    Morning

    One load of washing on the line and another lot just about ready to go out. Breakfast done. Just going to strip our bed then go for a shower then off to do some food shopping and pick up my new bike - that should be a laugh as I havent ridden one for 30+ years but I am determined I will do a little exercise. I am not going to try and keep up with my friend who goes for a bike ride and dies 55 miles :eek:

    Well done bossymoo you have done incredibly well :T

    Hope the tummy improves piggers

    Right bed and shower

    kazmeister - your post made me smile - the bit about dying at 55 miles......

    Am off to have a go at Mt Ironmore - DD1 going to meet a friend, DD2 revising, Ds in bed with a hangover and DH off to play cricket!

    Might even get to watch what I want! ( That's an unusual happening in this house.)

    DW emptied
    Wmx1 and out to dry
    Lunch made and scoffed - skipped breakfast
    Edges of painting tidied up
    All paint etc put away in its home
    Window washed
    Blinds put back up
    Carpet taken to tip along with bag of scrapings because it's near...
    Iceland, needed a few bits for freezer
    Next door was b&m bargains bought a hanging bird bath and little feeder house to trim up the garden a bit

    Some additions for my lists this weeks are:
    Remove excess gripper rod
    Hoover all corners of bedroom before new carpet comes
    Find something to sit under the tv stand so it doesn't mark the shelf
    Or buy a tv wall bracket (and fill shelf with pretty tat!)
    Hoover stairs down, lots of dusty up and downs lately...

    Not doing much else today, mil bringing tots back at 3 so I'm going to put my feet up for a few hours in the sun...
    Bossymoo

    Away with the fairies :beer:

    Ironing all done. Park & baby ducks visited. Park was fairly quiet everyone was in Sainsbugs. Lunch out.

    Miss Muddy Paws is asleep on the conservatory roof after jumping out of the boys' window. DS1 is attached to some gadget or other. DS2 is reading. I'm in our beach hut in the garden. Usually the wifi doesn't reach this far.

    Ground floor gutters have been swept out and both lawns cut.

    Beautiful weather here xx
