dusty - [/B]I didn't know about the JL clearance! Looks like some good stuff though some of the baby bedding I want is out of stock online
What a shame as will be good quality. Not sure I fancy trekking into London though! I've got a couple of bits in my basket though.
I'm lucky we have one 5 minutes cycle ride away. I bought loads (DH has gone to collect it from customer collection) but I know I won't keep all of it.Greenbee - camping :eek: At least the weather is ok.
Tax disc renewed, need to find the MOT and see when that is due, and order a replacement headlamp cover - which got cracked on the way back from visiting Dusty and I still havent fixed it.
DW emptied and filled. Need to get the WM on and then I can play in the garden all day.
Greenbee - have fun, I don't camp either

What are the chances they will still send the letters out anyhow as a notification

Not at all, probably karma from the people I was there to make redundant :cool:. I am still envious of your lovely Aga.
Lots and lots of weeding done, first raspberries eaten whilst no-one else was looking. Need to de-head the roses and do some watering when it cools down a bit.

Hi all, well we a slightly heated discussion where I told him I felt I was expected to do everything and he said I don't ask you to clear up do I? So hmmm guess that means I only have to do the bits I want to then
So I have done 4 lots of washing, including bedding, towels and all my work clothes. Done 1 hour ironing - all my work stuff. Shoved dinner in the slow cooker after lunch, cooked a butternut squash for tea tomorrow, some chicken breasts for my lunches next week, and went to see me mum.
Tomorrow's plan is pasta bake (jar of sauce) for lunch and then the bnut with chicken breasts for tea - so that'll be about 5 mins prep and some cooking time.
Current plan is to do housework and washing and cooking and stuff on saturdays and then do as little as possible on a Sunday, from now on!working on clearing the clutterDo I want the stuff or the space?0 -
Today I have done a load of washing, washed up and sorted and cleaned the kitchen, been to town and picked up 2 parcels, posted letters, paid in my cheque from Flybe, and played with the little furries! Also watch GP Qualifying and football
Need to pick up my meds in a bit (can't face Asda until later on a Saturday!)
ETA Just had a phone call from my neice
she was the proud owner of 3 gerbils
she's now the proud owner of 11...
I suspect what she thought was 3 boys might well have been 2 girls and a boy...I think 8 babies is a high number for gerbils...
My little furries went from 2 to 12 in 7 weeks!!! And that does sound like a lot for gerbils .......gunsandbanjos wrote: »Thanks Froddy:p
A lovely lady on MSE actually invited me to join her at the O2 tonight as she had won a pair of tickets to see Bon Jovi and no one wanted to come with her! Was gutted to have to say no as i have no one to look after LO:( Hope they come to Scotland next year.
Wow! How thoughtful. I thought about going again tonight as it's the last one - did you see that Bob Geldof joined them on stage on Weds? Amazing!YAY! I am now mortgage free. Went and paid it off this morning.
