    Happy Mothers Day, llama!

    Still grey and yuk here. I am out for most of the day, so hope it dries up a little.

    Beanie - yes, £200,000 is the number you were looking for. My own salary just falls a tiny weeny bit below that :rotfl:

    Off to scratch and bank etc.......then off to help DD with the paper rounds as she is covering DS' round today and the weather is FOUL.

    Have a good day x

    Paper rounds done, porridge demolished, and 20p on the scratches today......

    More washing in the machine, one lot in the drier, and about to do the odd bits of ironing that need doing so I keep on top of it.

    Then will dive in the shower and make myself presentable for the rest of the day.

    :wave: I have lots of rice to declutter before I move :D I think I'd better learn risotto ...

    Hope you have another nice day out, Hypno - I'm so looking forward to moving, I'll have so much on the doorstep, rather than an hour's trek to get to some transport. Not that I'm going anywhere today, mind you - I really need a *relaxing* day at home, so I'm trying not to fill it with too much stuff.

    go-de-go-go :rotfl:

    I just had the funniest idea about the decluttering (I definitely need to get out more) - the drawers and wardrobes etc all have more space in them, so I'm emptying into them the stuff from the (decluttered) airing cupboard - so it also *looks* like less, and the removal men will charge me less when they come round to quote. I'm sick, I tell you, sick :D:D:D
