    Well my HHWU didn't happen as OH and MIL were talking in the back garden and I joined in. Did however make up my lunch for Monday minus the soup which has yet to be made.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

  • Afternoon all - after lots of procrastinating, I've finally recorded my TMA (and accidently wiped the best version, wouldn't you know :rolleyes:) - now have only got to work out how to send it, then I'm cooking on gas :D

    Feel much better after 2 days of lie ins, and am almost cheerful about the prospect of getting up at the crack of dawn tomorrow to let 3 plasterers create mayhem (well I did say almost).

    My friend has made me a Bach remedy to pep me up so I'm taking that with crossed fingers. Hope to be around more next week.

    Hugs to everyone on here - haven't had chance for a catch up yet, will try at work.

    Best get some slap on and into my uniform - have a good 'un girlies x
    I'd rather be watching CSI!

    elly - you're doing fantastically well... much better than me :o

    12 chocolate cupcakes made, 2 chocolate cakes in the oven. Kitchen, hall and loo floors hoovered (will mop after lunch). Washing on line (one lot done, one lot still drying)... I'm not doing anymore until this lot is dry, although I do need to start soaking some of the really grubby things :rolleyes:

    Off to do some washing up while I wait for the cakes to finish, then lunch, floors and yet more laundry...
