    I have just checked the weather report for my area for the next 5 days and it says that it will be sunny on saturday. I really hope it is right as it is DS's birthday party and we had arranged to have a BBQ. Apparently will be getting rain until Thursday though so will have to use TD for a little longer to get all the washing out of the way in time for the party. Got so much to do over the next couple of days and I don't know how I am going to fit it all in. As it is I am on here instead of working *slaps self*. This site is too addictive.

    Dusty - I don't know but if you find mine can you pass it over? :D

    I've tided the livingroom up, took all of 2 minutes if that :D I need to hoover, and mop the floors (will do that on route to my bath) and I'll dust later as the place isn't actually that dusty except for the fire which is currently bl**dy hot as I've had it on drying washing :rotfl: I'm just putting DD's artwork away off the understairs door ready for the stuff thats going to be coming home over the next few weeks with it being the end of the school year.

    Can't stop any longer, I've already run the hot water in the bath as an incentive and I still have to find a clean pair of jeans which are hiding somewhere in the ironing pile :confused: :wave:

    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    Rounders tournament rained off. DS is going to be soooooooo cross as school trip was cancelled yesterday. Thankfully I have to take DS1 and 3 swimming after school so he can stay here and rant to his dad! I so hope his cricket match at 6 is not cancelled too.

    I now have the whole afternoon here so no excuses back to the list as I have only hoovered and ironed so far.

    *hands up as one of the lazy toe rag brigade*

    No excuses really......well I did go Ebay stock buying, then I sat reading books with DS, then he yawned so I tried to get him to have a nap but I ended up dozing off and then I came back to see what else you lot have been up to :p

    And now it's almost time to fetch DD so might as well sit here with some juice before we go.

    Kick from anyone please?
