I've quoted from the first post, too - you don;t have to chat - it's in the rules It's more important to Fly than to chat

I'll join your HHC :j

Hope everyone's well, but hugs to anyone who really needs one today.

I've stripped our bed, started tidying our room, washing on the line, and DD made me a coffee :beer: How did you get on? Want to continue for another 30 :j

Dirty washing gathered up from the boys room, Wm and td both on, boys beds stripped, clean clothes folded and put away and dw nearly finished. Fire lit this morning so i'll get hubby to bring in more sticks and he's left the black bins down as well.

I think i'll spent a good half hour in the utility room and shuffle some things about..

Have just lent our phone to neighbour to ring BT because his phone isn't working! The audiocommentary as he pressed various buttons was hilarious - you could write a sitcom out of it!

Needless to say he was not impressed - he just wants them to sort out his phone line!

DS's work uniform drying on a radiator - it keeps trying to rain outside and the weather forecast has mentioned the s word for this weekend!

I love Fridays when I haven't got errands to run, or books to put out/collect

I just need to iron my clothes for today, they're drying on the radiator ATM, and have my bath before work this afternoon. Think I'll have a chippy lunch as I'm craving chippy gravy But I'll only buy a small kids meal instead so its cheaper & healthier

Right, off to see if my jeans are dry yet, I hope so! :rotfl::wave:
