Did a HHC this morning before I had chance to log on so the living room is a bit better than it was and I stayed up late sorting the kitchen so that looks half decent too.

Need to make a birthday cake for DH as it is his birthday today and pop to the shops for bread, milk, etc.

Will do a bit more later on when I've got the cake cooling.

ETA: Those muesli bars sound good Marchio...have bookmarked the recipe for another day.

Cleared the breakfast dishes and set off the DW
Stripped the Master Bed put sheets in WM and remade bed
15 mins floordrobe clearance (still some way to go here:o)

Morning all

fun and frolics in Valliland last night...
went to put the recycling box out, as I am putting it down old cat shoots past me up the garden hotly pursued by small black dog!.
Follow them up, shout at dog to 'come here' he did - was one of those waggy dogs, think he was a black westie, anyhoo, copped hold of collar and persuaded him back towards the road expecting a sheepish owner to be around - but no sign. NDN came out and looked - he didn't recognise the dog (he has a lab of his own so might have seen this one being walked IYSWIM). Waited a few minutes; no-one about, hauled very excited dog into house where it promply ate the cat food *roll eyes) and got DS to help me read tag. Phoned up number on tag - frantic owner looking for dog promised to come round pronto - so carried dog and held him in arms until they appeared as the kitties were driving him mad!

Mummyof5 and mumto5 (((hugs)))

School trip (and coach for same) booked!
