potatoes collected and a huge pile of logs from a friends garden - won't be ready until next winter or the one after but I love free fuel and it is so eco friendly - just the little bit of carbon to drive it round the block! Party soon for DS3. DS1 at golf lesson with OH. DS2 is a pig of a mood - might be because they lost at football - did Arsenal loose too?

Ah well all you need to do is add the things you have done to the list and then you can cross them off :rotfl: I reckon your house will have nothing left in it soon with the amount of binbags you fill

Hello Peeps

Just sat here with a :coffee: as just come back from town and Mr T's. DD is happy as I gave her a sub on her pocket money and she bought a couple of dresses (which were in my opinion hideous but her pocket money her spend) and a bargain bag from Claires. We love those 10 items for £3. I bought five bags and will use the stuff to make a bran tub type thing for her birthday party prizes. Am now officially well over my grocery challenge this month when I get around to updated it.

Pigpen Dont know anything about bunnies - sorry. Also did chuckle at you tripping over the boxes (thats what I do altho it is getting a bit better) but sorry you hurt yourself. Thank goodness the nails were ok tho!!!

AnWsmum Loved the comment about next time you see your OH. IMO its such a courageous thing to say when you have lost him. Hugs for you x
