    I am sitting here[STRIKE] patiently[/STRIKE] waiting for my meat order to arrive, I will go find todays list.
  • Have just had a read back, hugs to anyone that needs one.

    I had such a productive morning yesterday, even managed to go into town and start a bit of Christmas shoping. I got home from school run with youngest DS gasping for a sit down and a cup of tea and heard the sound of dripping water in the kitchen :eek: . Turned out to be a leak from the kitchen tap pipe and the water was gushing out. After turning off the water, phoning the plumber and clearing up the mess I was waiting for the plumber when the electricity went off in one of our regular power cuts. :mad: So it was sandwiches for dinner and the ironing didn't get done but on the plus side the undersink cupboard is lovely and clear and tidy!

    So here's my updated list

  • Morning ladies and gents

    DS1 at nursery this morning - DH dropped him off for me so i get on a bit, which was nice of him, and as we were up at about 6 with DS2 it was much appreciated (he slept from about 7:45 till then so :beer: ).

    I've done a bit. Washed the trousers DH wanted me to, now stuck on another load of his stuff, and most importantly unpacked and put away my huge boots order - you would not believe the size of the box it came in - DH struggled to get it in his estate car.

    There is a pile of stuff to go into the garage - will get DH to do that later probably. I'm meeting my friend about 1 so will see what i can manage between now and then. DS2 has had a long sleep, so probably not much else then, although i know we definitely need to pop to the shops, and also get at least one more load of washing done as the baskets are overflowing again - it never ends does it.
