    Will someone give me a kick up the backside please. All I have done so far is breakfasted everyone, put WM on and had a shower.
    I haven't even done that. I've had breakfast... answered some emails... and am now trying to summon up the energy to get dressed, do some work and go for a walk before my afternoon calls start...

    ******Monday star please (substi)Toots!*******

    Jinky - love the new avatar (or is that just on my PC?)

    Washing done, hung out and got back in again because git next door has lit his fire (he of the dead crows hanging in the tree). So much for him checking there was no washing before he lights it....

    Going to declutter the books to the booksale now...

    PS. Healing vibes heading your DB and SILs way Boddy...

    Morning all,

    Kitchen and dining all done! Star please toots

    I've made a start on the living room, dusted and polished the fireplace and put one of the throws in the washing machine. The other will go in when that's finished. Taking a coffee break then I'll do a bit more before I have to go out to get some bits and pieces for ds2's birthday tomorrow. Hopefully I'll get time to do more this afternoon.
