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

Today I'm hoping to get some baby things posted for sale on my local Facebook page, I make bunting and am really trying to make some money from it, so fingers crossed someone will like my baby bunting!0 -
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....:jFlylady and proud of it:j0 -
Posi-vibes for DD Cyclingyorkie.
So far I have emptied and refed DW.

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:0
