    There was I worrying about my DS who has just got married. He is only 22 and they've been together 4 1/2 years. I guess there's hope for them yet.

    Payday today :j

    OH and his pal headed off on their fishing adventure this morning :beer: There will be a few of these I expect :rotfl:
    Sorted out buildings and contents insurance, and did a pile of ironing - now there's two jobs I have been putting off :rotfl:

    Went to pick up grand-daughter no.1 with DD2, as she is having her to stay for a couple of days. I think they have gone to the cinema now, and I will take them both out for lunch tomorrow, and then they can go shopping while I meet up with my student :)

    Did a load of washing and dried on the line

    Bought a new mop head as mine had disintegrated (the glamour!) :rotfl:but apart from dusting a tray and some decanters, that is as far as I have got with the housework :o

    Must try harder!

    Also bought a few bits of fruit and veg.

    Took up the offer of a local cleaning company to clean 2 carpets for £19. They said they will come on Thursday. I only have carpets in the bedrooms and on the landings and stairs, but remembered my brother dropping chilli sauce all up the lower stair one (when new :mad:) which has left a couple of slight stains, and the dog weeing on the one in the small spare bedroom. She is no longer allowed upstairs - she wouldn't dream of weeing downstairs on the hard floors where it would be easy to clean up :rotfl:So, although I obviously cleaned up these disasters at the time, it will be good to see whether a professional clean will bring them up like brand new again :)

    Right, better take the dog out for a walk as it looks as though it is thinking about raining again :(

    Rainy morning :(

    Got up early to put the bin out (my glamorous life :p)

    Had Greek yogurt, banana, meusli and honey for breakfast (yummy)

    Lunch with DD2 and GD1 today, then off to see student :)

    Before that I need to:

    Comment on said student's work :eek:
    Put ironing away

    Start housework :(

    Think what to do with a surfeit of courgettes (ideas welcome :))

    Belated congratulations on the 40th Wedding Anniversary ~ that's Ruby isn't it??

    Courgettes ~ ratatouille, courgette & stilton soup, stuffed & baked courgettes, ribboned courgettes (made with potato peeler) then boiled or steamed & used as 'tagliatelle' instead of pasta & have with pesto??
