    It is just too hot here today.

    Downstairs is finally all done for the week
    Beds are changed
    Towels are changed.

    I've not touched the rest of upstairs.

    Just doing DS1 some dinner and then I have one last window to bleach. Plan to get my blinds back up this weekend.

    Hi folks

    Pigpen~~ well done on the debt
    Toots~~ behave yourself all this lugging of sofas etc around HAS to stop NOW. Get your cleaner to do the heavy big stuff!!! consider yourself told...:D

    Been to a very hot London, the traffic around here for the Grand Prix is horrindeousssssssssssssssss,

    Been to Mrt's, do to my shopping with OH, we then spent half our time 'helping' 2 guys from a well know Grand Prix team, who had been sent there with a long list of stuff to buy for all the drivers, mechnics, etc etc of that team, but they couldn't read the lsit, let alone find the stuff, any way 3 trollies :eek: later, we had sorted them out and left them with a very bemused checkout girl!! it happens every year, men being sent shopping in strange supermarkets....

    Now trying to cool down and switch off from a very busy day.
