    Great, I am still wearing purple, even managed to wear my lilac jacket when I was out, and found my lilac neckwarmer too ;). I did not know Diva well, but I remember her posts and her sense of 'life' was amazing. Hugs to anyone who is missing anyone....I wonder if tomorrow's list of chores should include hugging everyone you can ?

    Runs in ........

    Not sure who asked re cost of ironing board covers on the last thread, or whether they received an answer, but they're selling for the princely sum of £1.66 in Wilko's (I bought one before Christmas, it's an ironing board cover, it works!), or if you're splashing out I think they have some for £4.00.

    Runs off to whizz to Mr T's on the way home to start listy - may not be able to update later owing to mouse not moving as mousie should!

    today's list - all done!

    Purple worn.....

    I have lost one of DD2's bras. It WAS on the line yesterday. I remember taking it off the line and putting it in the basket.

    I left the basket for about 5 mins whilst I put 2 hoodies in my dri buddi in the garage.

    The bra has gone!!!!!!!!!

    Next doors cats were around ( they used to be reliable sock pinchers - they tried to get jeans off the line once!) - but I've asked and nothing has been dragged in!

    So if anyone sees a red (with white spots) La Senza bra flying down the road can they stop it please?

    It's a 36F by the way....

    the mood I am in I'd be more likely to bite people!

    Vacuum emptied.. big achievement as I couldn't undo the clips last week.
    Front room, back hallway and stairs vacuumed.. need to go to shop still.. :s

    I appear to have an insect bite on my upper lip which is adding to my agitation, it is so itchy!

    argh!!! I'm in a right old snit now.

    DS3 is duly chastised.. so he stomped up the stairs.. so I made him come back down and walk back up them quietly.. twice :p

    DD3 is picking up duplo in the back room..

    I feel the need to fill a wheelie bin.. but must go wake Freja first.. meeeeaaaan mummy!
