    Today's list done

    One load of washing draped round.

    Dog taken out in a gap between the showers, very slow and ladylike today (and that was just me).

    Catching up.

    If DH and DS want pancakes they will have to cook them themselves. I don't like the smell of them cooking. They can clean up after themselves as well or next year I'll hide the frying pan.

  • Well, just got back from taking the curtains to the dry cleaners. Johnsons wanted.....wait for it.... £99.00:eek::eek:. To do them. So I took them to an independant dry cleaners round the corner form me and They have charged me £46.00. Still a fair bit to shell out, but they haven't been done for 8 years (dirty mare) so can't grumble really.

    I might skip moving the furniture today:p
    Sandy I never move our furniture; my back just won't take that kind of treatment. As I understand it, the deal is that you're not expected to do anything you're genuinely not able to manage.

    Trying to make a start on today's stuff, but I'm afraid my BD is constantly underfoot today.:( Thankfully, some is already done.
