Good sleep vibes to all.
Tots dressed ready for nursery, just watching postman pat. Made my packup last night, so just a case of throwing my dress on, and our shoes, and we are good to go.
Might be a long one today, so might not get much flying done as probs won't be home until 4.30 then I'll get the kiddies. Might do an hour when they are in bed. But I do have a day off tomorrow, so might catch up then.
I'm trying to get my head around what I've got to do before hols:
Tue. Work
Wed. Chores and dentist, bit of shopping
Thu. Play date and hairdressers
Fri. New music club trial session. Take kids to granny
Sat. Wedding
Sun. Back from wedding

Just popping in to pick up list, then off to do a little ironing. That'll be my HHI.
Waiting on man/men coming to replace the windscreen on our camper van later this morning - been waiting since Saturday when I had to spend 28+ minutes on the 'phone giving them every unnecessary detail and I had still had to wait until yesterday for them to work out what windscreen I needed.

Pigpen:Thanks for the link to the Facebook page. Can't seem to see any posts though. I don't have a clue with Facebook.
DW loaded and started.
Sold a DVD on Amazon so have wrapped that ready to post.
Really hoping to receive a cheque to bank today. The company said cheques are issued within 5 days - it's been over 4 weeks now. I've 'phoned them 3 times already!
It's rather grey and grim here today so no excuse for not getting on with indoor things. Well, as long as I don't spend much longer on the computer!!0 -
Morning All
Jaybee - you'll probably need to join the group first. Message 1 of the admin on there and they'll add you.
Happy Birthday lil-me
Happy Anniversary Mr & Mrs C
Well I'm going out to the funeral in just over an hour so probably won't get anything done today although DH is at home so he might do something!
Have a good day all
Hugs

Threaten them with the Financial Ombudsman - that should frighten them! :rotfl:
And the FO really does work - they have clout. :T
I've made a good start this morning:
- finished levels 1, 2, 3 and Extras for yesterday and today
- S&S'd bathroom, kitchen and cloakroom
- cleared and wipe the study windowsill (leftover from last week): it's the only sill in the house which has more than just a pot plant or four on it, and has become the display area for a few very special oddments and the cards and mugs from my grandchildren
- found a free course to sign up for at our local library "eb@y the easy way" (just what I wanted)
DH has taken today off work to go and steward at the beer festival this afternoon and evening. I have told him he is taking me out for a coffee at the garden centre later ("free") because I need to go to Hobbycr@ft next door and might also let him go to CTraders for a new shirt to replace the one I threw out last night because it is covered in ink stains from the umpteen pens he will insist on stuffing into his top pocket. When I married him, he had wardrobes absolutely bulging with clothes (when he was on his own he would go shopping at Mr T's and inevitably come home with some item of clothing which might have been right for a teenager but certainly not for a 50-something man with an expanding midriff) and most of them didn't suit him or fit him properly or were worn out anyway. I had a big fling when we got married, and now the rule is that if he wants to buy anything, at least one old thing has to go to the CS. I suspect he will come home tonight from the beer festival with yet another souvenir polo top, so that means I can ditch a couple more of the old ones :j
Am I mean? :beer:0
