    Love crafting... dont attempt to complete the full list as well as your other stuff.. it all comes round again next week.. mostly.. so it WILL get done eventually..

    Sequeena.. he is too cute..

    I cooked dinner... well... I threw food in the oven and then onto plates.

    OH swept and mopped the kitchen floor (I started and he took over :p) and he did the DW several times.. just got to introduce him to Henry and life will be almost sortedish! lol And he posted 3 ebay dollops and traipsed off for milk :D

    Which reminds me.. Henry is constipated so I need to sort his blockage!

    dd3 has had a bawling out for stashing half a pack of ham under her pillow ... dirty tramp!

    Tomorrow I need to sort a tesco delivery for next week sometime.. finish stuffing last bits in hospital bags.. needs juice, extra bits for me which were in the wash and hey can be thrown in the car out of the way.. Tiddles can have her car seat shoved along a notch as the baby seat has to go where hers in now so she will be placed between the 2 babies or she might fit in the back row.. we will need to check.. Camera to charge, memory stick to format.. should be sorted then..

    Off to construct a Tesco list and have a gander at Waerstones for CPs seeing a DS2 didnt use his gift card I will use it on his behalf.. :D I need red buttons x5 and about 1p size I think.. busy evening ahead :p

  • Good evening :D

    I have started nibbling at a frog - got car insurance quotes from MoneySupermarket. i can only be bothered to do that once a day, so i will do more tomorrow. I hate the fact that you have to chase the good prices, & then i will tell Direct Line, and they will lower the renewal anyway. Why can't they just give me the reasonable price in the first place without this yearly charade! :mad: At least i ponly have one car to insure now :j

    Dinner has been eaten, DW loaded & on. washing brought in & finished off in TD. I have ordered a new battery charger for DD2's camera (she will find hers now - sods law!) & some blank ink for the printer from Amazon. DD2 has started her photography A level today, so she needs her camera. Luckily any digital camera will do (at least for starters), so thats a relief! :)

    Mrs B - yes, thank you she did. And she has paid this week's aswell :T I handed her the invoice last week and she paid (via the internet) within an hour :)

    OK. Do I do work on the lappy, or check my zoo? :p

    Tonight's Tadpoles:
    Form in addressed envelope to post office tomorrow for guaranteed delivery Wed.
    Doctor Who stuff herded for collection by fanboy's dad tomorrow.

    Tonight's Toad:
    It appears there is 3 days worth of washing up in the kitchen.



    And Froddington, I'd like to see the furries photos as well. Saw a grumpy guinea pig and 2 very cute furries yesterday on the Dudley Zoo stall at the Bumble Hole Canal event.

    Once I got going it wasn't too painful. HH decluttering completed in LR, :j ably assisted by these two gentlemen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywQutN0j33o

    Thanks, froddy and Mrs B, as I'd have given in to myself without our little agreement.

    Time for a cuppa, some more music and school stuff now. The bath will have to wait until tomorrow, though, and I'll stick the towels in the wash after I'm done. If I have a bath now I won't get anything else done tonight. :o
