    Dusty hope your Nan is ok, families are very complicated
    Summermoon, guessing he's planning on sticking it out at work then :rotfl: hope the new TV keeps him quiet. Fingers crossed work flies over and you feel better soon.

    Family not answering phone so looks like tomorrow might be off, pah! Will try again this evening. Managed to actually have a soak in the bath earlier, not something I usually do but DP was in to help me in/out so thought why not, my back was going crackers so threw in a bottle of radox muscle soak.

    Big chunk of the police station now built. After my bath I spent an hour decluttering some of my bedroom :D I can now walk to my bed instead of crawling in from the end....:o got all the jobs done I wanted to, just waiting for some laundry to dry so I can empty the WM and do the next load.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    I have ironed another 10 things in my slightly longer than HHI and ..........
    the pile does now actually look at bit smaller :D :j

    I am now decluttering a chocolate orange - I figure if I declutter all the chocolate before the end of the week then it'll be much easier to stick to my diet from Monday ;)

    Greenbee - where abouts in north norfolk are your parents, cant be too far from me

    In that case, given that it's Norfolk we're talking about, we're probably related :D They're NW Norfolk... not far from Sandringham/Hunstanton/Brancaster

    Dusty - hugs and prayers for you and your nan. Families can be difficult, can't they? I often feel that I am more like my aunty than my mum as I get on much better with her at times :rolleyes:

    Going to start dinner now..........

    Oh, and do I get a medal for this post?

    ETA - Yay - a medal :j
