    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!

    In sympathy, I hasten to add... small flat, lot of stuff... when one set of workmen came, only place the bicycle could go was in the bath. Until they needed to work above the bath!:rotfl:

    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 :)

    In that case Froddy... is there somewhere better/easier to meet between you and me? It looks as if my walk isn't going to be QUITE the marathon we'd originally envisaged so hopefully I won't be too exhausted!

    No idea off the top of my head - soappie are you up for meeting somewhere else?

    I've got to go in 10 minutes to meet juliejim so I'll have to catch up later to see if anything's been decided.
