Morning all, up bright and early as I'm going on a canal boat with some friends today. Never been on one so am looking forward to the day. Although the weather has predicted heavy showers.
I have plugged in my new food cooler as I'm bringing a picnic. Awaiting coffee, then off to get properly ready.
May fling a load in the washing as I go past it.

Well I've just caught up with the emails, and have to have a shower and get dressed and fed still. Moon also found the email addresses of a couple of people we met on honeymoon, so I need to send them an email later too.
Need to do the meal planning and food shoppng today, and take back a long-life fruit juice that was off when I opened it. Other than that, it will be general flying around the house.
Hope everything is ok Valli - has something happened?
Good luck with the school stuff MrsChaos - I hope they manage to sort something out for you.
