Dog's drugs topped up, Sainsbobs visited, ironmonger's visited for the rest of the smart new cutlery, plastic consequently decluttered of loot, another load of washing done and dried, most of yesterday's is now folded and ready to be put away, new lodger in 24 hours late but finally here.Better is good enough.0 -

morning all
re baby naming gift, how about something like a 'classic' childrens book, doesnt have to be a 1st edition just one that you think all children should have and enjoy. my 5 were all christened in church, i said i didnt want gifts just people to share our day but ive got tons of little silver money boxes and the like that all tarnish over time.
even if a book is too old for them now it will come into its own as the key that will hopefully open up a love of reading.
decluttered one to school and swept through all down stairs, dug out my next stitching project so going to have a HHC later sorting threads out of that. (its a christmas pressie for either my mum or mil when its finished)
Dont forget
its voting day in lots of areas Emily Pankhurst chained herself to railings and died to give us ladies the vote so can we all use it please.
im not going to start a debate on who anyone sould vote for i just think its important to have our say.SPC~12 ot 124
