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.
