    Good Morning everyone.

    An early morning as Im working today. Just decluttered my breakfast and fed the cat.

    Im reading some books by Martha Beck. Ive read 2 and halfway through the third. She is a life coach but the first 2 are about her life. She was brought up in the Mormon church. They are about how and why she broke away from the church. Also about the spiritual things that happened to her before her son who has Downs Syndrome was born and what a special child he is.

    Right I had better get sorted. Hope any poorlies feel better and hugs for everyone.

    Mudbath Im going to try and get that one by Kate Atkinson.
    lil_me Its lovely of you to offer the SW books. Its ok I have got a few and going to the group but thank you for the offer.

    Morning All

    I sort of lost most of yesterday. We went to the pictures, saw some old friends there who I hadn't seen for about 3 years so we went to MacDs with the for lunch, then I went to Morrisons and then Lidl to do the food shopping. My feet were aching when I got in and my ankle feels a bit sore this morning so I don't know what's up with that. Anyway, needless to say I ended up doing nothing yesterday.

    I'm going to put the washing on the line in a min as currently it's not raining - not sure how long for though. I've also got a pile of washing-up to do and the house is generally like a pigsty! I've got loads of washing to do as well.

    I'm going to do a HHC to make a start while all you lot are still in bed!

    Have a good day all

    I have washing on the line but it's bound to rain very soon so I don't know whether it'll actually dry. I've also reloaded the WM and washed a load of dishes. There are still pots and stuff to be washed but I can't fit anything else on the drainer - I don't think any washing up has been done since Wednesday:o.

    Ahh Lady-Liberty I know exactly how you feel! Our little kitties get up at about 6am every single day and then proceed to fight and cry outside our bedroom door!
    And as OH sleeps through anything, I have to get up to feed them! Grr :mad:
