    Morning All

    Happy 40th Birthday Froddy - hope you have a wonderful day!

    I've not got anything planned for today yet although I have got 2 application forms to write at some point. So I'm hoping to spend today getting quite a bit done around the house - the first load of washing is in so that's a start but I don't know whether I'll manage to get anything on the line.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Don't know what I'll get done today, had another really bad night, probably due to the news about XH and the problems with BF so I'm tired and ratty. I have to drop DD1 and my dad to her work placement/his club as she volunteered to help at their sponsored walk, it's sports day at her school but she's not in any of it so decided to do this instead.
    I also have the Dr this morning with my friend, then I'm going for coffee with her and her husband - I'll probably need it!!
    I've been trying to find something online that will tell me what sort of sentences Crown Court give out, does anyone have any idea??

    Morning lovelies! :wave:

    Happy 40th Birthday, Frodster :bdaycake:xx
    KazStuff out for bin men, had a notice from council well we all did round here, they are changing the bins yet again, to include a food waste caddy thing, and not going to collect green waste such as grass cuttings etc unless you pay for that service!

    Oh dear! There's one good thing about living in a 'less desireable area' shall we call it, ****hole to most of us :D is that they wouldn't dare mess with the bin situation.....they'd be clearing it up from any waste ground forever lol

    It's raining - again. Just brought the washing in that I put out last night and it'll be left in a slump till I get in from work. Started going through stuff ready to pack, one large box of non-essential books has already been done, better be careful as I'm known for packing knives and forks weeks before a move :rotfl:Still, LR is looking nice and empty-ish now just need to get rid of these awful settees.

    Work today, then taking littley over to see her cousin who's visiting. Need to do the bathroom, hoover through, sort DW out (it stopped working midway through a cycle) make tea, small food shop for mushrooms and chicken pieces to go with some rather delicious curry sauce a friend made (she made too much)

    Toots I saw you sneak in there, hope you're doing ok, lovely xx

    Laters dudettes xx

    Good morning :D

    After waking up early & then falling back to sleep, I have managed to get up, do all the bins & recycling, wash out the food bin, clean out the rabbit, sweep the kitchen & have breakfast :)

    Just waiting for little Miss Sunshine to arrive. I may get her to jump on DS & DD2, who are still asleep in the LR :D

    Ok - I need to put some washing on - as soon as I have finished my tea!

    ETA HAPPY BIRTHDAY FRODDINGTON!!! :beer:
