    I'm just going to throw everything out.. nothing to make a mess with then!!

    That's my plan too!

    Dropped stuff off at scrap store, charity bin and bag of clothes to a friend.
    Got a few bits in Waitrose including some reduced bits and spoke to a really good pharmacist about DS3.

    Just having a cuppa and then going to do a HHC at 16:45 before I do anybody any dinner!

    I've deleted 3 unused links from my faves, do they count in the 100 thing fling?

    Going to get the mop and bucket from the shed now and mop the living room/hallway/cloak toilet and kitchen floor - not in that order, toilet will be last.

    Afternoon! Thanks for all the birthday wishes!

    Toots - No plans for today...apart from listening to the baby have a strop because he's overtired! The wailing is quite tuneful at times!

    Is it quite sad that was pleased that my OH gave me a hand held blender as a present (I had asked for it!). He also got me croissants for brekkie, a bunch of lovely red roses and is paying for me to get my hair done.

    Mum and dad gave me a fab bread maker which is great!

    So far I have flung out....
    - 18 used envelopes, 3 plastic bags, 3 bits of cardboard, 1 massive spider that was lodging in a jumper.

    Doesn't everybody?:confused:

    (ooh she doesn't know about me :rotfl:)

    I flung a bumblebee out - after it was walking up my arm and I screamed (cos it made me jump) - was wondering though - do they sting?

    yes they do.. but then they die so they only sting under extreme stress.. like when they are in the cats mouth being chewed or crushed against your arm while you bring the laundry in
