    Ok Toochoosey, I'm with you! Might not be a full half hour as washing up gives me backache. It's wierd, I never get backache apart from when I'm washing up!
    Frodders, I've been thinking about your post about arm bands for school. Why not get in touch with Dominic Littlewood from the BBC? He has a thing about helping consumers and did a programme last year about haggling and getting things cheaper. He helped a care home get a new minibus specially fitted out to carry wheelchairs etc, and he helped lots of other people too. I'm sure he would help you. Just an idea anyway.
    Going to wash up now!

    Morning all

    Two loads of washing out on the line, it's sunny and windy at the moment I hope it doesn't rain.

    I shook the crumbs out of my keyboard but I think there must be onelodged becausemy space bar keepssticking......shake, shake.

    Toots - I've done everything on today's list, even the extras.
    Also, S&Sd bathroom and damp-wiped living room and computer desk and vacuumed right through downstairs. And as well as the fridge I've sorted out the freezer so there is room for tomorrow's shopping delivery.

    Took the dog out for a slow walk.

    I haven't read the thread since last Wednesday when DS came down so I have no idea what's going on! I'll just start from this week. Hope everyone's OK.


    Happy Birthday Flower:bdaycake:

    Good luck with the proposal Soappie :)
