    AnW :- age 5-6 hmmmm might be good for DS2 he's short of clothes too hmmmm.I'll check his trouser size and i'll let you know if they'll fit.

    Thanks for looking though i really appreciate it :)

    Off into the garden now. Unfortunately the little girl next door will be in from school soon so I will get endless questions while I am trying to declutter the garden, hopefully she will give up pretty quickly.

    Dh and I have both tidied our wardrobes and drawers. 2 bags to the tip and 2 for the charity shop. Small select pile to put on Ebay when I get a spare hour (dream on).

    DD returned briefly from last nights sleepover still in pj's. Autoglass were here to mend the windscreen of the friend who has been staying here. She also had 3 others with her so we couldn't give her a well deserved talking to. She's now gone off again thankfully wearing clothes! House and hotel come to mind again? DH is furious with her, she's not gone to work again today. She has a driving lesson tomorrow and if she thinks I'm going to pay for it......

    Right where's my kenwood chef.... I feel the need to make a cake.
