    Hi everyone,
    After a terrible night's sleep and DS1 not wanting to go to school this morning I have done hardly anything so far today. 2 loads in the WM and tumble dried the pillows I washed for OH to take away with him, S&S of kitchen and living room and a trip to the market for some veg for the week. OH is away for the weekend though, so going to catch up with fred while DS1 eats his lunch, feed the baby and then do the LR, the rest can be done over the weekend.

    Im afraid the 1:30 HHC was cancelled due to the fact that I called into the chinese/chip shop on the way from work and got curry rice and chips(ooops!!)...so just eaten (most of)those and going to watch Monk now. DD going to homework club after school so I have got an extra hour. Will do bits during the adverts as well and see how much I can get done...xx
