    Evening all

    I'm posting today's list, because (just for once) I haven't done too bad with it. :D DH did the ironing and DS2 the hotspot (stairs). :T :A
    I made the fish pie base tonight (to use up the fish), which just needs to cool now, but the cake will have to wait until tomorrow. I went to the farm and got the eggs, though. I'm hoping it's the bathroom tomorrow - if not, I may have to swap things round, as I'm planning on going to work for a few hours.

    ah well diet blown (large amount of vino (well 2 glasses is a lot for me LOL) but it is my b'day

    Have re arranged the bedroom and moved the bed (did it a while ago and put bed under window but OH didn't like it -so back it went) wasnt too bad as there was no where near as much muck under it as last time :D

    Large washing pile to do tomorrow but going in to work for a bit, forecast this week not so good so I'll be popping across to get a few jobs done and out of the way

    Off to bed in a mo!!

    Night all and thanks for the b'day wishes- xxxxxx
    Go hopefully into each new day, enjoy something from every day no matter how small, you never know when it will be your last

    Visit to Mr T to get Polyfilla cost £50 :mad: It is stuff that is needed.
    Checked up on Parents, decluttered bag of old toner cartridges to school (been forgetting for over a year), dailies done, bathroom emulsioned & 2nd coat of gloss nearly finished. New mirror/shelf put up by DH whilst I took DS2 to his 1st school disco (Mirror looks damaged DH said it was like that but I suspect it wasn't). Hopefully bathroom should be finished tomorrow then probably need plan decorating Master Bedroom, kitchen & LR chimney wall.

    I have to wait in tomorrow for my freezer to be fixed. :cool:

    Hugs to those in need especially LL

    Bedtime now I think

    Night night xx
