Morning all (just!). Lovely weather here today. DS still in pj's as DH and I need to sort his room so he can get into his wardrobe to get dressed.
We're off out blackberry picking at 14:00. Am hoping for loads.
Need a little bit of shopping and stuff but not sure if I'll fit that in today. Can always do it tomorrow.
Also need to clean out fireplace as I burned all the confidential waste yesterday so it's now full of ash. I can put the ash on my roses, they'll enjoy that.

[/B]And I still haven't cleared the cupboard under the sink, plus the bin needs emptying again.[/QUOTE]
You're not on your own, neither have I. One of those things I still have to look forward to.

Hi all.
Dogs fed, exercised and groomed, WM full of towels and hankies out on line, blackberry & apple crumble, lemon cake and veggie toad-in-the-hole made (the last is cooking as I type. Shame I loathe cooking/baking, isn't it?:rotfl:
Mr LW was despatched to the "European Market" in Newport Pagnell earlier, he came back empty-handed. No Italian fare whatsoever:( (I specifically sent him in search of Parmesan). He said there was only French and German, plus one stall selling Chinese fare. Didn't know China had joined the EU.:rotfl:If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)0
