    Tuesday Terrors! ~ Bathroom of Doom Done!!:D:D:D
    Level One
    Level Two
    Level Three

    Frustrating morning, as had to run DS2 and DD into town (separately of course), then thought I'd get petrol. I didn't know there were temporary traffic lights for roadworks, and was held up for ages, getting crosser and crosser.

    Just had lunch, and will ferry DS1 to Post Office to send off ebay stuff, and then I think I'll spend the rest of the day in the garden pottering. I'm not really in the mood for allotment-style heavy duty gardening this afternoon!
