Nothing like leaving it til the last minute! I'm now having a coffee while dd1 watches ben & holly - still waiting for dd2 to wake up (she is only 1 so this is very very unusual).
 Have a good weekend everyone, will post lists later x0

 Great to see you 
 This morning involves manic cleaning up and hopefully some packing as I've realised I need to do as much as possible before my manicure this afternoon. The freezers are almost bursting at the seams as I try to make sure there is no food lurking before i go.0

            Morning all,
 Ds2 is having a massive tantrum because i won't let him out in the garden to play yet. He's not the quietest of children and i don't want him waking the new neighbours. Although the noise he's making now is probably worse than if i'd let him out. :mad:
 I've put the wm on, fed the boys and fed the cat who thinks he lives here.
 HHC at 9.00 anyone? I want to get the bedrooms cleaned this morning. I need to go to the market and will take Ds2 out for a walk somewhere.
