    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. And, just to add to the people I feed if they're here - our Jynx has only gone and found a black cat and brought him/her in for brunch *sigh*

    I just took mine up too.. Squeak is down for a nap though so not used it yet..

    I brought 3 binbags of carpet/cardboard down and a huge pile of cardboard too.. and hung up some washing..

    I am going moving beds and chests of drawers when I have eaten.. and there is a large mirror to go up too.

    Happy Birthday SQUEAK - how can a six month old baby (seems like) be one? also Goodintentions Godmother who is an icredible 101 years older than squeak.

    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.

    And I have written some thank you cards for the kiddies at school.

    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? :o

    Oooh. aj what are you up to at the tattoo? We're going next weekend.

    Lots, I am one of the ones in the white helmets! We were on tv on Tonight's the Night last Saturday too.

    Off to price up house insurance and look into utility companies for the new house and then I can cross another few things off my list.
