So far,

Done most of the washing, vacuumed and tidied house (enough to avoid getting shouted at) fed kids started on weekend paperwork.

Worked out what I need for the new fence, bid on fake grass and got kids to clean out the wendy house.

Still to do,

Finish paperwork, tidy up van, fit new carpet in wendy house

Calm wife down so she doesn't kill satan child (one she looks after not mine)

Book some work in for next week

Watch 'The Wolverine' (probably be disappointed), go to bed.

Somewhere in that I would like to clean the green algae off the car too.

Cleaning my 75 ready for it's CT, it's been outside for almost a year without moving so quite a bit of algae on too.

Waiting for some nice dry weather to change the cloth covers on my manual seats over to the leather covers off a set of electric ones that I bought off a member on here. Just hope the courier doesn't damage them on the way over here - anyone used Wheelcourier.com? They seem quite cheap..
I'm taking a bit of a punt with this as I'm not sure that this will even work, or if I'm up to the job!, but I think it's worth a shot. The leather electric ones I've bought are in lovely condition, so it would look well, if I can do it.
Also plan on doing the stainless steel handbrake compensator at the same time.

Continued this morning with the kitchen rebuild project which included painting the ceiling, now waiting for it to dry prior to replacing the blinds and light units.

Listening to the mating call of the lawn mowers and wondering if I should cut the grass........er no, wondering if I should wash the "managements" car.......er no it's hers and she gets it dirty.

Decided the better option was a couple of bottles of Cumberland ale and catch up with some forum work.
