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.

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!

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
