I went to Aldi this morning with my mum.
I had been carefully making a list all week so I knew exactly what I wanted. Left the house to pick up mum and realised I had left my phone behind so went back for it. Picked up mum, got to Aldi and realised I had left my list behind! It was too early to ring the girls (who were home in bed) so I did it from memory and then called L when we came out and asked her to read through the list for me. I had only forgotten two things!!
Then went for my works xmas lunch and called at Sainsburys on the way home to get the rest of the bits and pieces that I couldn't get from Lidl.
So its all now packed away.
I've got a marathon cleaning session ahead of me over the next few days. I have to don protective gear to go into L's room to get it into a state that mum can sleep in. That'll take a whole day.
