    Hello!

    We came back form my sister's late last night so we've had a lie in. We had a chinese banquet!
    Thanks for the lists Natty and Dusty.

    I am in this week but, given I cleaned my kitchen after painting it on Saturday and we were out yesterday it doesn't need doing. I do have stuff to do though, including an assault on Mt. Ironmore.

    Kitchen, according to my dad, needs a second coat of white before the final colur is applied, but I'm not about to do that today.

    Thanks, I may well take you up on that if I get stuck :D

    Done DS2's room with him, just one side to go but my stomach was complaining so much that it needed food that I'm taking a break. Boys tend to do their own lunches, omlettes for 2 of them today so I've just made mine. Time for a cuppa and a little chocolate for me (well it is still Easter).

    WM on after the 2 littlies painted themselves blue!
    DW on as we have run out of clean bowls... I may get rid of some of the unused ones and buy more of the much used ones.

    Been on our errands this morning and looking at groomsmen suits. We've now got an idea of what is out there and prices. However, OH really struggled to sit in the car due to his recovering leg from the knee op, so it wasn't a fun trip. He found that sitting on the back seats with his leg up was much better. Now this means that I cannot take passengers to a friend's wedding that I had planned to, so I need to let them know. I'm also wondering how difficult he is going to find sitting all day at a wedding :huh: Never mind, we will just have to go with the flow.

    Since we've been back:

    Emptied and reloaded WM
    Put wet clothes on radiators
    Had lunch

    Now I am going to wash up, and will give the work surfaces, sink, and cupboard fronts a wipe. Then I'm off out again into town for a few more errands. Also got to do 2 more WM loads through today.
