    Afternoon all, 
    @Baileys_Babe I'm loving the layout of your lists :heart:
    @determined_new_ms Hows the toothache?
    Todays list
    :heart: checked banking/updated spreadsheet
    :heart: should have collected a mr T click and collect but last night decided to postpone it til tomorrow as I didn't actually need anything for today
    :heart: walk with ds2 - back to school tomorrow and I'll miss our daily morning walk
    :heart: checked veg/fruit to make sure nothing on the turn - tea tonight will be pesto pasta as that needs using up
    :heart: dh's had a survey come through from work,  which they all have 2 weeks to fill in... so that pushes back any talk of return to the office til October earliest. (current guidance in Wales is still to WFH if you can anyway)
    :heart: lunch was a lovely cheese and onion toastie - yum yum yum

    Ooo that's it for now as my folks have just arrived :blush:
    Take care all

    Sticking with the "Small things" thread to keep up us on the straight and narrow.

    :smiley: I also looked after my 2 dn for about 4 hours, their family is moving home and the 2 young children are bored and hampering everyone else's efforts. I enjoy their company and we haven't been able to see them much during lockdown, so it is good to spend time with them and they make me thankful that my children are older 🤣
    :smiley: Used the Lidl app and saved over £7 on the shopping
    :smiley: did a second quick wash and dried it on the line in the sunshine

    @1luckylady I thought I would try a different format to see if it helps me actually do the things I plan. I happy with how it is going so far, I just need it to continue.
