    Morning everyone!

    The weather was beautiful earlier but it's now started raining so have had to do an emergency dash outside to rescue my washing :(

    Revised plans for today now as I was going to spend the afternoon sowing seeds in the garden. Humph!

    Have also just realised I forgot to put down yesterday that I paid the rent!

    Today I have/will do...

    - Washing now draped on airers round house
    - Another load currently on, quick wash at 30
    - Plant some more summer bulbs (got this in before the rain arrived)
    - The garlic in the garden HAS started growing. About time!
    - Have a LSD - just need milk
    - Put change in sealed pot (and update sig)
    - Hunt for road change
    - Do free scratchies
    - Daily clicks
    - Do any surveys that appear
    - Read (still dawn French's thingy)
    - Listen to free music on lastfm
    - Daily free brain training
    - Recycle
    - Play some free games online if I get time/chance
    - Storecupboard/freezer meals
    - Day 67 of not buying any books
    - Day 67 of not buying shower gel, body butter or foam bath

    Think that's it!
