Morning All

Lots to do today I think.

LR needs gutting
BR needs gutting
WM x ?
TD x ?
HHI x ?

So I may make a start in a minute!

Just caught up with the thread - can't remember any of it - but hey!

Well done pigpen on making a decision - sounds good!

Michelle - hope you're feeling better soon - it is hard work and it was around now that I started feeling depressed I think as I just felt that there weren't enough hours in the day - DS was always feeding - DD wanted attention - it does get better - just try and take it easy and don't worry if things don't get done!

Right I'm going to empty and reload the TD, empty sand reload the WM, put some dishes away and wash some more!

Have a good day all

Morning all

Hope those who indulged in a lot of falling down water last night are not feeling too hungover this morning.

Mozzy - hugs being sent you way to your family - hope you all recover soon.

Lovely sunrise this morning - there's just a little bit of low mist hanging about and some interesting gold and yellow tinges to the sky. Looks like it'll be a nice day today. I'll get my bedding in the wash in a moment.

I am wilfully ignoring the squeakend list - it includes the X word! I think, instead, today will be spent trying to find somewhere to stay on my week off and sorting through my research to see what final snagging I might need to sort out.
