Picking plums with 4 children and 5 sheep as helpers. I use the term 'helpers' very loosely....the kids keep feeding the plums to the sheep who have now twigged how to headbutt baskets out of small people hands and get belly fulls at a time. not much wine this year then  ::)

Emptied all kitchen cupboards for a good scrub out.

  It's now 9 hours later,  given up until tomorrow. All clean but how  the !.€$ did it all fit in? Can feel the need of a carbooty for the excess.

Spent all day making a decoupage card for my 12yr old niece to decide tonight that it looks too old. The other two little cards from my boys look good  :thumbsup:

Tomorrow will start another more innocent looking fairy decoupage and will leave today's card to my other neice for a few weeks time.  ( todays work not too wasteful. )

Coughing  :(
I have had a bad cough for a week now and my throat is getting very sore.
OH had some lumps removed from his head under LA on Thursday so he's got a sore head.
So this weekend is going to be fairly subdued I think
