    DS3 has had very erratic bloods and an upset tummy after KH upset him yesterday.. including a 2.3 at midnight and a 13 earlier today... Let's see the piece of faeces go for custody now!!! .. that was his threat if I didn't close the CSA case!! Which I haven't done anyway as he hasn't a cat in hells chance.

    OH minced the grass

    DS3 cleaned out the boing

    Having a do what I want day.

    Been to town and bought a couple of summer dresses, scarf and top and picked up my free foundation sample. Done some light gardening jobs in the back garden. Reacquainted myself with the sun lounger.

    Honey Bear - thanks, you made me laugh and a thaw is on.

    New washing line is up so I'll try it out tomorrow.
    Cut the back grass.

    Just going to do a last HH in the back garden before dinner and I must do some sewing with t tonight, and sort my sewing box as the entire lot tipped out earlier.
