Missus Aka - that's one helpful; stepdad there...*rolls eyes*
thanks for the advice re the ST's - I have asked her to toll and use the wrapper (I mean - the wrappers there from the next one - hardly rocket science, is it?
Going to buy little nappy bags to wrap and tie them in.
Have made a Bread and Butter pudding with some whoopsied fruit bread so I shall have the company of DS for most of the day (mooching round like he's starved) DD is in too much pain to discuss it now.

Messaged DS's mate for whom I am selling a cricket bat as it's got a bid (woot) he's an apprentice and gets paid about £2.50 per hour so no doubt he's depserate for money.

Decluttered £1.50 for 3 new to me books on the market and DS2 bought himself a couple of toys with his own money. :T I bought milk, so I can have another cuppa now, and DS2 is happily munching a sausage roll. No idea what I'll have for lunch. Breakfast wasn't my usual healthy and filling cereal with lots of stuff added, so I'll have to find something.
Next: bring washing in (looks like rain again), get DS1 to bring his laundry down, put WM on. How can I still be so tired with all these late mornings?0 -
