    Triker ~ thanks for the link, I like those! :j

    Mudders~ you have given me an idea, with all the lego he has, plus what I take this year, he can build his own hamster! :j

    AnWmum~ curly wurlies late at night are bad for you!!! :rotfl::rotfl:

    Had the lamp shades down this thing this morning, to wash and leave to dry, so I can put them back tonight, that is worth a whole days list to me!! :D took flipping ages to get them all down.

    Cat brought me a headless mouse this morning, that has been duly dispatched to the wheelie bin, and floor cleaned.

    Hugs all round

    Unfortunately I'm now absolutely shattered but DS1s off school, we've even had a sprinkle of snow (not sticky) so it's quite cold, got a mountain of washing to get through and other stuff so the plan is this so far!

    Try to get some of the clean stuff away - doesn't help that the rooms aren't switched round yet so not all can
    Pack and post phone :D £155 wohoo!
    Withdraw paypal money including refund which has come :) from awkward seller!
    Level one of list - not setting targets too high yet
    Chilli for tea ? Slow cooker depending when DP will want to eat!
