    Morning All

    I woke up at 4 and had a bath so I'll be shattered tonight. I'm going to put some washing on the line although it's looking pretty grey because it can't go in the TD and do a HHI I think.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    WEll I'm up, DS and OH have been despatched and 2 loads of washing are hanging limply in the garden.

    Today DD2 has another exam - Geography Paper One - if it goes as well as Monday did I'd be happy. So if anyone has any spare posi-vibes I'd be eternally grateful ( Dusty's DS is also sitting it) -all we need are some decent questions..... ( well we could have done with another month for revision, but that 'aint gonna happen....)

    We have planned that DD2 takes tomorrow off from revision - I am going to treat her to lunch in town....

    Early start here as we managed to catch the Olympic Torch on its way past as least the sun shone for the brief moment it went past.

    Posting list I have taken off what has been done this week so far aiming to get list finished and have a good declutter at the same time.

    HHC at 11.00 anyone?

    HHE okay 20 mins, 30 day shred level 2
    Do the computery bits for a research paper
    Do an online OU assignment

    Waiting for an approved food order to arrive... It's not due for an hour but I'm on edge everytime I hear a van, which is pretty often as I live behind the high street where all the vans unload for the shops :rotfl: I really hope DPD will help me get it up the two flights of stairs as I've ordered almost double my body weight.
    Living cheap in central London :rotfl:
