    Yes, I DID iron yesterday!! All of it (still got to pair up the socks though :rolleyes:).

    I have taken a day off work tomorrow, no plans, just want to catch up with myself.....The children are skiing and OH is working so I can use a few hours to do as much or as little as I want. And I would quite like to spend some of it sitting in a relatively tidy house,.......so I should really do *something*.....

    DD is testing out the new lawnmower.....:T

    Why aren't children doing sock job as a small ordinary simple normal thing, hypno?

    Glad to hear you are off tomorrow-I was a tad worried the ironing was going to send you over the edge yesterday !
    Sleep in-long hot soak in the bath ............-and then no doubt you'll insist on being industrious but at least START the day right :)

    Sorry, realised that may have come across as Madame Interfere in cold hard print - was more concern for you being, as usual, ever more snowed under with tasks.
    Yes, get OH knitting his own..........

    I'll go back o/s and bury loo roll inners with a sweetcorn in each. Only came in to put 10 things of log roll edging on Freecycle.

    no problem ampersand!

    DD has test driven the lawnmower and the front garden looks a whole lot better.....not exactly bowling green standard, but the neighbours will surely be grateful that it is not so much of a mess!

    DS has brought down a bin bag of clothes that are too small.....hopefully this means that he has managed to put away all those that I ironed yesterday......dare I investigate :confused::rotfl:

    I think that may drive her to do more ironing...:rotfl::rotfl:
