    :rotfl:Nope, but hoping to break one out next weekend :D.

    Cooking done, except soup - stock cooling then I will go in and pull meat off carcass. Rock n roll Sunday night :rotfl:.

    Ironing done, except DS's jeans and bedding - cleaner can do them. Starting on paperwork at last :o, following dinner of chicken, cauli, spinach and Boulangere potatoes. Nom nom nom.






    Ate too much and feel a bit sick :o

    I think that sounds like a successful weekend Gally! I am determined to get to the bottom of the paperwork in my office this week, it looks like an explosion has taken place in a paper factory at the moment! Hopefully I'll find some fun vouchers :D
