    I no more have to put up with football on my tv as I've had to the last couple of hours! haha

    When OH wanted to get a new tv (nothing wrong with the old one) I told her only on the condition I could have the old one for my Xbox. Now instead of arguing over the tv I happily play my games and she can watch Eastbenders and football all she wants :)

    Very slowly working through my email lists, think I've got most of the important ones.
    OH helped me clear out a huge pile of clothes that were cluttering up the wardrobe, I'd have wanted to hang on to it all even thou I'll never wear it. She's a little more tough so firm decisions were made :D it's sat in a big pile in the corner and she's even promised to drop it to the clothing bank for me over the weekend. So something ticked off my Toots list

    Morning!

    We are up, fire is on :eek: but I'm about to switch it off again... Just having a cuppa whilst kiddies have picnic breakfast watching Thomas.

    We need to get dressed and DS off to school, then DD and I have a day at home, catching up with lists and organising the garage to empty the conservatory into. And she is having a nap this afternoon, moody moo :p

    I will edit my work clothes with a fresh eye too - some of them are very tired looking. I wouldn't mind, I only go into the office twice a week - how much workwear do I need?

    Hugs to everyone today, especially dusty x
