Kitchen is MUCH tidier - pots almost all washed and some already dried and put away - last few soaking and stuff rehomed as appropriate.

I have done some serious mucking out today so I've been a good girl.

Oh Piggers - what time were you planning on doing the new thread so I can time my dinner around it?

What time are you after?

It isn't like I'm off partying ..

soappie

Would about 9pm be OK? That way I can interact with my kids without having to nip off and check every few minutes

pigpen

yeah 9 is fine. I've had a 2 hour snooze so should still be awake then lol

soappie

Lovely, thanks Piggers

Short bird~# yes a lot les to up pack, but took loads of money, with the same stuff plus a bit more from flinging.

Pigpen~~ hope you are healing well, and squeaks is doing well

LW~~ glad to hear Penny is settling in well.

I have the most bizzare picture in my mind of Soappie interreacting with her kids.................

My face is now even pinker, I am not happy about it, they never forecasted for MK to be so hot today, if they had I would have taken my floppy hat..............

Bol sauce is cooked, just got to do spagetti, but OH is STILL sleeping, at this rate he will get up and go straight back to work, I think I'll give him till 5.30pm and then wake him, last night tonight thank goodness, then he gets a week off to make up for it all.

Been shopping...
