    Coins sorted and bagged - £58 in 15 bags :beer: - and a maths lesson for DS1 who helped sort it. Am I right in thinking the post office will only take 5 bags at a time even if I use it to pay for the euros? I am with you Jo and refuse to pay the 8% on the coin machines, although I used to for the small change.

    Charity stuff sorted and bagged ready to go.

    WM on for the first of many times.

    Chunky - congrats for your OH. Good to see you posting again by the way.

    Had a thought and decided to go out tomorrow instead - then I can go first thing before it gets busy. I do hate shopping, especially with the boys :o.

    I have bathed and when washing my hair, got shampoo in my eye. It's still stinging. Never mind, my eyelashes will be lovely and soft...

    Is this how you got your username?? :confused:
    Sounds painful- hope the stinging goes quickly

    Hex - I don't know about the PO but I pay mine straight into my bank account (TSB) without any problems. They only have to put them on the scales - it's hardly rocket science!

    In my 1.5HHC I've:

    Fed Gemma
    Put washing on line
    Sorted DD's clothes out
    Reloaded the WM
    Fetched step ladders from upstairs
    Cleared drainer
    Washed dishes
    Cleaned some of the high-level cupboard doors

    I'm starting another HHC now if anyone wants to join me!

    Morning everyone. Cool and dull here today. Had the best sleep Ive had for ages. Going to see mum this morning. I cant remember who suggested it but I will photograph her bruises. Going to ring DD shortly and see how she is today. I did most of the living room yesterday so will finish that later.

    Dailies done.

    ssl and jjeff Give Toots a hug from me please and that Im thinking of her.
    Natty and rosepink Hope you both feel better today. Maybe worth giving your gps a ring.

    Well off to take the kids to school playscheme now although DD says she's not going so we'll see. Spent the last HHC in the kitchen apart from a quick dash outside to bring the washing in.

    Catch you in a bit.
