    Yeahhhhhhhh - that's brilliant about Rach's sister and baby. I was wondering how they were doing!

    I've just got soaked three times....yuck! I bought Stripes a halti headcollar because she's been pulling a bit and it hurts my scar. OMG she's brilliant in it....shook her head for a few minutes and is now fine. I got it at Pets at Home and couldn't fault the service....they were so, so helpful! I've also had a quick visit to the lakeland shop.....I love that place! Managed to escape just buying a laundary marking pen (that's what I went in for), some pegs and an over the door hook for DS's room.

    Think i'll go and use up some manky bananas and make a banana loaf ready for everyone arriving home. Then i'm going to chuck another 100 things!

    Be back later and i'm 100% in for the visualisation xx

    soappie - great news about rach's sister and baby george. Thanks for passing the message on. Enjoy your photographs.

    I've fed all my roses (which involved a lot of cutting back of other things that are very overgrown, and a certain amount of weeding) and am now covered in scratches :rolleyes:

    I've also started planting the stuff I bought in the garden centre ... I think it was only last week :o but this involves a lot of rearranging of pots and trying to decide what goes where. However, it needs to be done today. I have also managed to get one load of washing almost dry on the line, so that and the other one need sorting out. I'll have to tackle the ironing tonight, to make room in the ironing basket for the next lot of washing! Gym towels still need washing, so unfortunately those will have to go in the TD tonight.

    Best get back to the garden then :D

    Uurrrgggggghhhh, I'm in a seriously CBA mood. MrSh is the same. Too much to do, and don't want to do anything. I can't even decide what to eat. Bah! I want falafel, but haven't got any, neither do I have any chick peas. :rolleyes: moan moan moan! :D
