    Morning all, not read anything yet and I've got to rethank the people I thanked last night when the forum was going pfffttt :D

    Today's list complete Toots and also

    3. Cupboard under stairs - done

    That was fun, took everything out, sorted out extension cables etc, hung things up and put everything back in the right order so we can get to it. How long before they fling it everywhere again? Actually, I know the answer to that - DS is back down on the weekend of the 18th and will be helping DH with more train set stuff so everything will be pulled out again.

    Oh well.

    My green wheelie bin has been emptied but I don't think I'll get back to pruning yet, it's been raining most of the morning.

    Made sausage and tomato pie for dinner so I just have to switch the oven on later.

    Oh, I did a load of washing and hung it out and got it back in again and hung it round indoors, maybe it will be drier this afternoon.

    Off to try to catch up now, hope everyone's OK.

    Where's Emily nowadays?

    CV now posted on jobsite, so I'm making progress with the job hunt... problem is I now can't be bothered to read through the jobs they're recommending for me (although I did send details of one of them to a colleague :D).

    Better get dressed then...
