    It is quite rude but then I have a similar problem where I am asked what time I am arriving and then rang at that time to ask where I am. I'm presuming though that friend is not cleaning house in prep for house sale though!

    P.S. She is lovely and I'm really looking forward to seeing them but just like a little more organisation! Still not here yet.

    Had a lovely afternoon/evening and had forgotten how lovely little folk can be - grumpy teenagers even played well with her:D

    I think today will be dedicated to washing as the forecast for the rest of the weekend isn't too good so beds etc must get changed today, this will involve DS getting out of his though... also waiting on a delivery of new wellies:j:j

    Finding sand everywhere after my wee visitor yesterday, forgot how much they bring back with them:D there was a pool of it on a kitchen chair when she got off of it.:rotfl:

    You know you're getting old when... the delight that the first load of washing was almost dry when putting out the second is almost as great as it used to be when finding 'just the right shoes':D

    Or when a treat is a new bottle of liquid soap rather than topping up the old one yet again with random stuff :T
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Ahh you see I'd have to disagree there as I'm so old I use a soap dispenser you need to fill up:o... needs to match the bathroom.:D

    Failing at dry August attempts, wine was consumed on day 1 and I'm now feeling the need for cocktails to feel less well... old:eek: added to this LM has wine for me:smileyhea

    I have done literally loads of washing today - five to be precise - so looks like my childfree weekend shall be mainly spent ironing:D I shall aim for 5 more things on ebay, especially seeing I seem to have spent the proceeds of last time on some stunningly beautiful wellies:o (spell check keeps changing that word to willies:D)

    Not sure there will be much OPing done in August but if I ebay and manage not to spend it there's a slight chance:rotfl:
