    Evening

    All good at school :T hopefully by Monday he will remember and not go back a step from a weekend off. I'm finding this school business really tiring ;)

    Went to friends for tea - kids had a whale of a time, ate a good dinner and played nicely, if noisily ;) I had a good old natter too... :D

    Meatloaf fell apart so has become savoury mince, mum dropped me a huge gammon off from the market, and I used some of the earlier apple mush in some rather nice muffins.

    DD had a little accident in my bed earlier :eek: well, on the duvet - I'd let her nod off without a pull-up :o so I've stripped the bed, borrowed duvet from spare room and inspected original duvet, but can't find the wet patch to wash :mad: it won't fit in the WM so I wanted to spot wash the offending part - but it's vanished. Think I'll have to take it to laundrette :mad:

    WM just finished with pillow etc...

    The kids have agreed to the room swap and I had some lovely girly time with DD earlier choosing wall paper. She was set on black and ended up choosing pale blue with pink roses on :). DH is sulking about having to redecorate :). Can't wait to get it done :D.

    I've made the mistake of sitting down when I still have the kitchen to tidy up.

    Pouring here. I have DS1 and DS2 to pick up from work and wonder if DH will want a lift too.

    Need to plan journey for tomorrow, heading North, I'll randomly wave on route.
