Afternoon all
Bathroom/toilet cleaned, no study but I cleaned the computer desk earlier in the week. Not enough washing for a load today.
The new house insurance came today. Changed that and saved over £100. Doesn't feel like saving when you've still got to spend out, but you know what I mean.
No sun today:(
Off to catch up now.
Hope work is going well shysarah

Hi everyoneIggy (my cat) has woken up and is alert, the vet thinks he will def pull through now, but will need to stay in for at least another 24hours. She also said she needed to do another set of blood tests today to see if there is any long term damage (but there won't be, will there
)
I am very, very happy about this as you an imagine
Flying wise, my dog has been groomed and his fur now looks a bit like a cows fur (I use a pet shaver, he is a King Charles Spaniel with long hair.....but not now!). He looks so cute after I have shaved him (and a lot smaller!). I am now going to do a quick hoover and tidy, then go for a run xBe the change you want to see in the world - Gandhi

oh joy
I have already been to school to collect DD - we've had HM soup ~ nyom
and DS and his mate, who arer allowed to leave school during study periods have rolled up with cheeseburgers, curry sauce and chips and sugary energy drinks
on the plus side, they have got plates out to eat off and glasses out to eat from - my elegant living is obviously rubbing off on him!
