rach

I went back to bed with the laptop and a cuppa in the end. Have solved the username/password mystery for my oyster card online account, which is one thing that needed to be done.Also replied to email which was in lieu of a card from my old boss. In a moment i'll find my list, can't promise to start on it just yet though...

first, to say Happy Christmas and safe and smooth travels to all who are going away today.

My room almost done. Just need to...

Put clothes away off bed
Put ribbish bags in wheelie bin
Change bed
Wash windows
Hoover


Kids room needs a quick tidy, beds changed and window washed. Then I can hoover all the upstairs and the stairs and then that should be done.
