Thanks Triker - I know now how many I should have. Vague plan to double up for toy vouchers next week once I find them!

Sounds like lots of people in need of hugs - msgnomey, lil me, and ajmoney spring to mind but I am sure there were others. Heads a shed tonight I am afraid.

As usual work got grim and I have done nothing but WM/TD/DW since Tuesday. I must hoover tonight if nothing else.

After 2 HHC's we are winning - stopped for a pizza/milk or coffee break!

Make bed - towels!
Fix curtain that I've pulled off the hooks
Downstairs bathroom - make space in cupboard
Upstairs bathroom - scrub shower walls, deal with showerhead (think it needs vinegar onto it)
Whizz hoover about

S'pose I should add prep dinner & make it. Planning alone will not help gruimpy men when they arrive after driving through the deluges!

Don't seem to have stopped today! A few things crossed off.
Have dropped DH and a colleague at another colleagues and they have gone to a rugby corporate bash game thing. he can't stand rugby!
Sooo, I'm home alone. Have shut all the windows properly and will put the tv on so the cats aren't bothered by the fireworks. Peeing down tho, so maybe it won't happen tonight?
I should get the iron out, but CBA

Have a lovely evening whatever you are doing. Personally I hate bonfire night!

Then we went out for dinner.. and I bought more wool for my stash.. .. As we have no children this weekend I AM going to sort everyones presents into heaps so I can judge where I need to spend next.. I can spread it all out in the girls room as there is most room in there.
