    Afternoon all :hello:

    DD said thanks for the hugs etc. She's currently laying on the sofa slowly drinking a chocolate milkshake and watching Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone ...apparently we're having a "Potter-thon" :rotfl::rotfl: Although she keeps dozing off so I'm not sure how much of it she'll actually see. I'm hoping she hit the peak last night as I didn't need any heating on in my room as she was in my bed and roasting even after nurofen! :eek: Much better today as she couldn't even swallow properly last night the poor thing.

    Managed to make a dent in the lists last night though while she was in bed so I could let her rest without disturbing her.

    Aw Im so jealous and so proud of you all at the same time- Im sitting at work wishing I could be home getting on with my lists!! :rotfl:

    Well done to all of you who have done them already :T

    Its given me so much motivation cos I cant wait to get home and do mine so I post up what Ive done!!

    I've done my daily morning chores (which is a long list) but if I dont do them in the morning, they never get done!! That means I can get on with my list while dinner is cooking hopefully and do my night-time chores after dinner! Thats my plan anyway - It remains to be seen if I can pull it off!! :rotfl:
