Just having a cuppa and a rest. The cupboard under the stairs is looking pretty good right now. Trouble is, the living room is now trashed and full of junk!

I'm back
Although I am absolutely shattered as I was with my friend and her brood - I keep forgetting how stressfull toddlers are when they are having tantrums..lol Anyway got back here about 2ish, and went outside to plant up my veggies and herbs plug plants that I had sitting outside since Tuesday. I have plant pots all over the place now in the garden..lol Jet wasn't happy though as I had to pinch his plant pot back off him while he was playing with it..lol
I am absolutely shattered and am thinking of curling up on the sofa for a wee snooze. We are going to do our weekly shopping tonight when DH gets home from London. This way I don't have to think of a list for him tomorrow now.
Thank you so much to Toots for posting my message. I am so relieved that it was only a cyst as is DH
