    vacuumed through downstairs, I left the 2 girls with DD2 while I collected the other 2 from school and dumped them at their dads and when we got back DD2 had got them all tidying.. so I vacuumed :)

    Off to do a bit more packing.. I might do mine actually, so I have nothing to wear for the rest of the week hahaha.

    Paid stuff finished.

    Piggers - I put down 20 Aug for meet as I thought it had to be third week in Aug for you. To clarify then - I can do any Tues/Wed in Aug in Hull/York. If anyone is interested, PM me with dates/location you can do and I'll see what matches up.

    just lashed it down here so ran for the washing as it was dry, hoping that by the time the rain hit DS2 would have been on the bus on his way back from day trip.
    just had friend round who i journey share for scouts. apparently our boys are old enough to be moved up to explorers after the summer. it had been mentioned briefly but nothing definate so bit of a shock that just cos we missed the last week (due to the awards evening which we told scouts about in advance) none of this had been mentioned to us for definate and our DS is a year older.
    need to check the calendar for the week of scout camp as ive just agreed DH will do both journeys for the boys as she doesnt like driving that far in an area she doesnt know.

    need to go and do some stuff ironing pile has grown slightly now ive bought the washing in..

    i'd go with hair dryer and hang on a coat hanger in as warm a place as you can find. is it just rain damp or completely soaked?

    back from martial arts club and have done a bit of cross stitch while watching.

    DS2 back from alton towers, good day but it rained so tried and wet.
