    Gunsandbanjos I'll join you, hopefully I'll get most of my list done other than the kitchen as the people sent to have a look at the conservatory roof are here.

    Morning ladies,

    I was up and out early as I had quite bit of shopping to do. I'm home now and need to put the shopping away which may take some time.

    Amazingly, the house doesn't look too bad from last weekends blitz. Maybe cos DH was away for most of it?

    I also want to some ironing and list a few bits on eb@y. I listed 9 things last week and they all sold. I messed up with the postage on some stuff though :o
    At least it sold! My carp is someone elses treasure :D

    Off to put the shopping away, and WM and DW on. Will report back later.

    Glad all went well AJ

    Not looking as bad now. Hubby just rang and is ready to go home, problem is his meds aren't ready. So sis is keeping Rhys and i'll head to hospital and hopefully we'll get home before the school run or lift them on the way back. ;)
