    Morning All

    I think I'm going to make a start on DS's BR and put his clothes away whilst having a sort through them at the same time. First job though is to put the washing on the line so I can put another load in.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Morning all

    It's lovely and sunny here which is great as it is our Street Party this evening. I've been tasked with organising it this year so hope I haven't forgotten anything major. Neighbours (street is 50 houses) should be out from mid morning to start the set up.

    Plan:
    Put towels on the line
    Finish the ironing
    Hoover and mop downstairs
    cook sausages/meatballs
    water veg patch
    Tie up tomatoes

    DH
    Take to squash
    Take to cricket
    buy more wasp nest destroyer
    destroy wasp nest
    Take ladders up to put balloons up
    Collect from squash

    For party
    drinks and glasses
    chairs
    food
    cut up pudding
    insect repellant
    The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair

    Good morning.

    Cat fed before DB and SIL get up otherwise he wont come in. Had words with a man last night who let his dog chase the cat. Luckily I saw him let the dog in the front. He said the dog was chasing its toy :mad:. Threatened him with the police.

    Just decluttering a cuppa then will get up. Not sure what we are doing today.

    Toots Thanks.
    Dusty Enjoy your street party.

    DS's room is a WIP - he'd used the back of his bookcase as a bin so he's filled half a binbag with rubbish when I've pulled his bookcase out. Just sorting out his books and getting rid of some of them. Better get back to it.
