    Evening everyone.

    Toots Happy Birthday! :bdaycake:
    valli Hugs for you and the family of the man.
    penpen Great to see you back.
    SS Big hugs.

    Been off list today. The electrician came this morning so I have hoovered right through the house when he left and cleaned some of the carpet. Dailies done and bathroom cleaned after my shower. New light shade put up. Went into town and a shop that sells outdoor clothes is closing down so got some bargains as everything was half price.

    Big hugs for everyone who needs one and hope any poorlies feel better soon.

    As well as a headache and blurry eye, I've moved my neck funny and something went ping and now it hurts. I'm also shivery and achey.

    On a more positive note, DH has decided that he needs to look for a job as opposed to being self-employed. His truck is going to cost £600 to fix and that's just a temporary measure :eek:and he's realised that his job just isn't bringing in enough money, so will be looking for a paid job working for someone. I've been looking online and it looks promising. Hope so anyway! I feel for him, it will be the first time he's had a boss ever! Apart from his Dad anyway. I think he's quite nervous. He's never ever been on a job interview.

    Flying: I've cleared up about half of the mess under the sofa, so am pleased with that. I still haven't washed up tho. Really will try to do it this evening.

    Tomorrow, need to finish off under sofa and hoover it. Need to find DH's tax return and make two phone calls.
    Ummm, I'm bored. What can I do?!!! That doesn't cost money! In the drizzly, cold, cloudy Devon day that we're having :undecided

    You could always go to the amazing, wonderful Orchid Paradise, which only costs £2.50 to get in. We went last week.

    Thanks for your nice comments about DD Rosepink. Sorry to hear you had a bad nights sleep...is there something on your mind? You might not feel particularly down and the moment but I find I have dreams like that when I've got a problem that needs resolving.
    Yeah, that could be it actually. And I think I'm going down with this bug DH has had. Nearly cried watching the news today, that story about those beautiful children who got strangled by their dad who then took an overdose. So sad.

    Well thanks a bunch Rose - just what I needed an excuse to spend!

    Don't blame me! or if you really want to spend some money, fancy a knitted cushion cover...should be ready in about six months! :rotfl:
