    Sprog collected from school, typically he needs a dice to do some math homework and Ive already packed away all the board games... hes off upstairs now rummaging through boxes to locate a board game and said dice, meaning more repacking for me *rolleyes*

    Dining room chair deposited at neighbours to be mended so that dining room furniture can be listed on Ebay.

    Off to do homework now with teenytot
