    I did also find a few lottery tickets which Ive never checked! You never know, I could be a millionaire and not know it!!! But I wont hold my breath! :rolleyes:

    I hope they are no more than 6 months old! Just imagine if there was a big winner in there and you had been going to work all this time :eek:

    It's getting v warm here again, although I have seen the forecast for the w/e and it looks like wall to wall rain :( not going to enhoy sleeping in a tent if it's like that!

    In the HHC I cleared a space near the TV so the chap can plug in a loan DVD recorder until my new one arrives :D Also folded and put away some washing. Got a load in the TD now and about to do some ironing to try and clear the rest of it all up.

    soappie - it's lovely and sunny here!

    .

    It's getting that way now. The cloud is slowly burning off. I'm optimistic about getting yesterday's washing dry at last.

    Better go do the kitchen before it gets too hot. I have been doing my OU assignment up until now.

    Ok did level 1 which also entailed doing the washing up DH was supposed to do last night. I wasn't going to do it because it is only job. I cook and do everything else, he is supposed to wash up but alas I had to do it and if my sis wasn't coming I would have put up with it all and left him to do it this evening.

    Just wiped all the small appliances and now I'm off to do the big ones and the hob and oven (outside - inside can wait till next week or the w/e), sweep and mop the floors. Another HHC for me I am going to set a timer so see you in 30 mins.
