    Lunch ate and kids back outside. Hubby now sleeping, in fairness he has been very busy this morning cleaning out pig houses and sorting the cattle. I just hope he sleeps tonight. He's for Scotland in the morning.
    Now what to do???? Start the painting or sort the kitchen...... Suppose i better do the kitchen then later hubby can help with the painting.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    so true, the opinion polls are so annoying, and almost entirely false! To be honest half of the people around the school couldn't understand the party proposals. I tried to explain them to my children, as they were asking me about them.All the other parents called me a snob and some other very harsh words.

    Okay since last time i was on i've put another load in the WM, got bedding off the line, made a start on the kitchen.

    Back from Weymouth - lovely time had by all. No blinkin' fish caught, but to be honest going away with the boys is fun whether there are fish or no fish...we drank beer, we laughed a lot and we avoided the election...life was good!

    Edited to add: Got back to a heavy parcel sitting by my front door - odd...hadn't ordered anything recently. It's two boxes of free washing powder that I have agreed to trial and answer some survey questions about - there's at least a month's worth of powder - very :money:. The notes say I have to use the powder for a fortnight then they will send me more stuff to compare it with. Hoorah for free stuff!
