Hello slatterns. I hope everyone has had lots of lovely sunshine

We have spent most of the morning in JLewis, have ordered our dishwasher (we got one that had been reduced from £330 to £180 because of a little scratch on the side!) Tumble dryer! and double fridge freezer!!!! Very excited, i won't know what to do with myself when they arrive
Also got dd new shoes, 10 pairs of socks (i can never find any!) and a trike with a handle for me to push. Lovely day

This evening i have tried to do some sewing, but i physically can't concentrate in the evenings, it confuses me too much and makes me cross!! (to be honest the glass of wine probably should have waited til afterwards )

Tomorrow's list:

Everyone up
Everyone breakfast
Everyone dressed
Turn horses out in field
Tidy living room
Shake out sofa throws
Hoover living room and sofa's
Lunch
Make cake for last sewing class (on tuesday)
Muck out and exercise horses
Get home for 4pm to put roast on (never home early enough on a sunday)
Have another look at sewing and see if i can figure it out
DH take DD out on her trike while i have 10 whole mins to myself to dream about my new appliances
Eat dinner
DD bed
Wash up
