    Entered 3 days worth of competitions, shattered now. Apart from that though, not done very much to clear mortgage or clear mess in house :o.

    Back to work tomorrow :rolleyes:

    Do try to get some time whilst the last few opportunities arise for good weather (note to self to practice what I preach!), they'll be plenty of wet and cold days in December to do the comps etc. Keep up the good work.

    I know Stuart, but were mostly done 1st thing in morning & yesterday evening. I did fit some 'outside' time in, though obviously not enough to wash the car :o.

    And I got plenty exercise Sat teatime dancing round the living room at the final whistle :D

    ummm, one I didn't get round to (again!!) and I missed chances to be outside although we had lunch out in the sun. Must stop working at home so much.

    Could be worse, it could have been dancing on the table?
