    Mrs MP, its been reported to the police in case there's any kind of pattern and in case it happens again. Our plan is for me to drive DH to and from work from now on so the car doesn't have to sit in the car park all day.
    Grrr :mad: on your behalf, Jazee. I hope they get the toerags.
    When Mr LW used to commute by train (when he worked in Rugby) I used to go to the station with him and bring the car back for much the same reason (also it'd have cost an arm and a leg to park it there all day).

    Big pile of shredding done (why we had a tv licence from 2007 is beyond me), and Mr LW has given all the wooden furniture a go with the orange oil polish. He even did my hazel walking sticks. :A

    Shepherd Spy has just gone in the oven, so we'll have dins shortly. Jack got the carrot offcuts (tops'n'tails) when we were making it, as he's allowed a bit of raw carrot, though no other leftovers. You'd think I'd given him something wonderful, he really enjoyed his carrot! :o
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Back from shopping trip, couldn't decide so came away with just ideas. But still very early days. She did look rather gorgeous in most but sizes don't half vary. 6, 8 or 10 depending on style.
    Took the girls for food after so it was a lovely day out.
    SPC~12 ot 124

    pigpen the only problem with putting them to bed early is that they'll wake up early tomorrow!!!!

    Well I've had a totally unproductive day, walked into town, had a hair cut, came back, snoozed, took DD to work, nipped to get some milk and mooched about on the internet

    Must do better

    Kitchen not finished so should go back in there but I'd rather do the bathroom- smaller and quicker!!!

    Need a kick up the a***!!!
    Go hopefully into each new day, enjoy something from every day no matter how small, you never know when it will be your last

    Frizzle I have got the perfect solution. I have got two teenagers who come alive at 10pm and sleep all day. You can gladly have them to babysit overnight. I swear if they wake me up tonight I will murder them.

    As you can tell I am very tired. Both jobs today, dog walking, had to go to the bank and post office then by the time all that was done it was time to make tea, back to work for an evening meeting and now I am shattered. No flying done and the kitchen floor is grubby.

    Early night I think.

    I feel sick. My own fault entirely. Chocolate Easter eggs (yes, plural :eek:). 'Nuff said.

    Not sure what the list said today, but I blitzed the caravan kitchen after running around with, for and to/from DH today. He had to see his sleep specialist in a town an hour away from his work, on a day when two people were off (one stupid teenager who claimed to have mistakenly drunk a bottle of nail varnish remover whilst in a drunken stupor over Easter, thus rendering himself poorly for today - do I believe this???) and the van was out on a long delivery. Cue Dizzy dashing to the rescue, without breakfast and battling with every single smallholding owner out with their trailers of pet sheep.....grrr....:mad: in a Force 9 storm with whinging chidlers....double grrr...:mad::mad:

    DH did arrive home with flowers tonight so must have felt guilty. :rotfl:

    Jazee - only jealous morons vandalise other people's cars. I hope the police find and prosecute whatever *bleep* did the damage. Grrr....:mad:

    Still grumpy, so off for a cuppa as I could quite easily open a bottle of wine and insert a straw!
  • Evening,

    Got bits done :

    [STRIKE]WM
    DW
    S&S
    Kitchen surfaces
    Kitchen floor [/STRIKE]
    Get rid of the evil paper pile
    Kitchen skirtings and corners
    Kitchen window
    [STRIKE]HHI[/STRIKE]

    Plus ran round every room with hoover. Now at mum and dads until Thursday night so the only flying I will do is helping them.

    Funeral today went as well as these things can.

    YL hope you got your early night, it sounded like an exhausting day x

    Hugs CY if you are reading x

    Pigpen- I didn't know that. There are so many possibilities. She was pretty chilled out until about 8.30 then had an hour of being stressed and finally fell asleep about 10 mins ago. She hasn't had a proper feed though so we will see what happens and when she wakes up!!
    YL- that could be a solution!

    I had a mad half an hour dash before boys went to bed and dusted and hoovered their rooms (they were already tidy) so pleased I could tick something off the list and then cleared the ironing pile while OH held little miss!!

    Had a lovely afternoon at the bowling alley. The boys had a free game so we had two games. They had a free treasure hunt and free face painting so a really nice afternoon. OH also won an Easter egg by getting a strike when we had the promotional pin up!

    Carryover list....
    Sort out 'new to ds1' clothes

    Tuesday - kitchen and dining room
    Clean the drawer and filter in the WM
    Clean a window to let the sunshine in
