    failed my HHc totally - might well be up for that 6.30 one at this rate - mum came round, with skirts from M&Sas there's a sale on then I had to try them then she showed me the top she'd bought herself and THAT fir me so that has stayed here too. Thet will be part of my birthday present come sept. Had a chat as have been invited to my sisters Sunday but I don't get on too well with BIL (I did something to upset him but I don't know what) THEN we looked at the wedding photos for the girl next door..
    so I still am up for a HHC.

    I am still not flying today. You don't realise how much you use an arm until you are banned from doing anything. I thought paperwork would be easy but I have given up and am thoroughly frustrated. DH has just had to make lunch for me again.

    I can start doing things gently again tomorrow:)

    Awesome! You and me Valli! Anyone else want to pencil it in?

    Just started a major clear out and I'm thinking I've bitten off much more than I can chew! Eek! :o

    Wednesday nearly done - just the sort-a-cupboard and sort-a-box-of-gibble left. Am going to do a drawer rather than a box for the latter, but am off now to lie down and try to convince the littlest to go to sleep for a while so will attempt the sortings later on.
