    We ate our lasagne for lunch, and had some carrot'n'orange cake for pud, and there was another half-hour before he had to get back to his desk and re-commence work.

    Normally, he wants to play a PlayStation2 game to fill the time; I mentioned I was going to fall behind with the housework with having Lucy to see to as well, and he helped me dust and polish the hall and lounge, instead; including moving all his heavy IT books from the top of the hall bookcase and giving it a thorough clean - something I can't manage on my own, as some of those books are huge!

    I am making progress. :j I can't find my MOT so i can Tax the car but i've just phoned the garage and they said they can print me off one for £10. I'm going to search high and low before i get one printed off. :D I've sorted a whole drawer full of paperwork and half filled a black bag with shredding and a recycling bag with paper. I now have a small pile to file. I've got to stop now though because i have to pack my sales and go to the post office and market before i pick up Ds2. Just going to tidy up the mess i've made a bit first.


    If you tax it online they check the details electronically so you shouldn't need it.

    I would but i forgot to change my address when i moved and i don't have enough time to change it before the tax is due. :o So i have to do it at the post office.

    I've been to the market and got 3 massive bags of fruit and veg for £10 and picked up Ds2. I suppose i'd better get off my backside and do some more.

    Yay a couple of dry hours here so I've been in the garden doing dirty jobs (compost stiring/weeding lawn/feeding lawn/filling coal bucket etc).

    DS1 deposited at work
    DS3 back from cricket.

    Just having a short break whilst cooking DS3's dinner (bitty night for meals and he is starving) and then I want to cut the front grass as it is green bin day tomorrow.

    Flying will have to wait until tomorrow but as I did loads yesterday I don't feel too bad.
