    ooh - also, done a load of washing, and hope to have a sweep/hoover up of the living room/dining room and kitchen so we can come back to a reasonably clean hopuse on SUnday.

    I'll have my day of rest tomorrow. Will be at in-laws, so will not have anything to do.

    Of course you can join bexbex - welcome :)


    Wish I'd read this earlier - pamper day! I've stripped and washed my bedding, it's out on the line. Dusted and polished my bedroom and vacuumed my bedroom, my daughter's, the landing and the bathroom and toilet.

    Made cottage pie for lunch.

    Hope the washing dries before the rain gets here, they've forecast it for later today.

    Have you noticed how productive we're all being considering today is supposed to be a pamper day :confused::rotfl::rotfl:

    Right, I'm off to Aldi. I might even pop back to Asda to have a look at the size of their compost bags and whether I could manage to carry one home so I could do some gardening today :D:D:D You see I've received an order from Alanromans and I can't wait to start all the flowers growing :o Laters :wave:

    Pleased to hear Moggins is ok :) Phew! Had me worried. Pigpen that is great news, have a big relieved squeeze from me :) Hope everything goes well as I know transition can be traumatic for them.

    Well been a busy day, unfortunately no time for pampering, but the busy getting my sisters laminate, carpets etc all ordered also mean't I got to spend time with just me and my sister, we ended up having a right laugh, especially when we were trying to get in the car with the plants she bought :rotfl:

    Dinners already prepared, put all into SC this morning, done pudding mix and potatoes this afternoon so just ready to switch on. DS pee'd the bed again so have had washer/drier on non stop! Still got a lot of paperwork etc to sort. Few dailies to do also then I'll be done. Will strip the 2 terrors when they get in from school and get uniforms washed.

    HopeElizzy they are on in Newcastle again, not that I can understand why anyone would want to go and see them.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Fantastic news about the school pigpen. I was so relieve when my daughter got in our local school as it's literally two minuts walk from our house. If she'd not got in we'd have had to drive everyday. You can really enjoy your night away now. Have fun xx
