    Morning All

    Pleased you had a good day yesterday Triker - sorry I missed your birthday.

    Not a lot happening today although DD has a concert tonight so will be out later.

    *is green*

    Toots
    - my lil Derby bird is NOT clutter - and she lives in a glass cabinet with a few other precious bits and my other pieces of Derby and because it is a cabinet they don't need frequent dusting ;)

    I have emptied the washbasket - final load about to go in (2 on line, 3rd about to finish)
    There will, however be much wailing and gnashing of teeth next week for both DS and DD failed to get all their uniform in the wash. They were [STRIKE]nagged[/STRIKE] reminded *rolls eyes*. Not one pair of school trousers has been washed.
    It has to be in by Friday evening in order for me to get it washed, dried and ironed over the weekend.

    Morning

    JulieJim - well done you

    Kaz hope you have a good weekend

    G&B how is LO apart from the school issue

    Weather not great here so will be mainly indoor activites. I do have to take DS1 to cricket and will pop to Morrisons for some bits whilst out.

    Think it will be a bit of paperwork and the family room sort for me today.
