    Morning all. soappie come back and let us know when your DD is safely returned, I am worried although she probably just had a mega night out!

    She came back about half an hour ago have stopped at the house of one of her girl friends. She is VERY hungover!

    I had great delight switching on the Dyson and vacuuming the hallway just after she retired to her room :D

    3 loads of washing hung out.. I can't put any more in until OH has dragged the baskets downstairs as I can't manage it now..

    Got booking appointment for LGI through.. 2:30.. on Thursday.. so I'll have to ring and change that on Monday.. I pick chimps up at 3 so can only manage appts between 10:30 and maybe 12 at a push.. you watch them be as stupid there as they are here and only run clinics 2-4pm!

    I was supposed to be going to Ikea this week as well but I can't cope with that so OH will have to take DD1 Thursday or Friday..

    Change of plan.. :p.. I decided I wanted a bookcase which wouldn't fit in the car so I ordered the stuff I want online.. it cost more but WTH.. it is needed and so we will have it at least.. I can always take DD1 for a browse one day when the chimps are at school.. even if we wait until September!

    I have also just about completely rearranged 3 rooms and the landing .. in my head.. need OH's arms to do it for real..

    Morning all

    had a lovely date last night AND I'M SEEING HIM AGAIN TOMORROW...

    *snigger*

    and I *think* he's coming to the wedding as my +1; exH (note upgrade;)) has been informed when we're away (Budapest here we come!) and about the wedding in the hope that he'll have the kids ;)
    (we is me'n'theVallikids BTW)

    and exH has given me a small contribution to DS's prom expenses - I didn't *need* it as such BUT the CSA-agreed amount doesn't go far and why should I pay for all the extras by myself?

    Cleaning - done
    Living room
    all beds were stripped and changed
    Kitchen
    Bathroom

    The dining room has been reclassified as RoD though...still...

    (((Hugs))) on the toothy-peg Mrs C. Hope you're feeling better this morning; Nice to hear about your day Boddy, sounds like you had a pleasant time.
    Piggers your DD looked stunning...
