    Well done some of the list. Dd decided that she wanted a sleep so made it a lot easier. She hasn't done that for ages. Hope she isn't coming down with anything.

    I've rescued the washing, it was almost dry so i've put it in the dryer for 20 mins to finish it off. The load i was going to put out is now on the airer. The sun's come back out now though and it's stopped raining:rolleyes:. I'm not putting it back out now.

    We will still go out in the garden and let the rabbits out in between showers.

    wiseowl1 hopefully pigpen will see you, she is a clever lass really :) welcome and good luck
    Natty haha Jet obviously wanted the bed, hope the meds work
    Penny, oh bother hope she feels better soon, my sister used to get it loads and they whipped hers out.
    embb ((hugs))

    Well it looks like we're not going up to the caravan as DP is still in bed, think he must be tired......cheek of it. I do need to stay in until after the plumber has been anyway so might have been too late to go up this evening. Bed at 3am and I was up at 7am, been unpacking some more, doing more laundry and doing more cleaning here. Have set up the airer in DS2s room with their stuff on, there isn't anywhere down here for it but thinking it might be easier to put away if I do that.

    I've now changed addresses with my bank (wasn't in hurry as online statements etc) child benefit (didn't know you could do it online) school milk, BT (cancelled one and set up another) boys DLA and coolmilk....so that's a few more down. I have paid the gas/elec bills that came through, they were only small and we haddn't used the amounts stated as we haddn't moved in but thinking it'll be a head start for the bills. I have also switched gas and electric, saving of £400 ish it stated from what I am paying now and £60 cashback :D yay!

    Stayed up to do the kitchen last night, almost everything is where I want it to be, well out of the stuff I have here as some things like the microwave are still at the old house. Pantry isn't becoming food storage, well not intentionall, it's for appliances etc as I got in deep trouble when we found more supplies in the house and oodles of stuff out of date that I had stashed.

    Oh sounds like DP is up, catch you all later x x
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
