    Juliejim - I'm sure we don't want a full list on Friday do we!! :):rotfl:xx

    I was thinking of a special list just for us two!

    Morning All

    So far this morning

    Emptied WM
    Emptied and reloaded TD
    2 x HHI

    Beavers and Cubs tonight so won't be getting much done then but hopefully I'll get some jobs done tomorrow. Not sure what's going to happen with our decs as we were supposed to be doing them yesterday but when I asked DH at 4 when he was planning on getting them down - I'd been upstairs wrapping - he said he'd forgotten about it and wasn't getting them down now! Obviously he's away all week, we're going awat next weekend and the following weekend I'm on a residential with Beavers and Cubs all weekend - then it's Christmas!

    Have a good day all

    Hugs
