    Thanks G&B it is not that big but we can fit a dinning table in. It is pentagonal so not the most sensible shape and has doors into the front and back gardens plus doors into the garage and family room but it does have character.

    I've finished the wall I started and am leaving the corner until the light is better tomorrow. Cooking tea now and having a well deserved glass of wine.

    Hi all :D and welcome to all the newbies.

    Polkadot - great news! Am glad you got it sorted. Think I would flip if doc said I couldn't have mine!

    MrsV - Hope move goes well.

    Hugs to all who need them.

    Today I have cleaned bedroom and landing window and bedroom mirror, washed up, done a load of washing, cleaned kitchen surfaces and hob, and emptied and cleaned bins.

    I also slept on sofa again this p.m. - not looking hopeful for going back to work next week :eek: Maybe I can persuade all the children that we all need a nap after lunch!!! (No hope, knowing my class!!).

    Ditto that G&B - when I am to be reincarnated I'm joining the cat queue!
