    Morning everyone.

    Just catching up before I nip out for my shopping. Then will start the list when I come back.

    I want to do a list of all my important phone numbers, account numbers, policies etc to put in a file. Ive been meaning to do it for ages. One of my fellow greeters has suddenly had a stroke. I thought if something happens to me no one knows these things.

    Take library books back
    Grocery shopping.


    CONGRATULATIONS AUNTIE PIGPEN! ALSO CONGRATS TO YOUR SISTER AND BROTHER IN LAW.




    rach Congrats to DH on passing his exams.

    skipsmum Hugs.

    Toots Im trying not to have sweets or chocolate too. I did have a square of choc with mum though. Oddly I went off choc when I had the flu last week.
