    Halfway up the second sleeve of Squeaks cardigan.. I WILL finish that sleeve today!
    3 girls bathed... 1 to do and the rest do themselves.. she is currently vacuuming her pit of a room though so it'll wait a few minutes.
    Just sorted Squeaks chest of drawers.. I have a large pile that doesn't fit out already and her new bits squeezed in..

    I need to finish filling the chazzer bag today and get DS2 to take them both tomorrow while he is off college..

    I need to find and wrap DS1's birthday presents.. he is 22 today and demanding a party.. I said it is no longer my responsibility to sort such things.

    Back to the drawers I go!

    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 :).

    Under sink cupboard is done!

    Also walked round to field and took horses some carrots.

    Roofer coming this afternoon for trim and plasterer tomorrow to finish up.

    So I've cleaned the windows and frames for nothing ;) but who cares.

    Mum has arrived with builder stepdad - he's given it the once over and thumbs up (phew) shame he couldn't do it but he's back for second surgery tomorrow but never mind. At least if he thinks its good, it must be ok.

    Away with the fairies :beer:
  • [/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.
    Busy week next week so I'll be scrabbling around looking for time.
    Have a beautiful Sunday everyone.

    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.;)
