    - Ask OH to clean/wipe old laptop, so I can get it on Ebay (at long last)
    - Do some clothes washing
    - Do some dish washing
    - Put clean clothes away
    - Get OH to change the time on the clock in the living room (he is taller than me).

    I think that is enough for one evening, seeing as I don't get in til around 6.30pm and I also need to have a shower.

    Oh yes, I also already made some PAD's.

    Ok, OH managed to get the rest of today off, and the week, so he's putting the washing on now. The clock has been updated, and I've just asked him to wipe the laptop so I can put it on ebay no later than this weekend. :)

    Thanks guys, I think it is the stress too, I've had a bit of luck with the venue on the smaller things but no luck on the main one...so thus far I either have no wedding or no tables or chairs...how ridiculous.

    Hahaha, yeah. Just remove the y at the front!

    I think there was also a car advert, a while back, which said something like 'Are you adventurous? Of course you are! You're from Orpington!', whilst showing a shot of the road leading into the High Street.

    Psst....the town is not 'adventurous'. :rotfl::rotfl:
