    They were filmed with the local MP who has been promoted Mrs MP. . I love your bluebird!!!

    I'm ahead with today's list as I did all the paintwork in the HSL yesterday.

    I had my car insurance renewal today. Cheeky bar stewards want £380. Done the comparison as advised by the insurance section of this website and I've saved £220 and got a £50 amazon voucher.

    Paid stuff beckons, but I've done all the HSL jobs except washing the curtains and the outside of the front door. Dailies all done and house quickly hoovered through (HSL done properly).

    Catch you all later.

    Morning ladies (and gents?)

    Feeling a bit "meh" today :( Got things on my mind that are bringing me down. Some I can do nothing about and others, if I'm honest I have no willpower to sort out :o I can feel I'm teetering on the edge of a big belt of BD so I want to get stuff done at home before it hits.
    Yesterday I offered to drive a new friend to an appointment in Canterbury, got there to find they'd been told the wrong day :cool: Anyway, got home to find DD1 had tidied around the front room, loaded and put on the DW and done a load of washing (actually half a load and mostly hers but still) :eek:
    Of course there's always a pay back, today I have to phone a new vet for her as we believe her chameleon is ill. I hate phoning people I don't know and even worse when I have to talk about something I know nothing about :( she did write me some notes :cool:
    I've unloaded and reloaded the DW, put the WM on, picked up the girls tat from around the front room (mostly DD1's :cool: ) and amended the food shopping list.
