    I know honey but i dont think its doable on that date - its Mum's 80th remeber so i think I had better be there!!! Will need to see if there are other tour dates that i could possibly do!

    Awww I do remember, will keep it in reserve for now ;) Got a couple of peeps on standby. I am currently auditioning for an A-ha gig buddy! Got a couple of tickets as I fancy going but not sure who might go with me. They are playing NIA in Oct and I was unsure about going as last time I saw them there with DH, but I figured if he was here then we would be going together and he will be pleased that I have decided to go this time :D

    Decluttering Miss A and W to bed. Miss A won 'cub of the week' for her war wound from camp (she fell over a tent peg!), she was the only one with an injury :rotfl:came home with a lil trophy and a BIG grin!

    DW on, TD finished so going to fold clothes.

    toots- I know it makes sense, but I'm thinking that dust and muck might fall on shelves below, so though I'd start from the top. And NO - that's not me getting out of doing worst first - well ok it maybe, but you've got to admit it souns plausible!!! LOL :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Hey all, thanks for the comments on the shoes - I did think about his trainers, but they are white and my little one is football daft, so you imagine the state of those too :rolleyes:

    I went to sport direct and picked up a pair of black trainers (which he could wear to school and can also wear in the summer hols....) and a new white pair too. They were only £8.99 each so not too bad. Hes not old enough to care what make they are so i dont spend a fortune. They dont last long enough, and its nothing to do with the quality - he grows too quickly or they get wrecked playing football.

    Flying wise, I have done the dishes, pots are now soaking in the sink, will do those in a second. Have filled a binbag with clutter from the kitchen and the dining room and also filled a carrier bag for the recycling. Lunch is ready for tomorrow (for me), will do LO's in a second too.

    I have set up the ironing board so will get on with some of that in a bit xx

    Tell you what Valli - I will pop round yours and do the dishes no problem!!! Id much rather do that than my horrible ironing!!!

    I do it in stages you see - first I set up the board, then about 20 minutes later I put a basket of ironing next to it, I havent acutally got the iron out, but i will - soon :D
