    Evening all

    Monday and Tuesday's lists finished

    Also a load of washing done each day, including the throws from the living room.

    Being off work this week we've been out and about a bit so I've just been flying in between. I have skimmed through a lot of the thread but I haven't caught right up yet so I'll just send good wishes to everyone.

    I've got a sore throat and a snotty nose. Why do I always get ill when I have some holiday?

    MY SONS COOKED DINNER TONIGHT!!!!:eek::eek::eek:

    When I ran the options by them for tonights dinner, I got the usual lukewarm reponse. So, I said to them, there's the oven, there's the fridge - knock yourselves out. :D
