Podiatry this afternoon for the 2 girls so collecting them at 1ish.. hopefully we can get Tiddles back to school for her dance lesson at 3:15!

Moomin said her wrist feels 'ok' this morning so went to school more than happy to share her war wounds.

I have washing to do today.. couple of loads should clear it all and it is nice and sunshiny so that can go out and the 2 small pests can too! .. OH can bath them first.. Dot has crispy hair due to wearing her yoghurt pot on her head last night... and she stinks of maple syrup which is just vile.



I am incredibly tired and it is only the start of the day.. I guess I might be dead on my feet by bedtime! ... Might persuade OH we need takeaway for dinner tonight as the geeks are at KH's.. and I have pork steaks for tomorrow and chickens for Thursday.. all organised!

Phone calls first.. DLA as still no payment!!! (they owe DS3 £1380 now!!.. from December!!!) and to get the oven door replaced!.. saves cleaning it

Thanks for your feedback on my list I am using today to see exactly what I can get done. DH will do some when he gets back from work as well so some will be delegated to him.

Does anyone on here know what a steel book edition do a blu ray is? Is it like a collectors edition in a tin? Attempting a tin themed hamper for hubby for our anniversary

Yep, that's it. Sometimes there's a second disc, added extras, director's cut, that sort of thing. They do nice tins with Chivas Regal if he doesn't mind blended whisky.

Anybody wants me, I'm washing chair covers.:D

Good morning

I haven't done anything this morning except break my favourite mug

Anyone fancy joining me for HHC at 10.45?

MinnieMousesMummy

Mrs moneypenny - It is perfectly fine for you to give me your opinion in actual fact I appreciate it. I know I should probably be taking it a lot easier than I am but I need to get so much done before the baby comes long. However DH is a great help, as he jumps straight into whatever needs done when he gets in from work despite having worked a 10 hour day.
