    I've had a great day with a lovely friend. It was made better by DS1 helping me out. I nearly died of shock when I got home and he had cooked lasagna and hung the washing out.

    Tomorrow is sports day, its raining cats and dogs currently so it will be pretty slippery in the morning.

    DS3 is delighted with his new to him clothes. The Ar5enal kit was a particular favourite!

    I've just taken DS1 to work, he's realised that because he's been good to me the favour is returned. I had to take DS3 and DD2 and we waited in the very busy car park for DS2 to finish work at the fast food restaurant that starts with M.

    I haven't done the floors downstairs. My excuse is the kiddies weren't settling and the vac would have disturbed them :p but I did some in the kitchen, prettied my nails and lifted the cases down from the loft.

    Shower time...

    Back hall now all tidy and I can open back door again. All clean washing put away and more stuff for ebay gathered up. Going to try list a few more things when kids go to sleep, they never want to sleep. Charity stuff all printed ready for morning. My laptop charging to see if it will work, fingers crossed it does.

    Secondary? Wondered what your %reserves are of income, do you do a 3 year plan and has your budget changed much this year?

    Hope your foot is easier tomorrow.
