    Vanilla sorry I forgot to say congratulations on the birth of Rhys :j
    Lady-Liberty you will love the yankee tarts, if you've never bought them before - I am totally addicted to buying Yankee candles. Unfortunately Dh has to put a ban on me every three months as I kind of go overboard and spend a fortune on Yankee Doodle.
    Valli did I really read you say that you was the "sane" one out of the group..*choke choke choke*

    Just finished watching Ashes to Ashes so am now going to get foster cat off the f/freezer and have a bit of a cuddle with him before bed. Hopefully he will stay on the sofa once the house is in darkness and not go back on top of the f/freezer.

    Dinner demolished and tidied away after. Animals fed.

    I'm now pooped. I think the weekend has caught up with me - two late nights and a morning lounging around in the garden in the sun has taken it's toll. So I'm off to bed in a mo. I do need to moisturise before I go - I have caught the sun!
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life

    I misread this and thought you had to get the cat OUT of the freezer! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    I watched Ashes to Ashes too, it was a good one!

    I haven't done anything since my last post (except email a couple of freecyclers - more stuff going :j:j), as I had an email from my dad to say an old family friend died last night. It's not unexpected, as he had mesothelioma, and was diagnosed about a year ago, but still very sad, particularly for my parents. So I've talked to them, and texted his niece, who is a close friend.

    Now I need to make breakfast/lunch, pack for tomorrow and see whether I have time to get anything else done.

    Evening all,

    I think i over did it a bit earlier:rolleyes:. I'm not sure if i'll be going to work tomorrow, i thought i'd be ok but now i'm unsure.

    I was buying my RAC membership with my clubcard tokens earlier and i noticed i had a £10 one left to spend which expires this month. I only really use them for that so don't really take much notice of what else they do. So i thought i'd have a look and see what else they had and i noticed you can exchange them for clothes, garden stuff , makeup, tesco top up, toys and baby things ( i think there was more but i forget now:rolleyes:) at 2 x the value.:eek: I was so excited :o. I don't know if everyone already knows but i thought i'd say just incase. It seems like a really good deal.

    Anyway i attacked my extras list but then ended up adding loads more to it.:rolleyes:

    Hello everyone hope you are all ok ((hugs)) with a mask on for those who need/want one.

    I'm now down to a squeak for a voice unfortunately :( DP said it's not a bad thing....men eh! Kids have started to whisper which is funny.

    Been refilling the caravan today with a lot of the 'keep in caravan' stuff. It's all been in the house with us falling over it so pleased to get it in there, also gave us chance to figure where everything will go, how to manage the space/storage. We also did a test run with DPs concern over our tow car, it towed like an absolute dream! YAY I don't need to get rid of my car for a bigger and less economical one :D

    Oh those Yankee candle things, admittedly never owned one but at the caravan storage site today the owner is addicted to them and had the 'baby' smell one, how lovely! I might have to get some. I used to be mad for candle stuff but DP put his foot down :( no more candle sh*t as he called it because I never used them. I think I need to buy at least one and I WILL use it. Treat myself. Maybe even the baby smell one.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
