Morning all
robberbutton - The nearest location for the roadshow for us is 1 1/2 hours drive away. I don't really want to set off early, have a busy day and drive back, but may have no choice. The train wouldn't get us there early enough and I had a look at hotels for staying over - :eek: at the cost. Could you make it to Northampton or one of the locations on the south coast? I may even drag DS1 along for company, take a picknick and have a really MSE day.
Sunday plans in the land of chaos:
DW
WM x ? (lots, anyway)
TD if necessary
change bedding x2
bake shortbread and maybe something else
make tea
iron clothes for tomorrow
S&S kitchen and bathroom
read with DS2
buy new handbag for work with some vouchers
call at Mr M's for some meat
update diary and calendar
WORK
I also want to take DS2 out this morning - a local water mill has a milling day as part of a heritage weekend. I'll buy some of their musli for marchio's musli bar recipe and DS2 can see the mill in action. Last time we went it was open, but quiet. I doubt DH will come, as the world would end if he wasn't at the club by noon.
OK, none of the above will happen unless I move from the sofa. Have a lovely Sunday, everyone. xxx0 -
quillion - sorry to hear your news, do keep posting
I have just written a bunch of thank you cards
so that's one thing off my list (which must be way back in the thread somewhere!). Am showered and dressed and ready for church. Catching the bus there as it's right outside and drops me right outside, but have been offered a lift home which is good as it's too far to hobble to the bus stop coming home! I am going to quickly strip my bed before I go and DH will stick the WM on when he gets up. Must fold the big pile of baby washing that's on the baby's room sofa later too. We are going to do a roast tonight, though I will be sitting instructing! Trying to empty the freezer a bit so we can fill with some easy meals. Hopefully DH will do some dysoning this morning whilst i'm out, he usually does. Mum to gorgeous baby boy born Sept 2010:j0 -

Morning ladies
Bright and sunny here which is a shame that I did all the washing yesterday and had to use the TD!
Have only this morning folded clothes from TD and had breakfast. Going to have a soak in the bath - my Sunday morning treat then shopping. Have loads of bits to get in different places today so might take a while.
