Also sorted out shampoos and shower gels, we have so many minatures that we need to use then up so that's the aim! Kids beds in wash and will Hoover mattresses when dh is up! One load on line. Will Hoover throughout and clear our dining table hotspot today! And def take kids out to blow off some steam! Lol x

    Morning All

    I'm still alive but DH is still off work so he's supposedly doing the housework! He did a carboot last weekend and he's doing another 1 next weekend to try and get some money together and I need to photograph some stuff to put on gumtree or something.

    Anyway hope everyone's keeping well and I'm not missing to much news.

    BTW any ideas where to get a prom dress for an 11 year old from without spending the earth?

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    I get ours from secondhand / reconditioned local employment training projects. They're always super-helfpful because they've got loads of stuff to sell and not very many buyers. The stuff's always guaranteed for three or six months and they'll often deliver it. I'm honestly amazed at what some people can afford to trash and replace.
    Better is good enough.

    Right... 2 girls yelled at.. Off to get their hair washed and get them dressed.. the 2 tiddlies can go in then because they are sticky.. I'll hang out laundry while they soak the dirt off... OH will be in there I'm not leaving 2 toddlers unattended in the bath :p

    Tiddles SHOULD be dried by then so I can sort her clothes and she can try the ones on we are unsure about.
