    Ha, well at least I don't have the nappies to contend with...:rotfl:

    He and DD1 were speaking to the police again today, hopefully there is some cctv to look at. It'll take some time, DD1 has cancelled work today so she's looking after him.

    Me and hopalong (DD2) have just stayed in.:D

    I'd better think of food.

    BTW congrats to Jojo, fantastic win.:T

    huge hugs for Vanilla
    Also for you and yours Triker
    Jinky - good to see you, Mrs B was asking where you had gone from Facebook, hope all is ok with you and yours


    JoJo - congrats, I had some of those when I changed job. I think even Homebase take them, but our local big chain garden centre took them, and they sell plastic hen houses and everything. And some of the nicest bread, cheese and meat we can get locally. Have a look here http://www.thegardencentregroup.co.uk/garden-centres/find/

    Phew!

    Today I have
    thoroughly cleaned and tidied bathroom
    ditto study (including wiping the wheels on both chairs)
    ditto LR (moved the furniture and everything)
    ditto bedroom (well finished it off-started it yesterday)
    ditto kitchen (cleaned out and rearranged the food cupboards yesterday)
    cleaned the windows inside and outside (have to do that while OH is out as he panics seeing me 'hanging out' of the windows to clean them!!)

    now I am just waiting for OH to get home so I can feed him!!

    and then I am collapsing into bed in a heap as I am shattered!!!(house looks nice tho')
    Go hopefully into each new day, enjoy something from every day no matter how small, you never know when it will be your last

    I have been out shopping but not managed to put it all away. Pure laziness. My legs hurt, which I am pretty sure is down to lack or exercise. I'm back in lovely hospital support stockings and contemplating an Epsom salt bath.

    Need to get the kitchen and sitting room sorted out before my dad arrives tomorrow.

    Tumble drier now works, amazing what cleaning the condenser can do :o bad me! Much of the packing done I need to add towels, briefcase (which includes study books etc) alcohol (bottles wrapped in towels) frozen and chilled food then we are done I think. Done some last minute shopping including bits for the party while we are away (2 small people's birthdays) garden will be even longer when I get back as weathers been too bad to cut the lawn again. Off to pack some more and tidy up a bit more while DS1 finishes watching Harry Potter
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Evening all!

    Back from lovely Norfolk this afternoon. We stopped in town for bread and milk and since getting back I've decluttered a nap, several cups of tea, some food and lots of e-mails. Time for bed now, and I'll make a start on this mess tomorrow. :D

    I don't think I'll manage to catch up on everyone's news, but will keep up from now on. x
