    Up late last night watching DVDs with DD and ended up sleeping in until 8.45, so much for getting up and done :rotfl:

    I also need to:
    Banish 2 empty boxes upstairs for storage - recycle the box they replace!
    Make potato bake style thing in slow cooker or remoska before the spuds start growing new ones :o

    Off to banish these storage boxes upstairs now which will cross 2 things off the list :D

    Afternoon all

    Productive day so far:

    2 beds stripped, DS2 still to do his
    Bunk bed dismantled and downstairs for collection
    Builder popped in to discuss plans
    Hoovered behind wardrobe and bed in said room and put all back
    WM1 on the line
    WM2 in progress
    Steak (reduced) baguettes cooked for lunch

    Off for as much as I can do in the garden next whilst waiting for bed to be collected and the replacement (donated from a friend) to be delivered.
