    Evening everyone,
    Today I will:
    • had a NSD
    • go back into work for the evening, no overtime, unfortunately, but will take the time back on Friday
    • prep for tomorrow- load car etc
    • get washing done and hang out on the line (I thought I had the laundry basket emptied, but it has mysteriously filled up again today :rolleyes: )
    • deal with some overdue paperwork tonight
    That's it, hope everyone is making the most of the weather!

    Sorry you've not had a good day, Sophiesmum, hope it improves now!

    Glad to hear the puddy-tat's ok, BACW, always a worry when they're unwell.
    I'm an adult and I can eat whatever I want whenever I want and I wish someone would take this power from me.

    Had the day off today, so Ive made two cakes (8 inch Victoria Sponge) that people have been pestering me to make them, they are paying £3 each cake!
    The best bit is, they say (im not blowing my own trumpet!) the cakes are that good I could sell them, so maybe that could bring in some extra money!?sport-smiley-001.gif
