    Triker - hugs for you and evil vibes for the toads who did it

    Rach - baby stay put vibes for you

    Hedge sorted, been to town but that's about it apart from dinner.

    Did declutter a bag to the charity shop and the stuff for car booting has been put into the box in the loft.

  • Tea was off - it was my sense of smell that didn't pick it up but my taste buds did - meaning I had 4 dumplings for tea and 1/2 a box of after eight mints that I bought half price from Mr S - never mind emergency calls and at least I could taste the strong mint!

    rach - baby stay there vibes!

    triker - oh no! Is there any chance you could get it fixed cheaper without claiming?

    poohbear
    - we're not just fair weather friends on here you know! Love and hugs.

    Beautiful sunny day here today, so loads of washing done, and I have also cleaned the kitchen, so all the downstairs done now and all upstairs bar the kids' rooms which they are supposed to be doing tomorrow.

    This afternoon, I went shopping with DD for OH's birthday.

    Still haven't started the planning for next week, so there goes my resolution to do it before Sunday...
