    Have flylady'd the flat, and there's a load of washing out to dry. I'll put another load in in a bit and get that dried too :) Have got quite a lot done already so I'm chuffed with myself. Think I'll have a read of my book later and try to finish another play, then I might do some cross stitch, not sure yet as it depends what I feel like to be honest.

    Food diary:
    B - bacon, egg and mushrooms
    L - turkey with coleslaw, apple
    D - roast chicken, roast potatoes, sweetcorn and peas

    Another lazy day to be spent indoors. I've tried to do the shred but for some reason I just can't get into it, so today might be washout on the exercise front, but I'll try again tomorrow. Need to make an appointment to see the asthma nurse, and also need to go visit the clinic (just in case and prevention is better than finding out I have something - which would be gross!)
    Also finished Red Roses for Me, about to start All My Sons, so that's me onto the fifth play :D
