    Thanks Rosepink for the donating glasses idea and update on Hope Springs! Hope you are feeling better soon.

    Took a half day off tomorrow so can crack on with the bedroom then.

    Can't remember who mentioned shingles, but I remember my sister had it one year over Christmas, and I used to sing Shingle Bells to her for a laugh - I know I am a bad sister, ha!

    My sister had shingles in her teens which is very unusual and the only thing I know about shingles is that if it goes all the way round your body it kills you, so I kept asking her if it had gone all the way round her body yet! :rotfl::rotfl:She wasn't very amused! :rotfl:

    Just finished an unintentional HHC and got my washing hung out (was chucking down this morn but has dried up nicely now), got my loaf in the SC at last and have even re-fed my Christmas pud with alcohol and put it back in its dark place. Wishing I was the Christmas pud right now - anyone wishing to feed me with alcohol and put me in a dark place is more than welcome :rotfl:

    All the washing is dry and put away/put back on chairs.

    I've cut the grass at the back, the front is still OK. Sprayed some weedkiller outside the garden wall where the weeds are regrowing from where I got them all out a month or so ago.
