- make a fridge/freezer/cupboards stock list.

Also I ordered a copy of Sink Reflections too so will sit down and enjoy that later now that all my housework has been done.

Morning all

Kids all still asleep so just me and the mogs.

Managed to get a Silver yesterday which is good enough for me.

I've had the 'I'm sorry text', which brings the guilt out in me of 'oh it's all right' but I'm still smarting. Not wasting another day though.

Cuppa, check CC statement as DH has encouraged the printer to do what it is supposed to do - print. Then shower, feed neighbours cat put back the wheelie (plus neighbours either side and opposite as all away so I put them all out last night without being asked, see i'm not heartless after all).
