    Mmmm buttered toast sounds good.

    Pigpen - I'm probably wrong in my assumptions but do you want to go home by any chance?

    2nd wash on - girls still being incredibly polite. Awake but polite:rotfl:. All ready for bed and in sleeping bags in living room watching another DVD. Actually quite quiet apart from the odd giggle. Do I speak too soon? :)

    Soappie :pAnd. Love the picture of BB and Ginger

    Pigpen Are you going home today? :rotfl:

    I have emptied and refilled the WM and am contemplating emptying the DW. Then I'm going back to bed so I qualify for DH bringing me a mug of proper strength tea in bed when he gets up for work in 19 minutes!

    Morning

    Welcome chocolateteddy. Get this kids to join in, take the list and give them specific tasks and tell them this is the way it will be don e in future!

    Oh Pigpen, you''ll be home soon with all your things around you and will be able to eat cocopops when you like.

    Well I'm up and about early this morning as so much to do. Have already managed to get 2 loads of washing onto the line, another load in the machine and folded another lot from the dryer.

    Going to munch some brekkie in a min and grab another builders brew then see where to go next. Might be putting away the last bag of shopping from yesterday!

    Apparently its here till Tuesday, so sod the housework, get yourself outside walking/gardening and go for a run when it cools down (mind you, might be worth doing some washing while you know it will dry quickly on the line!)

    Off to drop off SIL's birthday present and cake (really not sure about it... I'll make sure she knows its an experiment and to let me know if its inedible!), then take my nephew to the farmers' market before heading home to potter in the house and garden for the afternoon.

    Morning all - looks like another sunny one!

    I have been out this morning and taken down the icicle lights still up from xmas:o, did it before 8am so noone around to watch lol.

    Lots to do so gonna do hhc x several.

    Am thinking kitchen while I make bacon & egg butties to start. Next lounge then bathroom then kids bedroom:eek:. Need to finish off the weeding I started yesterday too.

    Need to look at getting new padding and net for the trampoline too, though think getting a new one may be cheaper - how mad it that?!?

    Happy Sunday everyone
