    Morning everyone. Had a great night out with DH last night seeing a comedian so feel like I am having a proper weekend even if I do have to cram everything in to two days at the moment. So today:

    Wrap DD's birthday pressie (only job from yesterday's list I didn't get done)
    Walk dogs twice
    Gym
    Bath
    Put chicken in slow cooker
    Make fruit salad
    Ironing
    Hoover properly through house
    Anything else I can find time for.

    Have a great Sunday everyone.

    Morning,

    Much more peaceful start to the day. We are still in bed! Kiddies have yoghurts etc and are under my duvet watching cartoons. So I can enjoy my cuppa.

    Today I'm going to S&S my upstairs sinks / loos then we have a rather cluttered garage floor to contend with. Plus a spot of ironing and getting bags ready for school and work. Ooh, must check my emails today...

    Morning all

    Deco glad you had a good 'wool' day

    Had mainly a pottering day yesterday, have half pruned the large cherry plum at the front but going to require assistance to finish it. Time to create a list and make a cuppa I think, everybody else is still in bed, it is so lovely and quiet.

    Morning all

    washing on line (x2)
    Rabbit in run
    Breakfast scoffed - yellow stickered teacakes that have been languishing in the freezer for months so simultaneous flingage (two birds and all that)

    Oh - PE - couldn't help myself 'and when you take your PE kit off it needs to go STRAIGHT in your bag. Don't put it down - put it away' I thought of you all!
