    I didn't sleep too well - a bit restless. I need to get a shift on. Food shopping needs to be done desparately! i had to go to the corner shop for bread this morning. I also need to get all the washing done, as well as the lists.
    This morning i have emptied the bins (food bin soaking), put out the recycling, emptied the fridge of manky stuff (looks empty :(), picked up poo from the garden & taken the kids to school. I have checked my emails - had one from the lottery!! It wasn't me, BTW - it was just £2.50 :p

    In my HHC I put the washing away, made beds then vacuumed bedrooms & landing quickly before my hoover cut out. It seems to want to only work for about 20 mins then it dies and I have to wait another hour or so before switching it back on.... poor old thing.
