    Just remembered need to ask mum to have DS on saturday, as OH and I are off to see Mark Thomas doing stand up and I didnt hink he would be back from his dads til Sunday. Oh well the best laid plans...

    Head is in its usual shed like state so hugs and congratulations as needed, and hello to the newbies. Fingers crossed for SSL.

    TD is on. Bin day tomorrow so I need to get my little helpers to empty the rest of the bins, me to clean the litter tray and do a bin dance so that everything will fit in. Yet more ironing to do as the DR still resembles a laundry.

    I think I need to go back to basics and put some routines back in :think:
