    Have spent what feels like HOURS cleaning up DH's office and my office - V. Important meeting tomorrow afternoon so wanted place to look a little bit tidier than usual chaos LOL!

    Must apologise for yesterday's absence - I read all the posts but had a "Black dog on shoulder" kind of day and really didn't want to burden you all with it. Business worries..........still, hopefully tomorrows meeting will be positive.

    Huggles to all who need them........will call in again later.

    That ol' Black Dog was sitting on my shoulder all day yesterday too Menolly Hope you've sent him off for a long walk today!!! I'm hoping mine has gone for now, as I'm much brighter today. (((hugs))) to you though.
