Evening. Today I have done washing, washing up, cleaned out both sets of furries, vacuumed front room, had people round to look at and find out about furries, been to the cinema, taken bags to charity shop, sorted another pile of school paperwork (only one left now!), posted stuff and cleaned the bathroom!

Won't get much done tomorrow though as I'm off to London to see 'Pointless' being recorded

Will update list in a bit .........

juliejim - brilliant news!

Such sad news about Chris - an inspirational man

pigpen - grrrrrrr for KH and OH!

Meggie would appreciate thoughts and prayers please - she has gone back into hospital and is on antibiotics

Hugs and prayers for all xx

Well, that was a busy one.

Minion actually ended up having an echocardiogram rather than an ecg. They'd made a mistake on the referral letter. In any case, she was scanned by a lovely man who put her at ease and said that everything was perfect. :j:

That done, we came back and then were off to the cinema. Everyone got there bang on time, the tickets were on special rates and they loved the film - X Men First Class.

I now have lots of cooking to do tomorrow and the party starts at 3.

Hope she likes her gothy T-shirts, trainers and aquarium

Good morning everyone :beer: DD stayed out in Leeds last night :eek: then is in college today to set up for her end of year show. DH has gone to work and DS is still in bed

I've been for a wander round the garden and planned today's outside jobs. I'm going to do the kitchen, then iron, then eat the biggest fattest frog you ever did see

Yesterday was good - DD passed her driving theory test, firrst time :j:j:j so we have to see if we can get her through the practical before she goes off to uni in September

I joined DH and some friends in the pub last night, and with my help they won the quiz for the first time in ages I think I might get invited again, especially as I was the only one to know the answer to a question about crochet :rotfl::rotfl:

HHC 07:30 -08:00; HHI 08:00 - 08:30; HHpaperwork Frog 08:30 - 09:00. Join me if you can
