I've made a batch of bolonaise (sp?), helped the children make banana loaf, done three loads of washing and have set up the ironing board for DH to do the ironing!
Rosepink....I sent the pigeon a while ago so the raspberry and choccie muffins should be there any minute...unless the pigeon ate them of course!!!
We're off to see Night at the Museum 2 tomorrow and taking a friend's son too....i've just been to tesco to get the drinks and sweets and just need to find a bag to put them all in. I refuse to pay cinema prices for snacks!

Why thank you very muchThe dot to dot picture is coming a bit clearer :rotfl:
It's not worth dyeing the odd socks, it just bugs me that there are so many! With each wash I am pairing all I can and then looking in the bag to see if can make any more pairs.Today I have added and taken from the odd sock pile :rotfl: Once we have sorted Miss A & W's (and our) bedrooms and I know there are none lurking then I shall bin the rest or give them to school for sock puppets.

Evening lovely ladies
I am signing off (unless I can get wireless free in the caravan during the rest of the week) until Sunday night when hopefully I will be back and fresh enough to tackle another new week.
Have to find some clothes to throw in a bag for our trip tomorrow - I refuse to take anything else as it should be there already.
Massive hugs to all those who need them and enjoy the rest of your week
