    Debt-free and Proud!
    Just wanted to offer my congratulations to pigpen and family on the new addition (no longer a perpetual lurker - first post in weeks:rotfl:).

    It's a good job you are not doing a declutter or it would look something like this

    IN
    1 x baby

    OUT
    Dirty nappies
    sleep
    :rotfl:

    Serious a heartfelt welcome to the world baby x:T

    Morning Everybody

    MSE confusing me today but it doesnt take much :) Anyway we appear to be still here so I will do my list. Working today so less time for flying but sadly someone came into my kitchen after my dinner party last night and dropped a few grenades :rotfl: so something needs to happen

    DW empty and reload
    Wash up the glasses/trays etc that dont go in DW
    Clean dining room table
    Hoover down
    Empty bins
    General clean of kitchen
    Finally finish the ironing

    That will do for now in case mse has gone off and I lose this :o

    Morning all

    Took Woody to the vet this morning as he's not eaten hardly at all this week. Vet can't see much reason, thinks it's just a virus. I feel it's money I didn't need to spend but for peace of mind, with us going away it made sense. Toilet rolls were on BOGOF in the co-op opposite so stocked up on 36 rolls and saved a bit of cash there.

    Plan:
    Pop to corner shop
    HHG
    Clean bathroom and shower
    Take DS3 to tennis
    Go and get some outdoor paint
    Cricket run
    HHP

    Best make a start.

    Onestep - hope your arm is less painful soon
    G&B hope your LO gets on ok today
    The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair
