    Think we'll have chippy (or I might get pizza) for tea while we watch Dr Who tonight. That'll keep the washing up down as there's loads of chunky things to wash still (ie crockpot from slowcooker, stock pan, breadmaker pan etc) which fill the drainer almost individually and will be a treat as I've cut out the chippy once a week so we haven't had it for a while ;)

    Off to get some cold crumble out the fridge :drool:

    Right! Half an hour on the lounge! If i don't report back you'll know i'm watching Time Team...:p

    Thats my downfall on a Saturday :rotfl: I love Time Team and get so distracted watching it I forget to do any work :o:rotfl:Mind you, watching TV is my downfall all the time, I put it on for company/noise and spot something and end up sitting down to watch it :o I'm not putting the TV on today (despite having loads of films I should be watching to free up space on the freeview box) until I've done 90% of the lists, the other 10% are things like changing beds which I'll do tomorrow on bath day ;)

    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    Yay! I did it! :j The lounge still needs another half hour spent on it though as i spent half the time clearing out a little shelf unit used to keep magazines, filing so it doesn't look like filing, used batteries, playing cards, dust and half a can of grout and tile sealer. :o

    I stuck my ipod on the stereo which is great except when it shuffles on to a track i hate. Why do i have music on my ipod that i don't like?

    Going to have some lunch now because i'm starving and then i shall think about what to do next. ;) Thanks for the kick Kazmeister!:T

    That's one frog completely gobbled, one still being chewed and I'm doing the next one before going out.
