    DD has pinched my laptop *roll eyes and shruggy man smilies * so I've had to fire up the steam-driven desk top ;)

    In my HHC I've tidied and cleaned the kitchen and S&Sed the living room :T How about you kezlou?

    HHC 11:30 - 12:00 anyone :j



    Hurrah - Thursdays are good for me :j I'd prefer in town - does good coffee, excellent lunches, and is the most child friendly place in York :j It's an old church, so has a touch of that left, but I'm a confirmed atheist and don;t mind it at all :)


    Thanks Pen, I'll have a shufty, I suppose after sorting dates, parking is a huge issue in York so we have to be mindful of that. Whatever day we decide, I'll take as leave as a weekday seems preferable, plus York shouldn't be as crowded.

    Smartie -how is your course going? Still loving it but get my results back some time after Easter breaks for Unit 102.

    I didn't do 102:( I'd missed a few weeks cos of bleeding/naughty baby and TBH my heart wasn't in it. Tutor has said I can get a sick note and do 102 and 103 in the future for free. I'm just going to pop along to refresh my mind and to catch up with the lovely ladies on my course.

    Good luck with your results ;)

    Today I have:
    WM on
    Sweeped bathroom and kitchen floor
    Cleaned bathroom sink and loo

    When WM is finished I'll put the washing out in the lovely sunshine then I'm meeting a friend for lunch:D I'm thinking pub lunch sitting outside... with a bottle of wine! Ok... maybe not the bottle of wine *sigh*;)

    Hi

    I had an early night last night due to a bad headache, and woke up again with it this morning. It's just about gone now. Getting rid of DS2's playhouse on freegle took some time, as there were so many people interested. Hopefully it will be collected later today.

    The last 3 days have been remarkably unproductive, and today hasn't been much better so far. Time to get a move on - I'll catch up with fred when I'm having a break later (read to p.60).

    I'm quite embarrassed that my list is still so long, but that's about to change.

    Have a lovely time at the meet 'down south'.
    Mumoffour - congratulations, he's gorgeous.
