    Thanks Natty, I'm in!

    LW - The walkies plan is a good one! I try to do the same with Zack when I can't take him out for one reason or another. An hour running around the house and garden seems to wear him out better than an hours walk in his lead.
    MMM - glad you're feeling better
    Frizzle - glad to hear your cat is feeling better

    Hugs, sticks, spoons & vibes to all

    Today is errands day. I have to go to town to the bank, and then spend, what to me is, a lot of money on DD's buspass, nieces birthday gift, new trainers for me (mine have worn through again!), and various other bits and pieces :( I'm hoping to get done and dusted fast...but we'll have to see.

    WM & TD already been on, just waiting for them to finish then we'll leave as the shop DD wants to go to opens at 8.00 ;) Flying will be done later if I have the energy. :p

    Me again. Really pleased with what I've achieved this morning but not sure if I can keep up the momentum for the rest of the week.

    I've cut the grass, got third lot of washing in the machine and from the kitchen list I've cleaned the shelves and contents, also wiped the windowsill and pictures and dried up the dishes so the sink and draining board are now nice and clean.

    Tomorrow I plan to concentrate on the bathroom.

    Paid stuff now, new boss, possibility he will be harder work than the last one.

    Catch you all later.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Washing on line (towels and cleaning cloths, done on a HOT wash) and *fling* finally got rid of the old rabbit hutch. (Listed it last year on FB, decided not to list again until after Easter as I didn't want someone to buy it for a spur-of-the-moment bunny buying decision) *kerching*

    Off to work shortly.

    Having a tough time atm.

    Fluttering as and when I can this week, as most of my energy will be taken up with looking after Ollie.

    Mr LW has finally managed to cut the back lawn (not his fault - the weather's been against us) so it'll be easier to poo-pick. :T

    Just going to have a cup of coffee, then off for our mid-day perambulation.

    Thanks for the support Lynne and Nicki I feel a bit mean just keeping him to the garden, but he really does get much more exercise off lead in the garden than walking the Redways on his lead; and I'm not risking getting pulled off the buggy. :o We shall take his ball out with us, he likes that. ;)
    Btw, he's five years old, and "entire" so you can imagine, he's quite a handful to deal with! :D

    I have cleared out three cupboards in the kitchen. Some stuff chucked, some for charity shop and some has been moved around to make better use of the space. They look much better and less cluttered. A few ood stuff chucked and a couple of bits left on the side to remind me tO use up! A banana and walnut cake and rice crispy cakes for the kids will be made tomorrow!!! Lol!!

    We are just in our way back out to a swimming lesson for little miss!!! Can't wait!!!!
