    Positive vibes for OH's dads biopsy Cyclingyorkie, hope that it goes okay hon.xx

    Ok can someone please keep me away from Yankeedoodle - somehow I have just managed to order their French Vanilla starter set, a shade for their jars and a couple of other things. I must admit the set was a bargain not to miss and I have just paid off what I was due to pay off DH's CC. Trouble is I now owe another amount..lol

    Ok off to have a shower then got housework to do before my Psych assessment at 3pm :( My kitchen looks nice and sparkly though after it's impromptu shower...lol

    morning all

    we've been away for the weekend to see family and had a lovely time. Got home about 9pm last night then called at the inlaws for an hour to show them the photos & video we'd taken, need to unpack today. Came back with loads of baby stuff including a changing table :)

    I woke up pretty early today so nipped out for milk and now I've got my feet up. We have the week off which will be a combination of relaxation and holiday type days :)

    The bathroom needs a clean and the whole place needs a hoover at some point

    Did todays list yesterday, so will do the last few bits and then go on to the kitchen list.

    DD3 had a very exciting day yesterday. Her brownies pack had won a gardening competition and their designed set is at Hampton Court flower show. Some of them were invited to the press day yesterday and they all met Sophie Wessex. DD absolutely shattered this morning, but has still gone to school as she's desperate to share her news :rotfl:
    I need direction to perfection...
