  • Thanks Nikky, it's more like a winters tea to be honest but clean plates all round.:)

    Granny and brizzle, I still don't see any light at the end of the tunnel but it's all going in the right direction.:)

    Certainly hope so brizzle.:)

    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.

  • Carrying on from this morning, we've done loads of digging in the back garden trying to prepare shed base, we need to get rid of a load of soil......mmmm think, what can we do with it????

    Hello
    Our local recycling centre/tip has a soil/hardcore skip. There is a limit though - 1 car bootful a month, I think. We managed 2 bootfuls before they recognised us... and then took the 3rd and final bootful to another centre :rotfl:
