    Mmmmm soup was scrummy!! Had enough to put 2 portions in the freezer too!
    That's enough cleaning for my today. I'm putting my poorly ankle up and watching Extreme makeover.

    Just got to wait on my landlord, & walk the dog later.

    Hmm, not quite. Only 10 programs(not too bothered about that) but no nut/seed dispenser:mad:

    Well Hello all. Have done NOTHING on my house today. Have popped to Tesco and the children were a nightmare!!! Nt taking them both next time. They were such a pain. Any that is all put away.

    Popped round my mum's house and have had a little reshuffle in my niece's room and hopefully she will like. Will pop round there after I collect DD and DS to make sure.

    Then I guess I should sort out my house. Did the kitchen yesterday (seems so much longer than that) so will do the living room today-or some of it.


    Hugs to all those that need it and those that don't-tough you can have some anyway ;)

    Am still flying - nearly there :D

    Car isn't head gasket so that's not too bad. Seems I put too much oil in it :o but I've asked them to service her as well as she needs one - don't know what the financial damage is yet but it'll be cheaper than I thought. Should get her back later this evening.

    I have to say my mix of white vinegar, washing up liquid and water did wonders on the windows :D

    Phew that DD's room done and kids outside, time for cuppa and then start ago.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Had my Asda shopping delivered today. I ordered currants. The 500g bag showed as 20p (the 1kg bag is £1.34). I wanted them anyway so I ordered a 500g bag, happy that if they were 70 or 80p I'd still have them. Well, they turned up and they've been charged at 20p.

    So if anyone is think of ordering currants from Asda, you might be lucky too! Worth checking online if you're making an order.
