I just couldn't stop last night! After tea I decided the oven needed cleaning, I'd found an oven cleaning kit (where you put the racks in a bag etc) so sorted the racks out and put some stuff on the bottom on the oven...........and OH did the rest this afternoon, it was all sorted by the time I came home fromwork.......wonder what he's after.;):rotfl:
We've received the shower timer and brushing your teeth timer I requested in the post today.:)
Hair cuts all round today, DS2 sports club paid, BIL present ordered and I put £20 petrol in the car. A bit of a major spend day, but getting it all out of the way in one go.
