Airer loaded, TD on 3rd time, Dog bedding in WM. Bedding & towels in airing cupboard, had a quick tidy in there too. Need to ask DD2 if she needs 5 aprons!
Coins bagged up for trip to the bank while DD2 has the opticians.
Rescued Chameleon from choking on piece of plastic leaf :eek: DD1 was given fake plants for Kiwi's viv but I guess the plant had got brittle?, she went to grab a locust and got a piece of plastic instead :eek: I had to scare her to get her to drop it. She wasn't happy I think she thought I was after her "food". Plant now removed and binned, DD1 can checked over everything else when she comes home.

Bright, dry and sunny morning here, much appreciated after all the rain.

DD dropped into town, quick supermarket trip, then up and down town for a walk, two bags to Oxfam, and a few bits of shopping before coffee and pain au raisin in my favourite cafė.

This afternoon, I'd like to do a bit more clutter busting, and I need to make a sausage casserole for dinner.

Pigpen Well done!

My new pillows and duvet is on! Just having a little lie down

Old duvet is under the sheet so nice cushy bed for me! And hopefully warmer!

Now to decide what to do with the old stuff... Must get rid, must not stash "just in case"...

Feeling a flingathon coming on...

Bossymoo - please take them to the nearest animal shelter they will appreciate the duvet for bedding, or your local RSPCA shop.

DH has been inspired by my efforts and cleaned the lounge and hall carpet this morning. Smells lovely and looks better.

WM been on and now on the line. DW on

HM paella for dinner tonight, if I can get the ingredients I want.

Off to St Albans now for the afternoon.

Dustykitten

Enjoy St Albans Gilly, hope you can park on a Saturday.

I've done some decluttering and cleaning in DH's office, started off all enthusiastic but now feel overwhelmed. DH is doing some of his bits now.

Going to see about joining a local facebook selling group to get rid of some bits rather than fleabay.

Yes will do x

I once swallowed a marble. One of the large ones. I think I was 7 and it didn't come out naturally, but was a nice surprise for the surgeon some 12 years later when my appendix burst (seems that's where it was lodged...)

DD decided to put a tiny lego gear stick in her ear and cried "mummy I've got a bone in my ear" cue lengthy discussion about how we have lots of bones in our ears, until I understood she had stuck the bone-shaped plastic in it :rotfl:

Just done a spot of baking with the littlies, they've gone out in the conservatory and are jumping on cushions now. There's toy cars and aeroplanes everywhere. I'm going back upstairs after I've checked our little ginger cakes...
