    oh my

    it's PERSISTING it down out there *points*
    and I am shattered

    went to PO after work 7 ebays to post and there was a sign - closed due to nationwide problem:eek:
    anyway I went to another PO and they were not only open (though they have had tech problems all day) but a postman I know was waiting for all the parcels - so I had a natter and they've gone.

    anyway - Vallikids are out DS at footy training (son he'll come in drenched and DD at Ju Jitsu and I have loads to do and no time to do it in so I had better get on...

    I did wonder :D

    Hope you like at least some of the books... And that your campy appreciate the not whining enough to compensate for you disappearing to read for hours on end!

    Two loads of washing done. Need to book an ironing collection now, and make myself call up about the utility room and garden as I keep putting it off :o

    Kitchen floor washed as some oil dripped on it.

    Tip run done, so dead microwave, dead light and lots of tetrapaks gone.

    Need to get my winter tyres put on soon.

    Two lots of cauli cheese made yesterday frozen. Sausage casserole in the SC. Now making macaroni cheese to use up excess cheese sauce. Also made tablet yesterday for Christmas presents so need to buy more jars. Cream bought today for chocolate making.

    Really need to catch up on work so I can sort out Christmas decorations!

    Lol - I would say I'd go and lob a brick through their window but someone'd take the threat seriously...they have lots of offices round here - transferred up from the smoke in the 60s and my house (and those roundabout) were built for RM employees. Had I been a little less snobby when I left school I could've been a high-up there by now!

    Been for milk. DS has rolled in - ice cold and wet through!

    I shall go and eat my chocolate - it's got my name on it!
