Morning Campers

Ive been up since 4:30am :mad: Not sure what woke me up but couldn't get back to sleep with loads going on in my mind so here starts the day! Its boiling hot outside already, OH has gone off for his job interview (9am in Exeter) so fingers crossed he gets offered it and gets him out the house!

Whats everyone else up to...you not up yet Sammy, unlike you??

    Morning Sally, I was awake at 5.30am this morning, not like me at all. OH is doing the stock take at work so when he got out of bed, he woke me up so I thought I would come downstairs and do some ironing:eek:

    Fingers crossed for your OH today X
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    1st load of washing and hung out, suppose there is an advantage to getting up early

    Good luck Floris on your DF Journey

    morning everyone and welcome to floris :hello: I'll pop over and have a look at your diary.

    I got most of what I planned to get done yesterday (pats back) apart from the MOT and service on the car which is booked in for Friday.

    Hubby is off again today, although he will be popping in for a few hours on Sunday before he jets off to the US :(
