    Friday is Funky! - childrens rooms! ~ spare rooms or just attack a neglected room!! Done :D

    Have been up since 5am as Dad was taken into hospital with chest pains. Flying through a routine has really helped keep my mind from wandering & worrying too much.

    Morning all. Sneaking in from work so can't do the thanks thingy. Had no internet at home when I got up so couldn't post then.

    It's like a morgue here this morning. I think there are only two of us in. Just as well I'm only doing a half day today.

    Will fly when I get home.
