Oh dear, just trod on cat - he was curled up on OH's dressing gown on the bedroom floor and I didn't see him cos it's dark in there still. He's now sitting on the bedroom windowsill wagging his tail at me.

Was going to take DS1&2 to see a movie this afternoon but what they want to see is not on until this evening.

OK, this morning I've ss'd the bathroom and made my bed, emptied the dishwasher, hand washed a few dishes and emptied the fridge. The brilliant news is that our new fridge is now in place, although the door is the wrong way round, and the delivery man is not allowed to change it! And if we change it, and the door stops closing, it will be our fault this time! :mad: I'm half inclined to leave it as it is!

Anyway, I didn't feel like "breakfast" so had a couple of satsumas and was hijacked by a demented collie - Star decided she likes them. I've just finished a cuppa, so am going to re-stack the fridge, although I can't turn it on for a couple of hours. Then I'm going to top coat a lounge wall before DS does the chimney breast wall. And once that's done - it's the big clean!!! I think I'll be gone for some time.
