    Sounds like you need to take it easy and only do small manageable jobs today cleosmum. Hope you feel better soon and take it as easy as pos.

    Friend has cancelled:rolleyes: Second time in the past month, which is rather infuriating as i had rearranged things so it fitted in with the day. Never mind, at least no spends on food out and transport, plus more time to catch up with my long list!

    Fay if you are reading - hope you are having a lovely time on the mainland and getting lots of stockpile bargains. It is quiet here without you:p

    Quiet day for me today so far :D have been given several easter eggs by my oldies so DD will be happy as I don't like choc that much so she will probably end up with them.
