    Morning all

    Raining here so two loads of washing hung upstairs. Doesn't feel quite as cold as yesterday though when I had to give in and put the heating on for a couple of hours.

    Veggies prepped for roast dinner today. DH watching MotoGP :( Boring. Must be up next door, I can hear Girls Aloud.

    I feel restless but don't know what I want to do.

    Hope the meet goes well.

    Take is steady Toots.

    :hello: Morning Toots. Glad your back. You take it easy laying that carpet today. Is there really no one that can give you a hand?

    Well have achieved a bit so far today.

    I've made my bed, stripped DD's to air everything. Don't have to make it up though cos she's still away for a couple of days.
    I've sorted all the dirty washing into a huge mountain:eek: Will sort it into piles later when I feel like it.

    But I think I might clutter off now and have a kip. Still so tired after working yesterday.

    TTFN

    Im sitting here laughing at a mental image of pigpen and Triker in disguise sneaking up to everyone. Big hats and sunglasses come to mind.

    I was thinking more along the lines of a fake beard and orange overalls..
