    Morning All :wave:

    Thanks to Flylady Central as usual for keeping my house pristeen!

    Will have to try have a look back on old fred later to see whats been happening, too hot last week to sit with lappy!!

    Its my wedding anniversary today, DH woke me up before he went to work (at 4am) to wish me Happy Anniversary :D, I didn't get back to sleep :mad:

    I worked very hard in the house yesterday, started in my bedroom and worked my way down stairs so everywhere is looking great. Ironing basket is still empty as well, done it whilst watching the footy yesterday, shame England got put out.

    Am off to get a shower now, back to work today and our schools finished up on Friday so poor DD is being dumped with whoever can take her :eek:

    Hugs to you all special love and hugs as always to Lady-L (Hope you are ok after Glastonbury), Toots and Diva xx

    Well that's two of us up at rediculous o'clock then macpep! I woke up cos I was too hot, and can't get back to sleep, so got up. I've been up since around 5am. Happy Anniversary.

    Have opened a window, but someone has a bonfire going, and it stinks!!

    I'm off to see if my quiche has defrosted in a minute so that I can finish my packed lunch off, as I'm not sure where/if I'll be going on supply somewhere today, so need to be prepared in case.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Morning all

    Slept dreadfully due tot he heat so have got up to come down into the cool and have a cuppa.

    Just checked my online backing and my tax refund has been credited which is great and I had booked last night to take the kids to Alton Towers for a couple of days in August so that will be covered.

    Anybody know a good place to stop enroute for a few hours/picnic between Alton Towers and Hertfordshire for the way home? Thinking National trust/garden like place to get me over two days of theme parks.

    Just going to check the rest of the banking and then empty the DM
