    Funnily enough, when I checked the ironing pile place this morning, there was not a single t-shirt or pair of y-fronts to be seen. DiL either did it in the middle of the night, put it in the bin or the Borrowers have taken it. Either way I ain't complaining!

    Oh I love the Borrowers:D Greyness is slowly brightening here and it is very warm already.

    Morning all

    BLISS BLISS BLISS BLISS...


    The grots are banished off to school.. there appears to have been a staff reshuffle and I just realised the little boy who was an absolute !!!! wasn't there... bonus fingers crossed they have moved elsewhere.. The sloppy mum was dragging her 6 y/o into school.. had he been mine he'd have had a slap on the derriere and told to get a grip.. alays one isn't there!

    I have so far filled one binbag with rubbish.. I am aiming to get another 2 done before the binmen get here.. yes my house is this full of crap.. I then have 3 binbags to go to charity shop.. :D...

    Off to kick DD1 out of her pit so we can go shopping for polo shirts and bags!

    morning everyone!!
    have taken kids to school then walked to library and back to drop off some books. Got to do a bit of paid work ( working from home)before i crack on with today's list. But the plan is to start on it at about 11.30, that way i can fit in an hour before picking dd up from school - (she's just started so only doing half days at the mo)
    right i'd better crack on, good luck with your lists see you later :)
