    Went to see mum this morning and she was fine. I havent finished the living room tonight as Ive had a eventfull evening. Got home and couldnt find my house keys in my bag. Went to neighbours and rang everywhere Ive been today to see if they were there. Rang police then locksmith. Had searched my bag quite a few times. On the back of the bag is a zipped part I dont use. Something made me look in there and there they were. Managed to cancel locksmith. A friend has a set but is away. I was really panicking. So not much done tonight except declutter a cup of tea.

    Nightmare that! I check and double and then triple check I have keys before I leave. How strange you put them in a place you don't normally! Glad it was resolved in the end xx

  • Have done more tidying and put casserole in the freezer so that's two more freezer meals. Have also done more knitting and walking about.

    Feeling quite tired this evening which is annoying as I tried to take it easy today ready for my visit to Lady Liberty tomorrow. Have printed out the route and am determined to go tho! I'm sure I will be fine after a good night's sleep. DH was up at 6:30 so maybe that's why I'm tired, altho I managed to go back to sleep after he had left at 7:15. He's worn out as he was doing a hedge in Southampton today, so lots of traveling.

    Ishtar, I’ve got one of those lightboxes too, I think it does help a bit. How long do you sit in front of yours? I usually have a couple of hours in front of mine, as it’s quite an old model. Stupidly didn’t get round to it today tho, very bad of me.

    Hello Cally! How are you?

    Triker, hope it goes well tomorrow

    Sexy, Summer, Sunnyzo, and Frodders, how are you doing?

    Mudbath hope it goes well at the hospice tmrw, glad to hear DS is doing so well now, that’s fab news!

    Toots and AnW’s have a fab time! Are the SW’s with you?

    Hugs Thifty, hope things are better tomorrow

    Boddy glad you found your keys before forking out for the locksmith,that really would have been annoying!
