    I got out of work at a reasonable time :T so I've come home and vacced the house again. Having windows open is lovely but creates icky windowsills.

    Will go fetch kiddies in a mo and mopping downstairs will happen tonight. May also do some more holiday clothes prep. Decided to probably take 3 cases not 2 (albeit 1 carry on size) as pushchairs won't be in my car and DS is already deciding on toys he "needs" lol. We have 3 x 20kg there's no way we'll use it all. I normally end up about 13...

    I'm WFH tomorrow = less travelling = lunch break. Some groceries for travel pack-up are needed, so list has been written.
