      Morning all

      Work beckons although I just wish I could stay in bed and hide all day, well hide until the weekend really. Although saying that work should prove a useful distraction this next couple of days, just perish the thought should anyone cross me!

      I have been lax with the pedometer (managed to knock it off the other day while carrying something and didn't put it back on) so will wear that and see what a work count is this week.

      Beavers and bellringing this evening when I hope to declutter a bag of clothes for rags r us and a bag of plastic for recycling. That should make the kitchen look better.

      Hope you all have a good day.
