    Hi Taxi! Congratulations on the safe arrival of your lovely new granddaughter and don't worry about the lazy days we all have them and they're so enjoyable at the time but why do we also feel guilty the next day?

    I've not been posting as nothing to report at the moment.I've been in the house most of the week but have quite a busy week ahead.
    I had a walk to the PO today to do the banking and get/post a couple of birthday cards....it felt like miles away.I really do need to get some exrcise done each day.
    Tomorrow I need to pack mine and JJs stuff for legoland,pick him up from school,feed and bathe him and make a picnic ready for saturday morning.Also need to remember to wash and dry his uniform as don't know what time we'll get back sunday night.
    Monday I have to be up early to get him sorted for school and then the dog wash van will be here...
    tuesday MH working coming and taxi in for MOT and servicing
    weds..am sure there's something but can't remember
    think I'll be tired next week..lol
