Having a :coffee: (well a second :coffee: if I'm honest) then going to do the kitchen. Got a goody bag from an opticains - got it home to find 1 advert, 1 pen and 1 specatcle cloth - so quite useful *rolls eyes*

    :wave:Ello everyone

    DS has come home from Uni for the weekend :D

    So that's the 1st load of washing draped on radiators; 2nd load now washing; and 3rd and 4th loads waiting patiently for their turn :)

    I've also watered all the bedding plants that the gardening fairy planted this week, as a few of them were looking quite sad. We seem to get a lot of low grey cloud, but no rain??? Sun is shining today woop woop :T

    Right, next I'm going to feed Harry Spadge and his mates as they are giving me black looks through the window

    Enjoy your afternoon all xxx

    Hob is clean. Second load of washing is in, first load is in the TD. Eggs and veg bought. Lots more tidying to do before I can clean properly but I don't really feel like it...

    Inspired by pollybear I scrubbed the shower out properly rather than just spray and wipe. Ouch :cool:

    Birds fed.

    3rd load in WM - after liberally dosing cricket whites with 'stuff' to try and remove hot chilli sauce and blackcurrant stains!!! Apparently it was the cricket club's initiation week for the freshers who've joined this semester ...DS is trying to convince me they are not a load of eejits....so far I remain unconvinced. (Am reliably informed that the cricket club is tame compared to the rugby team though...the mind boggles!)

    Have just started to read The Great Gatsby - am thinking that as a book it probably makes a good film, but I haven't seen that either so I'm guessing.

    Snuggly hugs to you all xx

    DS1 read it last year as an AS text, I may borrow it, let me know if you enjoy it.

    Governor conference was very good, some great speakers.

    Flying I've put the washing on the maiden since being home.
    DH is cleaning out the kitchen sink plug holes and has done a few niggly jobs like fixing a dripping tap.

    Ironing with strictly and xfactor tonight and then up and at 'em tomorrow.

    Oh and it's my shift next week so I have lists to prepare:rotfl: loads of ideas for you all :cool:
