    Had another good day today - school run, helped at church, got back and did all my dailies, shone my sink and cleared all the worktops (even moved stuff so did it thoroughly!), helped at school, did all my ironing, did tea and mopped the kitchen floor. Everything is tidy in the kitchen and it looks so much better.

    Felt really down last night and the dark feeling was with me this morning, but slowly it lifted and I'm feeling much better again now. I've had a lovely evening just sat knitting more of DD's cardigan whilst watching NCIS!

    See the bathroom's come around for tomorrow; should be fine. I've already done some bits from level 2 but am only doing level 1 tomorrow. Up to school for a numeracy meeting first thing whilst DS at pre-school, so then will do what I can for the rest of the morning before collecting His Highness!

    Hugs to all xx

    Thanks Lady L, LO is doing ok. Was only popping in today as i had a day off to take LO to hospital for a check up and new cast fitting. Dont have time otherwise unfortunately. Really missing everyone and reading about what you have all been up to:o Will be back in a few weeks
    Hi GnB :hello:
    Thanks for dropping in. Look forward to having you back with us.
  • Very quick post - my laptop has died, so may not be back online for a few days whilst I get something sorted. Will keep flying..see you all soon,

    Moam
    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.
