Hi again! Thanks for all the welcomes.
Feeling good as Level 1 completed. The shredding took ages as it's been piling up for possibly a year and I had a file sort out a couple of months back. Got a full bin bag of shredding completed. Baby DS surprised me by actually finding watching me do it interesting. I even wiped down the shelf in the kitchen that the shredder and shredding lives on - woohoo!
Actually looking forward to tomorrow's list. It's good to know I'm not the only one out there.
BTW, can you use shredding for rabbit/guinea pig bedding? DD has been nagging for a small furry but we've told her maybe after our hols in August.0 -

Yep - I use it for my furries and know others do too. Rabbits (and I think Guinea pigs too) also need hay though as they eat it. With smaller rodents you can just use the shredded paper.
Off for my HHC - see you in half an hour ........."There's only one way of life and that's your own" - Levellers

I have ironed what's dry but am holding back on using the TD in case its nicer tomorrow
I have also washed up and dried and put away, apart from 3 things.\
I'm SO looking forward to getting a dishwasher - and a working oven. We've had the saddest looking toad in the hole - looked more like toads on a pankace if i'm honest

Having a lie down now everyone has gone before i do the clearing up... The babies were lovely, but at 9 months my nephew requires a lot or entertainment. My cousins's six month old and very chilled, so much easier to be around at the moment!0

Have been waddling along today lurching from one task to another and did a few bits yesterday. Missed the whole frog list thing so will have a think about house frogs tonight - have already got a work frog list which is more like a plague of frogs than a list!

It's been peeing down here all day... Only consolation is that I don't have to water, and the water butts might be a bit fuller by the time the sun does come back...
... Might check the weather forecast. I'm bored, but really do need to stay lying down for a while. DW has been loaded, but I still have food to sort out/put away. Cake all disappeared though...0
