    Well, that's me for today, except for dinner dishes later, shattered. Will hoover all through upstairs once DS's room is tidy tomorrow and maybe catch up on bits and bobs over the weekend if O is working. I hope he isn't, I've not had any time to myself for as long as I can remember as he's either been working, sorting car stuff out or helping various friends moving house/decorate. I need him to go up in the ;loft for me and do a few bits in the house so it would be nice to have him home. He's going to be late again tonight, but might have a half day tomorrow, so might get a HH for myself, you never know...


    Kidlets to be decluttered to bed in half an hour, dinner to be cooked and cleared up, and then something mind numbing will be found on the telly. Night all.

    Out all day again tomorrow, then the hairdressers for me and DD....don't know what time we will be home so think most of this will get done on Saturday(will strip the main bed in the morning and get it in the wash and if time will look at finishing the bathroom and putting the hoover round....................xx
  • I'm all quilted out today :) I've done lots of cutting and sewing, and luckily DD loves it :T I have some more pieces cut that I'll sew together tomorrow morning, then I'm done until DD can spare me some tome to accompany me to Dunelm to buy some backing fabric :D

    The house is clean and tidy (downstairs at least ;) ). I've made pizza, doughballs, bread, parkin pigs, and Welsh cakes :T

    I'm waiting for the arrival of a friend and we'll be sharing a bottle of red :beer:
