    Afternoon all

    I did some work this morning then met my Sisters for lunch and a mooch around the shops. I'm so stuffed now i feel slightly sick i think the pudding might have been taking it too far.:cool: I won't be having tea i don't think. I might see how many portions of chilli are in the freezer so i can feed everyone else that if there's enough. If not i'll have to cook a fresh one.

    I have to find Ds2's pe top that i've lost as well as one of his school shoes. I've got a bad feeling it's been chucked out accidently and it's bin day tomorrow. :eek:

    Need to find my list then i can make a start.

    bathroom's done, washing which was dry (first lot) is ironed and airing. Am risking leaving the bedding out a little longer; it's dry and windy so just might be dry enough to iron.

    Holly - good luck with that and hope you find it. A colleague of mine chucked a bag of 'rubbish' she found on her bedroom windowsill before amas... turned out one of her daughters (in her 20s) had 'hidden' £50 worth of bought xmas gifts there.:eek:

    That's not good Valli :eek:.

    I've searched through the rubbish bags and i still can't find this flipping shoe. :mad: I don't know where else it could be i've searched the whole house now.

    There was only 1 portion of chilli in the freezer and i CBA to make another one tonight so they've having jacket potatoes with beans and cheese instead.

    I've put the rabbits to bed whilst i was outside and i'm going to put a load of washing on and hope the pe top dries on the radiator overnight. Then i'm going to get on with my lists.

    I'm sorry I know it's not funny but that did make me smile :D :rotfl:

    I'm just had a little break while the DD's do their own thing :) I've just finished munching my last piece of Christmas pudding :D I'm the only one that eats it but I can't bring myself to buy a tiny one.

    Next job is to pack the Christmas stuff back into the attic then I'll be back in my room, DD2 will have her side of the bedroom to finish and DD1 will hoover through
