    Morning everyone. No noise from next door but woke at 2am and it took me ages to get back to sleep. Will catch up this afternoon on my sleep before my night shift. Shopping done. One load of washing just finished. Recycling out. Dailies done. Going to hang the washing on the airer then do the bathroom list. Jake came back this morning and I gave him a big hug.

    Have got a mixture of feelings about retiring next week now. Im sad but also know it will be a weight off my shoulders. Ive also got butterflys when I think of my last day. I get a present off the trust so have picked a small tv for the bedroom. Thats arriving at work on Monday. Its going to be a funny week.

    AnWsMum and Mudbath. Enjoy your holidays.
    LadyL Hugs.
    Toots glad you had a lovely time.
    Soappie Not a pleasant job you have there.

    Soappie - don't look!

    I've wrapped a load of Christmas presents so Dh can put them up the loft in a box whilst DH has been sorting some stuff out in the loft and I've helped him get rid of a load. 8 bags have now gone to the charity shop and I'm just going to get myself sorted and go and do some shopping ON MY OWN! DH is going off with the kids so I get some peace.
