    Triker - well done on your frog - mine is a garden job (a big one) and I'm chewing away at it today.

    Just having a break as it has turned really hot so I'll bring in wash 2 and put out wash 3.

    DH went to the library with DS3 on there bikes to collect a book for DS1's AS Lit exam next week so that's another job done.

    Not caught up with thread so appologise.

    Just had to share, I have received £30 cashback for staying with same supplier after gas & elec tarif ended. I did it through a comparison site and just chose the deal I wanted. I wasn't sure if they would pay up or not. :)

    2 wm done, DS1 has stripped his bed & picked up mountains of tissues down the side of it, just off to do tea then we are having bonfire night.

    Wild wind and rain? Goodness, it's been ages since we had that! I'd like a bit of rain really cos the vegs really need it now and even DH's huge rainwater collector is starting to run out.

    Just got a few more things to do now:
    Bath kids
    Order pizza
    Ironing
    [STRIKE]Menu plan[/STRIKE]

    Looking good for another quiet evening :T

    aj We've got the wild wind and rain too. Glad I didn't plant out the veg plants today - I think I'd have lost all of them already.

    Oz just walked in soaking wet and jumped on the sofa. 33kg of soaking wet hound. Joy:rotfl:

    Had a nice lie in this morning as I hadnt slept well the night before.

    Did the dailies then went for a walk through the park. Thought of Mum as she loved it there. Got on with my list when I came back.

    Trying to get a bit of weight off as I need to buy something new for a garden party. The Duchess of Northumberland is holding it as a thank you to volunteers and carers. Im really chuffed to get a invite.

    Hugs and spoons for Toots. Lady L and Lamewolf.
