Morning ladies (and any gentlemen lurkers that don't post, come on gents, we don't bite!!!)
Just changed the thread title to incorporate Sunday, knew I'd do something wrong....!
Right, list for today:-
[STRIKE]- Put kids room back together, just been told that the curtain has magically fallen down on it's own...[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]- Washing on line, looks promising weather wise out there![/STRIKE]
- Had washing and tumble on plug timers last night to use cheap electric, bought plug timers in Ikea
Need to check if tumble worked, washing machine did, and we didn't hear it either so I was chuffed about that.
- [STRIKE]Batch cook[/STRIKE] cakes and [STRIKE]cookies[/STRIKE], didn't do that yesterday as was rebuilding the kitchen
-[STRIKE] Look in shed for grout and try to colour rather than buying grey grout to finish kitchen. [/STRIKE]
- [STRIKE]Look in shed for remaining upstand to do the finishing bits where I tiled yesterday. Broke a tile but artistically manouvered tiles to still finish it without buying more[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]- Get dressed I suppose :embarasse
- Get DSD out of bed, lazy pre-teen[/STRIKE]
- Go out to park later for free entertainment
