    Living room all done except the vacuuming, which I can't do as the cats are asleep in there. I've offered the curtains on Freegle, and hopefully have a taker so hopefully they'll be out of the house soon. I'm staying over at a friends for the rest of the week, Granny sitting, as my friend is away. Not sure I'll get much done now until Saturday.

    Congratulations to Ragz, and hugs etc to all who need them!

    I'd leave it off for longer if I was you. They will often start and then give up if they are turned on when still damp. Leave it open somewhere warm to dry - if there is moisture still inside it will rust and then not work.

    Dinner done

    Cub and Football runs to do next.

    Leeds v Spurs tonight - we have supporters of both in our household :eek:

    Hi everyone!
    Am determined to get on to my half hour exercise tonight! Something's got in the way every day for nearly two weeks now (from working late to hangovers!) so tonight I will do it! Weighed myself when I got in from work as well and I've finally lost a pound so feeling inspired to keep it going! *runs off to update signature!*

    I'm trying to think of a nice plan for Valentine's day for a nice treat for us both so will get on with that also and decided it's time to commit us to going to see the friends we met in South America last year in California so will try and find the cheapest flights - then I've got something to look forward to other than work... sleep... work... sleep... and so forth.

    Wednesday ~ Master bedroom
