    Morning lovelies :wave:

    Im in again this week, thanks to all at FCC.

    Had a lovely day out yesterday with the kids. Decided to go to Weston Super Mare for fish and chips by the sea. Only 1 slight problem though our lovely satnav decided to take us to Bathampton instead :laugh: So after purchasing a map I managed to navigate us to where we were supposed to be going. Only took us 3 hours 20 mins to do an hour and half journey lol. Ah well the scenery was lovely haha.

    Going to declutter a coffee whilst writing a shopping list. Need to get to the shops and get some food in the cupboards, then I will get stuck into todays list before I go to work at 3.

    Hugs, spoons, sticks, healing vibes to all

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Living room eh....didn't expect that! OK, I'm having a slow start headachey morning, but facing the living room , hall and stairs is less intimidating than kitchen. I might have a race around upstairs too. Just to cheer it up.

    Morning all

    esio I hope the move goes well, look forward to hearing all about your new place.

    Well school run done and DW on, now to try and get loads done round here today. Lounge is a bomb site but so is everywhere else!

    Need to go and get some food as well as we have nothing fresh in at all and no juice. Ebay sale to post on way, deisel to get and recycling to drop off. I also need to flesh out 3 or 4 ebay listings including pictures.

    Got a blind to put up for Miss A but will need Dad's help for that and then there is just her voile curtains to hang and her bedroom is done. Well done apart for clearing up :eek: there is stuff all over which is in the process of being sorted hence the extension of CHAOS elsewhere.

    Hey ho it's a lovely day and the daffs are out :D
