    I've decided to defrost my freezer - anyone got a quick way of doing it? It looks like it's got a plug in the bottom so I assume that's to let the excess water out.

    Think I may be going to deceased by lunch time!

    Please don't do that or like toots says at least start the new thread :p Hope you start to feel better soon xx

    Serena GO AND GET YOUR PLANNING DONE NOW! Your light is still on.

    Back from church, going to mow the grass whilst it's nice and perhaps more importantly while it's dry!

    Need to keep an eye on time though, can't be late for ringing this afternoon.

    The floor :D (Pigpen's logic works... once you get used to her little peculiarities :p)

    :rotfl::rotfl:And there was me thinking it was where you kept the pet food... doh! still, at least I vacuumed out under the stairs because that is where we keep ours... :o

    Thanks for the link Triker... and for the other stuff, WTG...

    Up early, have done 1 1/2 hours of accounts while watching the GP so December all done now, Just Jan Feb and March to do, but as they are virtually done, it shouldn't be too bad - going to get on in a bit...

    DD & DS taken to pictures to see 'State of Play' special free preview tickets from Film First (it doesn't open until Wednesday) - I was going to go but would rather have the piece & quiet for a couple of hours...:rotfl:

    Dogs fed, garden cleared of poop, front room re-tided, and I'm about to go make my bed, then on with my list...

    Ohhh, and I sold something already on EBay - very happy now that I made the effort... 2 more things have been bid on, so more will go - and that's only after 3 days... must try to get some more on there this afternoon... ;)

    Right, MO477 - you have inspired me and I will be sorting my stuff out too - may even do a diary! :rotfl:

    See you all in a bit with my list...

    I have achieved nothing today... and am very annoyed with myself. I'd planned on going on a 5 mile charity walk that a friend organised today, but got the time wrong, so have missed it.

    I've also been eating rubbish all weekend, which makes me lethargic, so I really need to get my act together. The house is relatively tidy (although there is some ironing to do, and the floors kitchen floor could do with a hoover), but the garden needs a lot of effort and the fresh air and exercise might help. More importantly I think I need to make an effort to see people more often - I definitely get down when I spend too much time on my own :rolleyes:

    Why not take the radio and a cuppa in the garden and potter a bit? That always cheers me up...
