    Morning all

    One load of washing out on the line, it's lovely and sunny but cold - heavy frost this morning. I've got the washing machine on hot with soda crystals and vinegar now.

    Vacuumed living room and right through downstairs and did the stairs too. My spare room is full of stuff from the loft - the bathroom is being started next week and they will need access to the loft so we've had to move out half of it. I'm glad I can just shut the door.

    One of the kickboards in the kitchen was lying on the floor this morning - weird. Anyway told DH about it and he looked almost interested and then did nothing. So I put it back myself, had to find another screw that fitted but it's back now.

    Waiting for Asda delivery now. Can't even do the spuds for dinner until that comes.

    Had a horrible fall yesterday and couldn't get up so the ambulance was called. No real damage, just bruised and arm feels like it has been yanked out of its socket. Knees are the worst though, the extra stress on them when I tried to get up means today I can barely walk. Still, it could have been worse I guess.

    Have a JCB in the road today, removing a huge tree stump from our garden which the neighbours are chainsawing and taking what they want for firewood and the rest will go in a skip this afternoon. My legs won't allow me to get downstairs so I missed out watching all the fun, but we do have photos so shall enjoy seeing them later.

    *Hugs* to all and hope you all have a good day flying!
