    Morning all,

    I've got up early to do car insurance quotes. Get my new car in 10 days:j. All that stuff in the news about gender equality was obviously right as it's gone up £60:cool:.

    Toots - I'm so sorry to read of your friend's passing. Have a hug please.

    I'm going to do HHI now before the little ones get up.

    Hope everyone has a good day.

    Hmmmm, I did lots of jobs last night, but havent made a great dent in my list... :/

    Oh well, my whites have been bleached white and my blacks dyed black which is something I have been meaning to get round to for aaaaaaaages! I have no dirty laundry and no ironing either! :D

    Anyway - I do have a treatment sachet for whitening nets and the only nets I have are in the hall (Well, voile panels...but potAto, potato) - which Piggers has instructed me to wash so they will be getting it next! :D
