    Still lurking around with a hope of some salvation:cool:

    Footie taxiing duties this morning - oh joy.... Have some DS free time but I have resisted the gym - my legs were complaining this morning and I realised I have only had one rest day this week so it's probably for the best. That said I had to drop DS off at friend's with bike which meant I had to cycle there too. It's a gorgeous day here today summer at last!
    Must go wash car and make some bolognese and meatballs for the freezer....
    Money wise things are still just about balancing but I've gone way over budget on petrol, just hope I won't have to do this every month...

    Skinty if you were Mrs disorganised you wouldnt be batch cooking, you would be shooting through a McD drive through.................






    like I did today:o
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.
