Parcelled up one ebay item that I had to wash as it smelled like smelly trainers!.. so I have 2 to post tomorrow and one more that appears to have done a flit!

I'm stripping DS1's bed tomorrow and putting him his new sheets on... current sheet is cream and just revolting and his new ones are dark grey and black... I need to get him new pillows and new duvet too.

I think I need to do the Thursday rooms tomorrow, and the Tuesday room too .. and the Monday one.. lol

Scaredy.. I had 2 of mine in my bed last night.. I'm just happy they get in now without waking me.. I don't usually know they are there until I either overheat or shove them onto the floor!!! lol

Finished my cuppa now so I'm away to my nest.. see you all in the mooning!!!

Good morning everyone, hope you are all well.
It is so dark here this morning and there is a lot of rain and it's cold.
SO annoyed this morning hubby left the fridge open all night so everything is warm , so he's in trouble when he gets up.

Will update list when i wake up, need a big cuppa.

Vanilla... I'd go drag him out of bed just to yell at him!!! They are stupid creatures sometimes! My stepdad has done it a couple of times..uually when he has got some food when drunk.. but they have 6 dogs so between them they ate everything except what was in the salad box!! I hope some of it is redeemable.. it is only the meaty stuff that will be a bit questionable.. but I'd just feed it to him.. if it makes him ill it is his own fault! lol

Combing creatures then off on the school run.. I have a tesco delivery 10-12ish.. oooh need a cuppa!!!!!
