    OH has spent the whole day whizzing around the city with a car full of film gibble, dropping it off and decluttering the sitting room and dining room in the process. We still have several car loads to go, but I can see carpet behind the sofa!

    I ended up doing the catering for the last two days of the shoot which was incredibly hard work but very rewarding because everyone was so appreciative. I had to spend quite a bit in Morribunds on Monday and they gave me a 'Save £3.75 when you spend £75' voucher which is valid until 18 August if anyone wants it. At the moment I don't want to have to shop or cook for at least a month and that's just as well as we have a fridge full of leftovers most of which can be frozen.

    Flying-wise, the cat managed to knock over a R's huge mug of post-filming hot, milky tea at 9.45pm last night - all over the dining room carpet. Having to crack out the bi$$el did not amuse me as I was invited to the wrap party at 10.00pm. Got there eventually and the carpet had dried by this morning. I hope I got it all out because the smell of sour milk on wool doesn't bear thinking about.
    Better is good enough.

    I am here in Northampton and in a move of UTTER GENIUS my iBook is better - BiL has speeded it up and reset my forgetten password.

    I only brought it to keep track of e bay.

    It took him about 5 minutes.\

    I'm shattered. Front lawns mowed, and next doors as I wanted to put the grass in their wheelie, mine is overflowing. Cut their roses and grape vine whilst I was there. Back garden all tidied and watered, just need to do the gravel tomorrow and all set. I will need a new plant for the corer - oh choices how lovely (although quite limited due to location.

    I'm taking my friend for her breast op tomorrow first thing so not sure when I'll be around to fly but if I don't do any then hey ho.

    Was a bit premature in declaring myself "done" earlier. WM x 1, cooked dinner -- steak, caramelised onions, fresh corn and hash browns -- hung washing in the boys room and washed up before S&S kitchen.

    Paid work tomorrow morning, when I get home I'm breaking out the MILs carpet cleaner. Wish me luck, I think I'm gonna need it…!
