    We went out for a picnic lunch in the park, to get away from all the chaos, and when we got back we had 2 new windows and a proper front door. Woo-hoo! No more creeping in via the utility and kitchen! :D

    It looks great Ionafan. No wonder you are pleased.

    I've spent the day flying upstairs. I've filled a big bag for the Charity Shop. Just got to get it there now. Bathrooms are sparkling and my room is Decluttered. Feel much better for the clear/chuck out.

    I'm going to steal your phone bill idea piggers. DS1 hasn't given me any money this year. I was happy to pay when he was at college but its his choice not to try and get a job. I won't fund him any longer.

    It's looking good Ionofan!

    I haven't funded phones for a while - I get a grudging £30 a week from DS.... which is supposed to arrive on a Sunday, but never does.

    The phone company rang me last week suggesting a contract would be cheaper - I suggested not - I top up once every 3 months and I am happy with a brick. In the end they agreed that they couldn't help me...

    im the same, me and DH and kids have have PAYG bricks if they run out they just stop using it and dont run up a bill, me and the girls are all on O2 so it costs us nothing to chat or text each other, boys on Tesco for the extra free stuff they get for the money Dh using a phone i won years ago thats on vodafone, i find his the least economical.

    my guests have just left so im in rush round like headless chicken mode now, havent been shops or packed but at least house is tidy.
    whats not done now can wait till next week

    ionafan windows and door look lovely

    The new huge pool arrived today so I almost popped myself blowing it up.. it is filling now.

    ALL the children are sent to KH's.. They've not been anywhere and never go anywhere so they have been booted off computers for a whole 3 hours.. DD2 has turned on the water works because she doesn't want to go.. and being a heartless moo I sent her anyway!! It won't kill her for the sake of 3 hours I'm certain.

    Parcel decluttered across the road to its real owners.

    Food for 4.. or maybe 5 seeing as I appear to have acquired a Jacob somehow.. He likes having dinner at my house.. apparently he eats things here he doesn't normally touch.. maybe because I ignore his moaning and tell him to starve then! lol

    I have a very hot Dot.. she is all limp and lolling about :(
