    I'm in for a 4-4.30 HHC but need to get ebay parcels done between picking dd1 up from school and then, have done quite a bit today though and feeling quite pleased with myself. Just sorted understairs cupboard out so I could get to double buggy as that will be needed tommorow eeek I'm gonna have 4 kids under 4 all day on tuesdays now, mind you dd1 doesn't really count cos she's at school! Going to go mop dd2's bedroom now cos she spilt milkshake all over it yesterday and I didn't have time to clean it properly!

    Hi everyone. Hope you all had a good weekend. Not had chance to catch up on the thread yet - think I'll have to do that tonight.

    Had a FAB weekend in London - we really made the most of it and went on the London eye, walked along the Southbank, went to the London Dungeons, Covent Garden, Buckingham Palace, St. James' Park, Downing Street, Big Ben, & the houses of Parliament, Petticoat Lane market and Spittlefields Market. Don't think we did too bad considering we arrived at 3.30pm Friday and left at 1.30pm Sunday!!!!! Missed the girls but we did enjoy having a little time to ourselves.

    Back to reality now. Not done the kitchen yet but have hung a load of washing out and cut the grass and done a bit of weeding at the front. Off to do the school run and then get some shorts for the race on Sunday. Bit worried though as I won't be able to run 6 miles in this heat! Love the sun but praying for 2 hours of cold, wet weather on Sunday morning!!!!

    AGA is fixed

    Spent the whole time he was here cleaning the kitchen so just floor and AGA cleaning to go. It won't be hot for tea time so sandwiches and cuppa soups for tea.

    AnW's Mum - I saw that car clamping thing - clever I say. Who's going to spend £200 to get a car unclamped when it's worth £50?!? Some jobsworth clamping his car for 2 inches... Ridiculous.

    pigpen - Sorry, Miss. I will get my list up now. I can't do any flying until I get home at 5:30 and will report all progress tomorrow, I promise.

    List to follow. *shrugs off sheepishly*
