    *yyyyyyyyyyyyyawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnnnnnnn*

    That was my jaw dislocated lol

    My neck is so stiff this morning.. it's not good..

    I need to sort my boxes of christmas presents.. they are strewn about and taking over my bedroom.. NOT good!!! I need floor and I need to order a new battery for Moomins DS lite... though I think it may be the connectors that are a touch dodgy so it isn't charging properly.

    Children to be decluttered to school and OH decluttered to the shower then I can start on mess clearance.

      Morning all.
      Well thats the bed stripped and sheets in the WM (here's hoping it stays dry so I can line dry them), and bed will be aired this morning.
      Hoovered round last night, but should not have, as back is now worse- silly me, noone to blame but myself!
      Working through my list that I posted at the beginning of the week, and managing to keep on top of things without overdoing it.
      Mum still in hospital so a bit concerned about that but otherwise things ok in OS-land.
      Hugs for anyone who needs and sorry not read thread proper yet!
