    Morning all

    It's turning into a lovely day. I've got two loads of washing out on the line.

    I did all the bedrooms together on Wednesday Toots :)

    I've dusted the living room and computer desk and vacuumed right through downstairs.

    Made a cottage pie which will do me for today and tomorrow. DH has gone fishing for the weekend so it's just me, two cats and a senile dog. At least we don't make much mess!

    I took the dog out too.

    Woke up this morning with two scratches on my arm, just below the elbow. One hardly there but the other one is sore and has been bleeding. DH swears he didn't beat me up in the night, and I'm sure I would remember! I was dreaming about one of my cats and it was all a bit odd and surreal so I suppose I somehow scratched myself. Weird.

    Hiya Quillion, nice to see you!
    I'll join you for your HHC, will do the living room and bathroom (can't hoover as a certain someone is still in bed feeling rather worse for wear after his birthday celebrations).
    See you in 30 xxx

    Lol, you wouldn't be if you'd seen me! One of the exercises involved jumping up and down and my tummy's were hitting together. I could hear slapping noises! :o I hate getting all hot and sweaty too, which is why I normally avoid exercise like the plague. I didn't make it through the whole workout, but some is better than none I guess! :cool:

    Going to watch a bit of TV and then have a look at my lists. Have decluttered the LR floor to make space for me to workout.

    I did this once, altho I was awake. I didn't realise that I had a jaggedy nail and scratched my arm. It's still scarred. ETA: Just realised how that sounds. I'm sure yours won't scar! Hope it heals up soon!

    I can't believe it's two years since Maddy went missing. I spose it must be, it was 2007 the same year I got married. I hope she is out there somewhere and that they find her one day. Unlikely I know, but we can all hope.
