Morning All
It was very quiet last night - most unusual.
I'm going to try and get my last 2 hearts today and I'll make a start on that in a minute as the kids want the scalextric out today and there's no room at the moment!
I need to do a bit of ironing as well as I have 2 or 3 loads I haven't ironed.
Hope everyone has a good day

Morning folks. Just up and as soon as I get a cuppa in me (cant funcion without one first thing) then I will get on with what needs doing! Got a pile of clean, dry washing that needs put away, got a couple of windows that need a wipe over (inside only as I have a window cleaner who does outside
), finish a long standing DIY job (put air vent back up in my bedroom), plan a day out for next week, binbag dance, finish sorting 5 things to sell and anything else that pops into mind.
Think we might even go out and brave the big bad world today as I am getting really sick and tired of staring at the walls in here. Didnt even spend this long cooped up after having baby :rotfl:Emma :dance:

Morning all,
Well after a couple of hours of major flying in mine and DD's bedrooms yesterday morning. I ended up going over to my ex hubby's (that's No.1 by the way:rolleyes:) to help him remove the entire contents of his loft. 80% of which has ended up in my garage :eek:.
But, the plus is, that even though I have inherited ALOT of excess clutter. I am free to do what I want with it and I know there is a fair bit of money to be made there, through ebay and boot sales:D So it should help towards the financing of some of the furniture I still need.;)
Ended the day with a lovely bath, watched Casualty and then went to bed and read for a bit. Actually had a second decent nights sleep on the trot too. So fingers crossed I've knocked this bad sleeping again on the head once and for all.
Right off to locate my list............
Oh............ is it only me then who's kids don't break up for the summer holidays until this Friday the 24th?0 -
