Well, hey! As I have probably mentioned on several occasions, my kids are away at grandma's this week, along with the hound. I'm still working, but it feels like a massive holiday. As I didn't have to make anyone's dinner, or take anyone to an extra curricular activity, I took an after-hours trip to TKMaxx and Homesense one evening (my local ones are next door to each other, and sister companies) and had a good old rake about.
