    All animals fed, DCat1 is being extra clingy today, she seems healthy so hopefully it's just the smell of the neighbours cats that's doing it.
    Went to turn DD1's chameleon on and the light fitting's broken again :mad: this is the second one in a matter of months and of course she hasn't got a receipt :cool: I've phoned and told her that either she or her boyfriend need to get it sorted (its his fault we have the thing in the first place! :cool:) She told me that work had phoned her and woke her up at 8.30 asking her to go in :rotfl: she told them she can be in at 12. Lazy little wotsit could easily be in before then.
    DW on, WM on, only half load as it's all I have left :eek: but the weather's too nice to waste.
    Off to collect the oldies, see you in a few hours :(

    Thank you for the kind wishes everyone - I'm sure this will be a happy little home for us, we're already living a lot healthier and happier lifestyles as we're more inclined to go outside and keep the inside nice too. Well HHC turned into more of an hour, with a small break for feeding and changing Noo. Still, I've been surprisingly productive for this time of the morning: washing up done and kitchen wiped down, downstairs loo all clean and tidy and the unfortunate red-wine-on-cream-carpet stain has been tackled. WM on again so I can hopefully get Noo's nappies drying on the line while the sunshine lasts.

    Anything gone is done. Going to try to grab a quick shower now while Noo is being (relatively) quiet on her playmat.
