Hello
Taken me a while to get going today.....it's so dark here & chilly, but at least dry......that should keep soappie happy

Well this afternoon, it's cold, wet and VERY dark here. Almost as dark as night. I've had to put the lights on.

Feeling a bit blurgh still with a throat that can't decide whether or not to be sore so I'm going to ignore the flying this afternoon and just curl up by the radiator with the laptop and write.

Afternoon campers, ok that's it I've had enough of piddling about doing nothing all day except play Farmville and Cafeworld on FB. I have a serious case of CBA, I really really do NOT want to do any housework. My living room looks like a tip, christmas decorations and boxes everywhere, and tree needles on the floor. I really must make it look more habitable..lol

Will do a bit of the list then pop on here and write down a proper list etc..

Anyone up for HHC at 3.45pm? I need motivation..HELP!!

Natty68

oh well looks like it is only little me on the HHC.. See you in half hour - I promise I won't spend it on FB lol
