So busy this week. Ds1s birthday tomorrow, bought him some helium balloons and when I got home realised I had got him the wrong age! What an idiot!
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.
So, although not much achieved off the lists, I have been busy. OH even helped and did some ironing tonight!
