Well it's Saturday, which means only one thing - DS2 jumped out of bed at 5.30am with all the energy and enthusiasm he's been lacking all week, when I've had to drag him out of bed at 7.30am :mad:.
Did DS fall in a river with ALL of his clothes and his suitcase? :rotfl:
Typical of the DC to wake themselves and you up early on a Saturday :eek: At least that's one problem you don't get with teenagers and beyond

They did activities such as gorge walking Hairy, and despite having waterproofs and wellies from the centre on, somehow all his clothes tell the tale. Either that or they went swimming with their cases :rotfl:.
On to the third load of washing since yesterday afternoon :eek:. Miserable here too so heating is on to get it all dry.

Rather dull and grey here too
My ironing pile is at risk of becoming a monster :eek: Maybe it's time to put the tunes on and work my way through it as the washer is on load number 2 already today and will need the attention of forementioned iron at some point over the weekendLiving in a superhero induced haze :A:A

It brightened up here at lunchtime, so the latest load is outside on the line and the heating is OFF :cool:.
DS2 is playing outside in the garden with a friend and DS1 is online playing with his friends. Today should hopefully be a NSD :T.Debts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j

Have made a complaint to Mr T's, as strawberries I bought yesterday and opened today are all mouldy :eek:. They are still well within date and were stored properly. Filled in an online form and supplied photos, and they rang straight back to say £5 giftcard will be in the post by way of apology :T. Great service.Debts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j
