    Morning, went AWOL last week as i lost all motivation. Need to get back on track though as have visitors this afternoon:eek:

    Hope everyone is ok as i havent read any of last weeks thread really, maybe the odd page or 2.

    Big hugs to all those that need them.

    Had a very stressful weekend, my uncle was found dead on saturday:( My poor gran found him, the police doctor said he died at least a week ago but probably more like 2! Waiting on post mortem results to see what happened, he was only 59.
    Need to keep busy today.

    morning all

    just drinking my cuppa before setting off to my course. Feel ok enough to go I think. Not pleased as DH woke me at 5am as apparently I was snoring/making noises! Not sure what he expects when I've still got a cold etc. Didn't sleep properly after that. He has been made to feel very guilty!

    I will do the kitchen tonight, or maybe I'll make DH do it as penance!

    Have a good day all. xx

    Morning all,
    Ok, I am in, but my back has been givoing me grief all weekend :confused::confused:, and tbh still is today. As it is kitchen however I should manage a lot of it so am being optimistic. Please though, if you see me slacking......don't kick me up the bum as it might just be me having to take time out.
    Anyway, 'nuff waffle, better get moving.......
