    Afternoon ladies

    Back from town - managed to get the loo roll holder but tried the shoes on and decided I didnt like them anymore :T so had a mooch round with DD. Bought 2 pairs of flipflops for her £3 and 2 tops for me £8, a couple of planters I wanted £12 + the LRH and somehow still managed to get through nearly £50 - confused smiley.

    DH and DD now down the allotment, hoping he finds more ripe strawbs but they never get as far as home when she's there as they eaten on the walk back :(

    Washing is on the line and I have spent 1/2 hour just sitting in the garden.

    Need to sort some more tidying out as DS girlfriend staying over tonight and the spare bed is covered in washing, the kitchen and dining room need a hoover and the middle room still needs sorting, plus I need to sort some tea. Might attempt bread to go with it :eek:

    Forgot to say - big huggles for carlsberg and Danny and shoos away the black dog

    Afternoon all, not caught right up yet but glad to see BB is OK.

    Today's list done. Two loads of washing done, dried and put away. Downstairs vacuumed (again). Going to take dog to the vet in the morning because she's not too well and we're a bit worried about her. She's 15 tomorrow.

    Going to catch up a bit more now.

    Sorry, its only cos I have to book practicals a school week in advance.

    pigpen can't you ring the midwife and get her to stick it in the post?

    That said, just got a letter from a friend, arrived today, posted 23rd May, with a first class stamp on:eek: And not too big for the size of stamp.

    DD1's room has been sanitised, really want to get rid of the dreadful layers of carpet and lino in there (3layers, why???) but don't have spare cash to do floor the way I want it.

    DH now mowing lawn, DD1 has done another reading paper (2a) and off to do the monkeys' tea.
    Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x
