    Afternoon all, flying went out the window earlier decided to take DS1's bike in to get fixed and have a wee nosey around the shops. So bike didn't take too long to fix but there was no point going back home again as too close to school run time. All boys now collected and DD should be home soon.

    Plan is to get dinner on and I might get the bathroom done while waiting on spuds to cook. :D

    Hey!

    So I'm done for tonight. All the walls have had a second coat, and we'll see how they look in the morning. Hopefully, all I need to do now is finish the little bit of woodwork up the stairs, and then just my stripes!

    So I may go purchase my mirror tomorrow! And go see the flooring people! :T

    Am so tired its untrue. Got a cuppa, then I will go take my battered nail polish off, and have a soak in the bath.

    Have a nice evening, all
