    Morning.

    I'm off to Wolves later to see Terrorvision, then staying over and getting off to Scarborough early to go to a funeral. Then possibly going to London on Tuesday if sister can get some more flat viewings.

    Morning all

    Everyone sounds very industrious today.

    I've been to town and got the basics in for the week - trying to run down the freezer to defrost it so plenty of "freezer surprise" meals this week. Picked up some school trousers for DD2, well actually they're womans ones that are £3 a pair cheaper than the ones in the school section...a bit long in the leg but I can soon remedy that.

    Also brought some paint and new sanding sheets, I've got a lovely pine book shelf that's got that horrid orange pine varnish on...going to strip it back, paint the sides and wax the pine....don't think I'll start it today though.

    Off to watch an open air film tonight - meeting some friends and their kids so should be a fun evening - taking flasks of hot choccy and a box of biscuits - how rock and roll. :D

    Ames that's quite weird tbh....let's go to a gig and take tea and biscuits lol.
    Woke up about a million times during the night, but have managed to jog, do shred, tidy flat and be human hoover in the past two hours....And I've had a shower and am contemplating my next move...

    Yes, but at a fetish party I went to there were a couple who turned up in their best M&S 1970's polyester. Only one couple mind.

    Tell me about it! Whoever designed the traffic system around the new bus station needs shooting! :mad: And London Road's always a nightmare. Plus you need to bring something to read if you get stuck at the Windsor Bridge traffic lights, you'll be there that long. :D Remind me why I live there again? :rotfl:
