Good morning everyone and Happy Valentine's
DH has bought me a bottle of bubbly as we've been together for 24 years as of today :kisses2: We've been sat compiling our seed order, and are going out to buy seed potatoes later, and will plant some in the polytunnel this afternoon.
The house is really tidy, so I'm going to have breakfast and then claim my final stars

Hi all
We decided not to do cards or anything for Valentines day this year - had my birthday and our anniversary in the last month already! So far this morning i've eaten breakfast and watched last night's casualty. DH is still asleep but I expect he'll surface soon.
Today I need to mealplan for the week, look up stuff for the service I'm taking next Sunday (hope I have something suitable, don't think I have enough energy to write something new from scratch) and we also need to do some flying. The whole place needs at the very least a dust and dyson, I did do the bathroom yesterday. The kitchen needs a good wipe over as well, DH says he will finish cleaning the oven today.
Phew, I feel tired just writing that!Mum to gorgeous baby boy born Sept 2010:j0 -
A brilliant result Frodders, I listened to it on the radio. After the first half, the conspiracy theorist in me wondered if it would be a fix - i.e. a draw so there had to be a replay so Pompey got some more dosh to help stave off the tax man... But I sometimes thing too deep
Did you go to the match or did you watch it on TV? And Mum's know best, if yours has said have a quiet weekend then make sure you do!
I watched it on TV and I was soooooo nervousAt one point, I didn't think I could bear to watch any more but I'm glad I did
Just hope we're still around to play the quarter final ...........
I have done a load of washing, washed up and S & S the kitchen, and sorted a few bits in the front room.
My cable TV isn't working so next job is to phone them ..........."There's only one way of life and that's your own" - Levellers
