  • @Cumbria @Nicnak I'd better buy all the tea towels in the shop for DS3 then!

    DH has a meeting this morning and DS3 has a contact lense review. I'm going with them as I forgot some stuff from B00ts. I want to walk home from the shops so I fit my exercise in, so I'd better not buy anything heavy!

    After lunch we'll go to the supermarket and finally get DS3's plates, and tea towels. Then this evening the five of us plus my stepdad are going for a meal using Mr T vouchers to celebrate DS3 going off to uni.
