    Anyway, today I have washed up, cleaned the kitchen, swept and mopped kitchen floor, 2 x wm, 1 xdw, picked up party bag presents, picked up last few birthday presents, bought cake and plates/cups etc, nipped into primark and got a couple of bits I couldn't resist!, popped into see m and d, done some work and sent some emails, did some work for vol job, made up some of the party bags, put some stuff in the loft and brought some stuff down, returned some stuff from next, sent sil's birthday card.

    Mine was covered by the prickly wineberry bush for about 2 months in summer, friends know to come to the kitchen door anyhow ;) Last nice day here so plan is to spend all the afternoon in the garden, so many jobs to do.

    I need to shower and get away to pilates. See you all later.
