we had 'walk to school' day today. since we live too far for that we parked at a park closish to school and walked - kids loved it!
then i stayed on to help in my son's class with their computer lesson - good fun!
then i helped a friend out who is car less today and had to do lots of running around with a toddler.
came home and hung up 2 loads of washing, another one in.
and i finally called the electricity company - since we moved they haven't billed us :eek: - apparently a glitch and we'll get the bills within the next 2 weeks :eek::eek:

sorted the kids clothes
dirty washing in laundry basket

Morning All
Great news piggers
I've forgotten everything else!
It's the Summer fair at the kids' school today so I must remember that I'm picking the kids up and not my mum and dad. Other than that I'm going to my parents' for tea so probably won't get anything else done tonight.
Going to get up now and put some washing on the line and put another load in.
Have a good day all
