tomorrow and don't want any last minute I cannot finds.

Brilliant, thanks. I'm going to get a headstart today by changing the beds and picking up as much crap as I can but honestly - 13 hour days at work for the last three weeks have meant my house is not just messy, it's bordering on uninhabitable and my stress centre can't cope!
