Thanks Jassa xxx

Feel better already... Back to it then... will try to work till 1:00pm, then stop for lunch. Determined to get at least half the room done today (it's two rooms knocked through into one, but still with two distinct ends... )

Afternoon all

Living room/hall done. We had the boiler serviced in May the same as we usually do so that's ready for the heating (which we're still holding out on, that's what cardigans/blankets are for ).

I did the kitchen too so I can allow myself an easier day tomorrow. I'm back at work tonight so I'll have Corrie to catch up on in the morning and I've got shopping coming then too. So I'd rather do more today in anticipation.

It's a bit gloomy out there, something damp in the air and not that warm.

Hope everyone's OK, going to catch up a bit now with the posts.

Hope Queen Victoria will be OK Dusty.

I've also been through my concertina file and sorted everything out and hoiked out some out of date stuff and have been shredding. It's surprising how quickly it fills up again.

Kitchen nearly done, just letting the under sink cupboard dry out before I put the stuff back in.

It is raining a lot here. Funny I looked at BBC weather online last night and it was sunny and dry for my postcode, I wonder if it is that accurate!
