            Good afternoon 
 I have been to art this morning (first time in a month) and I even did a little bit of painting!
 Back home now. had lunch, DH is mowing & need to do something! i need to go to town to post a parcel & a letter, and drop a form into the bank (maybe pay some art money in aswell, while i am there) i also need to get DS some trainers 7 a PE bag, but i will do that at Sports direct (not intown) as it is cheaper 
 DD2 surfaced at gone 12.30!! Apparently she had a bit of a tummy ache in the night, and ended up curling up on the bathroom floor for a while. It has solved the mystery of the 'nest' we found this morning We thought the cat had pulled down all the towels!! We thought the cat had pulled down all the towels!!
 Ok, i am putting some washing on now & then heading to town. DH wants us ALL to take the dog out (inc MIL), so he needs my car for that (dog not allowed in his car!)0

            Hex that so made me laugh, love the dust bunnies term. Nothing quite matches the sound of a screaming bunny!
 My bed stripped and in the washer, I'm now thinking the White sheets aren't such a good idea, my DP is a mucky pup (can't be from me ) there is specks of what looks like chocolate on the duvet cover. Might have to invest in light brown linen if this doesnt come clean or I damage it as I've put it on a hot wash then remembered it has a delicate fabric black piece on it, oops! Wonder if I have some colour rescue sheets with me... ) there is specks of what looks like chocolate on the duvet cover.

            Hi ladies - we've had a fun day with our doggy visitor, who is currently being walked excitedly by DS (and a not so excited DH - :rotfl:).
 Just clearing up from a late lunch, and then a HHI or 2, hopefully I can find some inspiration on i-player.
 Then once visitor goes home I'm waging war on dustbunnies, we have one room that grows them, and they're beginning to take over. Line has been drawn in the dust...:rotfl:
 MoamAlthough no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.
