Saturday I went for a longish walk 6km thats long for me at the moment then I hung out the rest of the washing and WRAPPED the teachers pressies and did some reading SAMUEL stayed in PJ's all day rather tired!!!! Lost his voice too!!!! Then I ironed all the stuff I had washed then realised I had missed the timeline for My sisters keeper movie and was rightly pissed off.Did a nice savoury macaroni cheese for dinner with garlic bread.
