    Morning All

    2 weeks holiday now so hopefully I'll manage to get the house sorted as well as do some stuff with the kids. Spent the weekend at a Beaver sleepover so arrived back home yesterday absolutely shattered - not sure why they call it a sleepover when not a a lot of sleeping is done! Yesterday was also DH's birthday.

    So far today I've
    Watched Martin on Daybreak
    Fetched washing in off line
    Emptied WM and put more washing on the line
    Put DS's sleeping bag in the WM

    I'm going to have a quick catch up on the end of last week's thread and then make a start.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Jue

    piggers you've had your spiders out again haven't you :D DH has said he will clear dining room table (mostly his carp) But the kitchen is all mine :eek:

    Shortly off to collect my car. Been without for 3 weeks. Amazing how much I haven't spent in that time. And how isolated it feels.

    Welcome to the thread, ellawaude. You've probably seen the first two posts with all the basic info. The support here really is fantastic.

    Anyone for a HHC at 9.15? I need to find some tracky bottoms and a top first - can't use the back door at the moment to peg the washing out, so I'll have to walk around the front. I'll be focussing on laundry and kitchen.
