    BTW....was the washing up bowl for camping?
    Yup :)

    We recently treated ourselves to a trailer tent which we are planning on giving it's first outing later this month, so I'm expanding my camping gear to make it easier.

    morning all.

    Vaguely woke when OH got back from Manchester (would guess around 1am ish) and then as I woke from a head cold groggy sleep he was just off again to watch the sunday league team football he is some kind of coach type person for. So alone for the day again.

    Waiting for the washing machine to stop, hang out the clothes and then go and see Charlie which will be lovely :D

    Still got the flippin cold then? Hope you start feeling better soon.

    I've told you before about that washing machine, it'll stand still perfectly OK on its own:p
    :D:D stay wonky :D:D

    ....one-way ticket to Portugal booked !

    Took us years and years to get around to buying a washing up bowl for our camping gear. Usual kit check is
    BBQ and charcoal
    Gas stove
    Corkscrew
    Sharp knife
    Lighter

    everything else is just luxuries.

    afternoon!!

    just passing by, hope everyone is well today - sorry to hear about your imminent cold Pooky, I hope it passes quickly.

    Had much needed "grown-up" time last night, DD was away at her mates so we did nothing more than drink wine while watching tv! nice!

    Today so far we've blitzed the bathroom, kitchen and living room. I baked some buns and made some tablet for snacks this week, OH is busy making banana bread.
    As we are going to my parents for dinner (nice!) I'm off now to make some coleslaw and potato salad rather than buy it.

    Feel rather like I've achieve stuff today already!!
