    booked a van for Tuesday to clear MIL's house.
    OH's brother is on holiday so can't help so we are a bit screwed for man-arms when we go.. I'm useless.. I'm just going to cry on cats I know this. I am really stressed about introducing Thomas to my lot.. I really wish I had somewhere safe I could take him.

    I have several empty boxes for stuff. I am needing to empty the backroom.. that is where everything is going.. but I also need to clear the hallway or it won't all fit through into the back room.

    I need some firmer sheeting for the cat pen too.. I will look at that now I think.. get a price.

    14 items listed on Vinted.. I have sorted a huuuuuge box into 3 small boxes for Vinted and a binbag for CS, a few bits for Twinkle to grow into and a couple of bits for DD1.. I found some brand new trousers in her favourite style.. they are too short for my.. plus I'm too fat for them and don't care enough to starve myself to death.

    I have cleared both airers
    4x WM .. all outside on the line.
    2x DW

    I have 5 large boxes to flatten so we can take to MIL's. with tape!

    Bought OH a sack barrow.. I am getting him a spade for our WA in May.. it's our 6th so 'iron' .. so he can have a spade! lol..

    I WILL make a difference to this hovel this weekend!

    When I became entitled to the senior railcard I felt sooooo old. I really don't see myself as a 'senior'! It's all a big mistake - don't they know I'm 38. :D  Lovely old church by the way and a very nice flower arrangement.


    I had a terrible night's sleep last night and so got up very late, which put me well behind schedule. I had a lot to do because we have friends coming tomorrow for Easter Day lunch. Eventually I got myself into gear and went out for the paper and to deliver and Easter Egg, then I came back, made lunch, WUPA lunch and A's breakfast things. The Waitrose delivery then arrived and I put it all away.

     I then went to the butcher for the lamb. I went to one further away than the one I normally use because their lamb is so good, but a road closure meant the traffic was horrendous and on the way back I had to make a significant detour to avoid most of the jams. On the way I called in at Waitrose as there were a couple of important things missing fromt he delivery. Once I got home I cleaned the bathroom, did three loads of washing and several of TD'ing.

    I made supper and WU then made the experimental 'mousse trifle', including making the apricot mousse.  I've more or less made up the whole thing out of my head but hopefully it will be ok. If not, they can have some tinned fruit and cream lol. I finally tidied the table (my hand was forced by needing it to be cleared for tomorrow's lunch) and have set-up A's breakfast things on a third of it.

    Anyway, it's now, just gone midnight, which is really just gone 1am as the clocks go forward tonight, so I'd better get to bed as I have to be up before 7.30 to go to church.

    took advantage of the sunshine yesterday and cleaned the kitchen and bathroom as i could jettison mats outside and have doors and windows open to speed floor drying.  Went to butchers for meat for today, Sainsburys for bits and the feed merchants for a sack of rabbit food.  (not in that order).   Brought in washing and ironed it.

    Happy Easter to those of you who celebrate.
