    Well I have done loads sat here (honestly!) while waiting for W to get up.

    I have done the online banking, reconciled a statement, cancelled and reinsured the caravan for £120 less with the same company. Now thinking I should have checked quidco :mad: was too eager to get it done. Caught up on here and sorted a couple of emails.

    Printed out ebay sales stuff, thanks kazw for the heads up on free listing, will let Dad know. ETA have you had an email, can't see it on the general announcements (wanted to check T&C's)

    We went last month to Crich tram museum and it was lovely, a really peaceful, gentle day out that 5yo train loving DS2 adored. The ticket lasts a year so even more :money:. We enjoyed Thomasland and have been a few times (clubcard) but I just asked DS2 and he would rather go to Crich. HTH

    We have been but it is several years since, they must have changed the ticket thing, a years admission is great :) We did (am hoping I still do) get cheap admission based on the staff travel that I get from DH's work.

    Right brekkie eaten, W up and eating as I type. Need to get organised and skidaddle.

    Morning all

    I love sunshine after rain the world looks so lush.

    HHI done
    Toilets done
    rabbits done
    WM1 on the line
    WM2 on the go
    Went to put my recycling box out as soon as I was dressed and realised that the neighbours' boxes were empty - then realised I could hear the truck round the corner -cue pick up box and set off.
    Fortunately it wasn't too heavy and they took it :j
    :T a girl after my own heart :rotfl:

    and wouldn't you know it the neighbour who's rabbits I'm feeding have only half filled their garden bin:eek: I'll rectify that for them and put it out with the other 2 tonight;)

    Plan:
    15 minutes kitchen rescue
    hoover downstairs
    dust downstairs
    make mince part of dinner
    Clean the sinks
    dust downstairs

    Garden:
    cut bamboo which is interferring with washing line
    pellet the pots again
    grass edging of strawberries
    straw around strawberries
    net the strawberries

    Friend coming at 2 so better get a wiggle on and DS2 needs to strip his bed.
