OK, I've cut the grass now back and front, and I've vacuumed (the house, not the grass!). DH and DDs have taken the dog out for the afternoon so I'm having some peace and quiet now. I think I'll sit out and read my book soon. If the dog over the road stops barking.....

Well got most of the list done, might do those shoes/coats now, well when the kids go to sleep. Paperwork is only half done so can't strike that. Just didn't realise there was so much, plus when I started shredding DS2 wanted to help and kept nearly shredding much needed items like bills yet to be paid etc! So put away for now and will do some more on that tomorrow. Just going to do the new weeks list which should appear soon.
