Hello again!

Glad to see you are keeping up the good work while I am drinking gin relaxing on holiday!

Hi bessie hope you're having a good holiday

Morning routine
4 loads of laundry
S and S'd bathrooms
Excersise, I did about an hour and twenty minutes brisk walking, although I may have slowed down just a little during the last 20 mins, just a little bit.

Have just squirted Veet in DD's bathroom basins, they appear to be using Those as bins

Tomorrow I need to prep the house for estate agentes to show lots of people around on Saturday, Friday they are coming to tell us what still needs getting rid of. DDs have a hockey match early Saturday, natch. I need to call the vet to book dogs in for Friday night/Saturday.
