    Did all my chores in town and visited the GC for some compost - possibly got more than I need as it was on offer.

    Washing on the line but it is cold so not sure it is drying much.

    Piggers what are you planning on doing in the firs 10 minutes of being in OH's mother's house to make yourself unpopular?

    HHC anyone?

    inonafan & mrs m-p I'm another family history fanatic. You might even say freak! Can I ask where you found the will that solved your case ionafan, was it online? Mrs m-p does your relative claim your ancestor's dob is 2 years older than you've found? I have an idea; I will pm you later.

    For now, HHE calls :eek:

Goodness knows how we'll get from Leeds to London, across London, checked into hotel at Tower Bridge then back to Covent Garden for the restaurant in 3.5hrs :eek: suspect we might end up being late :)

  • Hi folks

    How are you all doing today? Sending a virtual hot toddy to Bossy; an unexpected windfall to Piggers for her ceiling and a whole load of love to everyone else - take only what you need, mind (Native Indian proverb).

    Been at the paid stuff, walked the pooch and dinner is made and in the oven. Just had the kids help me tidy up the lounge and kitchen, do the pots, sorted out dirty laundry into piles and WM is now on. They've both been out to refill the wood basket and coal scuttles, so fire is now lit. Me and DD are both in our leopard print onesie's so I don't think we're doing much else tonight.

    Let's have a look at this list then and see how we are doing ...

    I have a chappy coming to do me a quote first thing in the morning.. Can we have vibes for an affordable price please?

    The 2 naughties keep emptying the water out of the bucket under my drip and splash about in it pretending to be ducks and quacking.. How can you tell them off?

    OH doing dinner.. I fell down the stairs earlier and have hurt my ankle so standing to do food is not going to happen.
