    Evening al

    I've been out and cut the front grass since dinner, a mamouth task, took 5 emptings of the grass collector. Also watered all the back pots and fresh plantings at the back, did the front yesterday.

    Just having a short rest then I need to do the ironing, out from lunchtime until very later tomorrow so need to try to get ahead a bit.

    I have;

    Sorted kitchen, put cloth in bleach to soak and put lots of carp away.
    Refrained from snaffling from the baking tubs :T
    Done a quick check on car insurance (renewal through, premium gone down, quick comparison site check says I could save £1.42 but my excess would be higher) will stay with current provider.
    Sorted my summer club needs.
    Paid some money onto my Mr A ans Mr S shopping cards (via work we can get discounted reloadable gift cards, 5% off, so top these up and pay for my groceries with them :money:
    Redone 3 nails.

    Now I'm going to browse more nail colours. Not buying, but it's my birthday in a couple of weeks so thinking ahead ;) (been known to get boots vouchers in the past...)
    Then going to throw out some zzzzz's

    Night all x

    Away with the fairies :beer:

    Morning all. More weeding for me today, but I have a M&S giftcard so think I'll ask DD if she wants to go to the outlet centre.

    Just heard England lost, glad I didn't stay up.

    Have a great day everyone.

    Afternoon all :D

    DD is so very achy today :rotfl: I had to wash her hair, and run her bath as she couldn't bend her arms. She's starting to go brown already but her freckles have gone khaki green where she's sunburnt :rotfl: Plenty of moisturiser & painkillers later she's feeling better. Although it looks worse than it did, its not as bad as it was at the same time if that makes sense? She's now gone out with her dad for the day, suncream on face & chest area, long sleeved shirt, and 2 bottles of water. Apparently won't be back until after 5pm as they're going to see a film at 3pm :D

    So far, apart from helping DD, I've had a bath myself, stripped both beds, dealt with the Mr A delivery, spoken to my mum on the phone and done some survey work. Plan for the rest of the day, laundry (bedding, towels, sofa throws/cushion covers after DD got aftersun all over them so they're sticky :(), ironing & shredding (going to alternative HHC with them) and I might throw a cake in the oven later if I do decide to do a roast. First though I'm going to clean out the fridge, I have loads of leftovers and salad stuff thats gone icky :o Off to do a HHC in the fridge :rotfl: :wave:
