    Morning all, well we were hoping to get out somewhere today but OH has hurt his back.

    I'm not feeling too brilliant either but we have 3 days before everything is back to normal ish and there are a few outstanding jobs I'd like done.

    The back garden cleared of rubbish, outstanding dump stuff, recycled bottles and jars and these bluddy roof panels that OH has had for 6 years because they may 'come in useful'.:rolleyes:

    The detritus from the front garden from where we chopped the trees and bushes down.

    Our bedroom shifting about a bit.

    So I'll make breakfast and get on with it.

    Pigpen, I'm looking at next week hun for a coffee and a chat, is that ok with you. I'll be [STRIKE]finally able to get some head space[/STRIKE] free then.;):D x

    I'll join you - need to hoover through upstairs & spritz the bathroom,

    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.
