I've got cousins who live in Huyton, and a friends DM and a friends DB

Anyway, off to bed now. I fathomed out the complexities of my online account and am quite chuffed with myself. I also discovered my browser isn't getting updates. Can't fathom out why, so it looks like an uninstall and download again. That can wait until next week.

Just finished a book which made me think of Hex. Dan Waddell. He has written 2 and they are both good. Genealogy, so set in present day, but the plot keeps going back in time. Also good if you're interested in genealogy. I learnt a lot.
Not usually my type of book - I like the present day thrillers set in England, Peter James, Mark Billingham, Stephen Booth, Peter Robinson amongst many others. I have too many books waiting to be read.

Night night all - catch you bright and early for another bout of ironing.

Morning All

Well I've been kept awake half of the night by the party they were having next door. It was alright while they were outside but they moved inside about 1 and finished about 4. Not sure what the plan is for today but I need to finish DD's room, she's still asleep at the moment though as they woke her up a couple of times. DS is up though so I'm going to start by putting his clothes away that I sorted into piles last night so he could get into bed.

Have a good day all

Hugs

Morning Jue and everyone else,
That is so annoying when people are noisy and you can't get your sleep.

I'm just having a coffee then I am going to attack the ironing.
DH is already up and sweeping the patio!

DD is now up so I'm going to do a HHC in her bedroom and see how far I get - probably not far. Although I'm going to start off by hoovering her drawers out and under her bed so I can start to put stuff away. It's a bit tough if next door are still in bed!
