    And then I called the council about discount leisure centre cards there, I didnt know the status and should have sent them a letter but forgot some time ago. But thats all sorted too.

    then I'll get the steamer out and look at the kitchen again. Freezer doesnt need doing but I'll look at the meal plan, good idea :)

    Wiltshire huskies is looking for volunteers for "meet the huskies" beginning of next month. I'm trying to decide if it'll be too hot for our babies. (And if MiL will look after the beagle monster) Never done anything like that before, but I feel like I should do - Any of you guys ever done any fund-raising thing like that? I'm not sure I could talk to people :o, but then again the dogs are my fave subject :rotfl::rotfl: (you might have noticed :rotfl:)
