    Morning all

    Today's list done :)

    I've vacuumed up the stairs too while I was at it. Also done the kitchen/diner which I like to do on a Monday. I'll claim for that when it comes round. And another load of shredding - can't believe it's still coming. A load of washing out on the line and nearly dry too. Emptied all the indoor bins before black bin day tomorrow.

    Catching up now, hope everyone's OK.

    I have just decluttered loads of worries about my dissertation plan from my head :j I finally emailed my tutor with my plan this morning and he has ok'd all my ideas. I think he may be slightly confused by some of my focus as he keeps suggesting lots of things within music therapy which I am only touching but I am starting to realise is his area of expertise. Oh well, he may get the hint when I start emailing draft ideas.
