    I'm back from my trip to Next, managed to take back jeans and 2 items I ordered in sale that I didn't like, plus change 2 pairs of sandals for the girls! Did a bit of browsing and was good only bought 2 pairs of bright pink crocs for kids total of £11:D DD2 loves hers and has been wearing them since

    Hi

    I've done loads today because i made myself get my dailies and flylady list done before we went in the garden.;) Then Ds2 decided after 20 mins he'd had enough and wanted to go back in:mad: this was after i'd filled his paddling pool.:rolleyes: So i did nothing at all in the garden except read the new Avon book.

    Hugs to Dusty well at least it can't get any worse.:rolleyes:

    Pigpen i'm up for a HHC 1.15-1.45 was that right?:confused:

    next HHC 1:15-1:45pm.. come on.. just swilling a cuppa before I get on..

    in the last half hour I have
    1. put on 2 more loads of washing,
    2. rescued a basket of dirty stuff from upstairs including 7 towels from DD1's room :eek:!! No wonder there are none in the cupboard.
    3. Folded 2 lots off the line and
    4. hung another 2 out
    Why is the laundry doing so time consuming? I have another hour before the next 2 lots are done and I'll have to do this again..

    Oh.. I glued my nail back together again as well.. that'll be replaced on Friday :D It should *touch wood* last until then!

    Littely dropped at nursery. Lunch scoffed - forgot breakfast. Popped into shop that sells bedding plants and all sorts of other stuff but they dont take debit card payments and couldnt be bothered to walk to other end of high street to cashpoint so he can stick his plants:p . Will drag DH to garden centre after work on Saturday - hopefully.

    Will join you in HHC from 1.15 to 1.45. Not sure whether to attack the lounge carpet with the shampooer - was gonna do tomorrow while little at nursery but have driving lesson booked for then now:confused: .

    I can do the lawn when the kids are about so think that is the plan. I also need to list some ebay stuff, oh my shampoo the M&P babyseat I want to sell too whilst the machine is out.
