    Afternoon all.

    Twins last week at primary school this week :(.

    Eight legged phobics avert eyes now!!

    The little boy from next door came over to play with the twins at the weekend and it would appear that he took it upon himself to liberate the tarantula from it's tank.
    I went in to check on the twins at midnight and spotted Salsa sat on a box in their room looking very pleased with herself!!!
    I managed to persuade her back into her tank with a bit of gentle shoving :).

    Hi, please can I come back? :o
    I've been away for a long time and really need to get back on top of things.
    I'm waiting for a new mattress to be delivered today which could come anytime between 11.30am and 8pm! :eek: I'm also waiting for a new chest of drawers but I've not been given a date for that yet, I'm glad I'm on holiday could be a long wait!
    We can't afford to go away so I've decided to decorate the girls room (if they ever sort their stuff out so I can get in there!) and try to sort out the house this summer, they won't be happy about it so I'll fit some day trips in hopefully ;)

    Afternoon all

    I've done today's list. One load of washing - just two things left on the line, the rest is folded and put away.

    I've spent a couple of hours in the garden and managed to fill up the green wheelie again before it gets emptied tomorrow.

    Hope everyone's OK.
  • Hi people
