    Afternoon all

    I've thoroughly cleaned the family room today, got DS1 to help pull out the heavy furniture. Also put some bits into the loft from the landing with his help.

    I'm off to the galleria for an hour now as it is right by the uni where DS2 is for the day (G&T maths thing) and he asked to be picked up so he is home in time for the match.

    Must get the towels in first or they will be too dry.

    Back from DD2's appointment at the opticians. Fortunately she didn't seem too bothered by the eye drops so that was a relief. We'll have to wait until next week to get her glasses but I'd rather go there than go to one of the within the hour places as they are in the centre of town so its much more hassle to get them adjusted/repaired. This optician is only 5 minutes away. She's getting some very cute pink glasses which should help to correct her squint. Unfortunately the vision in her 'good' eye isn't that great either. Just got to tackle the pre school injections tomorrow now!

    Will get a bit of flying done while DD2 is having a sleep...just about to chuck her in bed now. So quick list to focus me is needed.

    Afternoon all

    I've done all the bedrooms today and three loads of washing are already dry and put away!

    Also vacuumed through downstairs after dusting the living room and computer desk (again).

    Done the updates on the computer and it seems OK after a restart *touches all the wood in sight*

    Not caught up yet, so I hope everyone's OK and I hope Lady L is settled in at Glastonbury.



    Glad you're OK Holly.
    Hope they let you stay on for a while at the centre Toots
    Can't remember "seeing" embb for a while - are you OK?
