    greenbee/soappie - I'll be next on the list for that book if that's ok... :)

    Of course that's OK - I'll send it on to you once I've received and read it!

    V. dark and we have rain today. Glad I depooped the garden yesterday! I need to do more writing today if I'm to achieve my new deadline of first draft finished by New Year (I failed on the Christmas day!).

    But, I also need to be a bit more organised and fit some housework in at the same time!

    Off to jump in the bath then I'll get cracking

    Morning all :D

    Will be getting on with my list later on. Livingroom is okay apart from laundry and some clutter so it won't take long.

    First thing first though - I'm off to the doctors for 11am and I need to leave here by 10.30 so my bloodpressure won't be through the roof. :o I'm then coming back via Somerfield to see if they have any reduced bargains. ;) I'm going to try and put off going to Asda until Thursday when I'll buy some fresh stuff & things ready for packed lunches next week when I'm back at my voluntary job ;)

    Right, I best go get washed & dry my hair, dig my hat/gloves/warm coat/bag out. Would much rather just curl up in bed. :o Laters
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!
