    I'm in and have grabbed a piece of toast for my tea. WM is on and I think the next job had better be to do some dishes. AF has arrived so I'm dead impressed seeing as DH and I are going away for a kidfree weekend this weekend!

    Anyone fancy joining me for a HHC 7.45 - 8.15?

  • Mummyof5 - massive get well vibes to the poor little man and his mummy x
    Many thanks to those who've remembered me - just did a quick flit through as still haven't eaten as been at DD2's as dgd (chloe for those that remember) is poorly and we did a mercy shop and cuddles
    I have to set off to work at 6.45 am nowadays and haven't much chance to do owt in the morning apart from dragging my weary bones out of bed - gone are the days when I started work at 9 and didn't have to leave the house until 8.55! I'm only only temporary contract but work is work so should be grateful.
    Got Friday off so should catch up with housework and xmas shopping (have to as I've only bought one so far!)
    Loved, hugs, mules - take your pick my lovelies xx

    Just done a Sainsbury coupon shop and got some great reduced bits too. I need to go at this time of day again.

    All so quiet here as most of the family are at DS3's school show, last one tonight but they'll be back in about 15 minutes.

    I'll just empty the DW.

    Jue so sorry to hear of AFs untimely arrival
