    I did broach the idea of doing it in a weekend and DH asked me if I was mad.. guess he hasn't come round to the idea yet.. I'll work on him!

    Garden cleared ready for slab delivery.. kitchen all painted, just some edging to put on to finish off blackboard. I say kitchen finished, we've done one end, still the other to do!

    Doesn't sound like the term gardening is appropriate, more like hard labour........

    Haha SJ - to be fair, I'll be right there with him labouring away!

    Been a good weekend on pr0lific - £5.50 worth of surveys so far! Submitted a missing cashback claim for just over £3.. who knows how long that will take to process.

    Quieter day today, bit of work in the garden and kitchen, but generally time with the kids. Just sent DH back to bed as he got up at the crack of dawn with DS..

    It's the most manic end of term I've known.. long days, not much sleep and I'm knackered.

    £20.61 requested from Pr0filic and that is in the bank account. I'm not really doing much with money at the mo. Just waiting for payday to whack another lump off the debt.

    Dog news - we are having him early so that's thrown weekend plans into disarray. Will need to pick up a few things for him, but mostly there.

    Busy weekend ahead of vet visit for jabs, quick trip to the library and then it's slabs, slabs, slabs all the way till Sunday night!
