    Not sure if we'll get through everything tomorrow but we'll give it a go because i want to try and get away with level1 or 2 all next week so we can spend half an hour each night in the building site that was a study and then do a 'proper ' week after that and then another 'lazy' week so we can spend half an hour again each night this time clearing what will one day be my utility - at the moment there's no cupboards, no plaster but there is a wm, dw and td, you just take your life in your hands every time you try to get to them:confused: - unfortunately money ran out before we got old study ( i would one day love this to be an ensuite) and utility finished or even started properly.

    Everything i want clean and tidy is - rest of the family is out so i'm having a nice relaxing evening until they're back and then i'll get the wm on.

    hope everyone is well

    I managed to catch my fingernail when I was shopping - the staff in the shop were great and dressed it for me - but I have just looked at it and the nail was broken right across so I had to pull it off :( Not happy - it'll take ages to grow back :( quote]
    I had a bad time shopping today too - the stupid shopping basket (which I got instead of a trolley so I wouldn't buy too much) stabbed my hand and made me bleed! :mad: I complained at the checkout and made them take it out of service! I'm sure I'll live tho! Your nail is worse, it's so painful when that happens.
    Not done any flying at all today, going shopping took it out of me and I've been asleep all afternoon trying to recover. :o
