Girls dumped.. kitchen swept.. OH dropped a plate of pasta, I was SO pleased I had just moved the rug I washed yesterday otherwise it would have to be washed again!

Why has DS3's DLA not been paid yet? I may ring and ear ache them again.

I have a TD full of yesterdays washing to fold and 2 loads to hang out.. cuppa first.

Best do all the boring internetty things first.

One of the people on OHs FB just posted a pic of her 'cluttered messy' kitchen... it makes me sick.. seriously, it was tidier than mine is when it is 'spotless' I hate people like that, I'm sure they just put up pics so people tell them how lovely it is etc.. gggrrrr

Squeak appears to want to be nakey nakey today.. should be interesting if we go out

Guess I should move my fat lazy self!

I'll play Mrs-MP... I'll start by turning off the house phone which has rung about 6 times this morning!

Been to @ldi for plants, rain here so we'll deal with those tomorrow. Got 30, a mix of cerise surfinias and purple osteospermums. Should look nice together. We have a double wall separating the top patio from the rest of the garden and DH used to plant petunias in the top, he always looked after them and it made the garden so pretty, so DS and I want to do the same this year.

Washing on airers in conservatory, forecast wet all day here. Spuds baking in oven, kiddies playing in conservatory. Cuppa slurped. Home insurance next on my list... Will go call now to cancel renewal...
