    Knock on the door followed by a cheery "Hiya". OH's Dad and Step Mum have just arrived up from Bolton to surprise DS for his Birthday.

    They've just left to go and collect him from school as part of another surprise. This house is a disgrace and I'm due to leave for work in an hour.

    Time for a Benny Hill style shimmy around.
    S&S the bathroom
    Hoover through
    Make Spag bol and a chocolate cake.
    Dust the lounge surfaces - you can write your name on the Sky box

    No pressure then ....................... !!!!!!!!

    Off I go, feel free to prod me with the biggest stick you can get your hands on.

    Wow it's all go here, isn't it?

    I'm just home from paid stuff and briefly flipped through Fred. Expecting kiddies home any time so will have to dash off and sort edibles.

    Paid stuff all gone according to plan (apart from one mis-addressed email but I managed to recover it :eek:) and I've been really good with not snacking today, so I can have myself a proper something for supper!

    Probably wont get much flying done tonight, MIL will be here and kiddies, obviously, so will just keep on top of kitchen stuff.

    :wave:

    HHC anyone???? 4:30-5pm????

    The pinks should be away to KH's soonish after then and I'll order food.. takeaway because I am too tired to cook :p

    I got out of ringing DLA.. they rang me.. £1380 going into the bank in the next few days.. I've already paid out for everything DS3 needs so I may well just stuff a fair chunk of it in his savings account.. we've not had it so won't miss it.. theoretically! It is also accessible if he needs something sharpish too :D I have a trip to pay for for him and a few other bits.

    Anyway.. OH handed the brush for the kitchen and I'm off upstairs with my friend the mop!
