    Welcome domino sue - it's been so long since I was in Cumbria, (brought up in Seascale)

    Tag - L is in the post, I got OH to take it to the PO at Asda when he went to pick Ashia up from work.

    I have had a lazy evening but I promise I will be flying in the morning - if I don't OH and I will be lost in a sea of chaos.

    WooHoo only the bathroom to get done now but think i'll leave it until tomorrow, WM and TD both on and a banana cake in the oven. Need to now get the kiddies to bed.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Had a nice chilled evening, feeling human again and contemplating what needs to be done tomorrow. Will post a full list tomorrow but to remind me for then:

    bathroom
    living room
    our bedroom (possibly sunday as I tend to change the bed then)
    hallway
    clean washing away
    wm - towels, bedding
    meal plan
    food shop
    wrap MiL bday present (DH bought it!)
    post 60th card to dad's gf
    take stuff to charity shop
    handwashing (thanks Greenbee!)
    watch chick flick I've recorded

    I am determined to get more stars!!

    soappie - decided on fruit salad and M&S meringues, then friend who is coming phoned and said she'd picked up a choc pud reduced in M&S (apparently they reduce loads on a friday about 6pm....i'll be there next week!) which she's gonna bring but I think I'll do the fruit anyway as I can have it then even if no one else does!
