    Evening all,

    I'm a bit worried about my Rabbits, my neighbours had fireworks earlier and it's too dark in the garden to check on them ( i can't seem to find a torch anywhere). I
    just hope they weren't too scared. I'm borrowing an indoor cage for them for Saturday so i can bring them in.

    Morning All

    I'm coming down with a cold so I'm not impressed - last night I just sat in front of the TV as I felt shattered and my head felt as if it belonged to someone else - which it still does - but hey ho.

    Not got any further with the lists but will hopefully get some stuff done tomorrow although I'm not sure what DH has got planned as we are kid-free from 10 - 7.30 as they are at Beavers. We never have a kid-free day!

    Hope everyone's feeling better today and healing vibes to those who need them.

    Going to load TD, WM and do a HHI now.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Jue

    Oh, so it is :rotfl:. Think I'll shut the blinds again!

    Right, off to start the big declutter of the kids to school and S&S the bathroom when they've finished spitting their toothpaste everywhere but in the sink!
