Morning all

After a misty start we have sun peeping out. I've so far been to the post office and corner shop and put away my ocado shop.

Carpenters here so plan mainly to fly upstairs. These are the subbies and I know they realise I'm not happy with the actual windows which they had nothing to do with so I think they'll be staying way out of my way.

Morning all

Ds1 said his exam was easy. I hope it was as he was naughty and got chucked out of the higher group. :mad:

Talk to the school and see if there would be any benefit in entering him for the higher paper in Jan/June. Not sure what board they use but there maybe an opportunity.

Hugs to all those who need them. LL and Toots especially love to you two

Mum's been, fat chewed, am giving up on the lad who has been looking into my kitchen for me - am going to try ringing round and getting a few ideas from other places and independant kitchen suppliers/fitters.

Anyway, time to crack on.
Anyone up for a HHC @ 10:30?
