    That sounds like a good plan, pigpen :D my postie is quite nice too ;)

    Worked from 06.30 to 16:45 today with a short break in between to drive home via the bank. MIL has got us in a proper pickle over the holiday money, and I had to empty my savings as we got all mixed up about how much to pay now. Thankfully it's all sorted and I can put some back - plus they've given me a cheque (hence the bank visit).

    I've collected kiddies and fed them plus tidied up after dinner and set DW on, but that's all I've had time for. I'm now back in my office and going to do another hour to get a head start on tomorrow - it's a shorter day anyway but I appear to have 3 rather large deliverables tomorrow. Yikes. I'm going to do the tick-list one tonight as it doesn't require much thinking on the creative side of my brain, which I think has gone to bed already :rotfl:

    This time next year, Rodney, we'll be millionaires!

    I'm just hoping you haven't both got the same one :rotfl: (unlikely given the geography, I know, but stranger things have happened!)

    I am trying to design a very simple cardboard tower but my brain has gone to sleep too, bossy.

    I feel I have achieved nothing today except fill out my expenses claim. My house is a tip. Oh well, I shan't have to look at it tomorrow as we're out all day - I need cuddles with now-all-smiley DGS4 :D
  • Evening all,

    Just posting list now, then going to see how much I can get rid of in about 45 mins, as I've not done much all day except for dailys and paid stuff, and a little paperwork. Yorkshirelass my towels are ALWAYS covered in toothpaste blobs due to DD2.

    Hi again,

    Had a mad hour and made the list a bit smaller. Cheated a bit by putting plants in shower instead of wiping leaves, and put oven shelves in dishwasher.
    pigpen you don't have to get married to change your name, you can just do it, to whatever you like! Although I think it's a bit more complicated with children
