    - Pay the VAT
    - Vacuum DS room
    - Take my library book back and fetch a new one
    - Look at our household budget again - why oh why does money seem to leak from our account?
    - Clean the outside windows downstairs

    WM is doing its thing, I have just unloaded the DW. Eggs for brekkie

    Hugs all round xx

    It's an essential life skill that only comes with practice so put a roller in his hand and tell him to get on with it!

    Yesterday we went to DS2 and family for lunch. In the evening I removed the spring bulbs from the tubs and replanted them with petunias. The snails were out in force after I watered them :(
    I managed to finish both of my posters.

    - put down slug pellets
    - send DH on an errand to next town
    - check finances
    - WMx2
    - clean all through the house
    - email DS2, DS1 and P
    - phone HMRC re download
    - text T
    - update my phone diary
    - wrap presents
    - sort clothes etc for packing
    - U3A Quiz Group this afternoon
    - Old Wives Group this evening

    Must get moving! Hope everyone has a good week x

    You know that I mentioned the mammogram? In my head it was Thursday (as per original appointment) At 7 this morning I suddenly thought that, actually, it might have been today. It was! Fortunately I made it in very good time and was back home st the time I should have been been having it! Then went to pick up friend-who-has-gone-on-holiday's duvet and dropped it into the laundrette so she'll come home to a freshly-laundered duvet!

    Many thanks for the hugs. I have a headache (no doubt stress-induced) but I have pegged out Wm x 2 and done DW. Your support and friendship is much appreciated. On the plus side at least you don't have to see me walking round with a face like a wet weekend!
