    I have found a new way to waste time - the primary have a birdbox with a webcam in - I'll say no more.

    Off to sit the sun for HH with a cuppa as recommended to me by a friend on fb.

    I have put the washing on the line (and that is it)

    Mumto5 - don't worry about what your wearing, as long as you are comfortable, stick with what you feel good in, hugs for you and I'll be thinking of you tomorrow

    Pigpen - you make me laugh - know what you mean though

    Flying - err nothing - put the shopping away

    All of the house is clean now with three mins to spare :P

    WM on, DW on and telly on hee hee

    Im going to have a wee rest then not sure whether to go to Asda or Lidl I have to pick up a bit of my prescription they didn't have in yesterday so it may need to be Lidl as it's next to the pharmacy.

    I may make a lasagne for dinner tonight. I have about six blocks of cheese to use up so will make a nice cheese sauce :)

    Am I the only one who finds the touch of grey advert slightly horrid? I don't know... it has a weird vibe!

    Nice evening watching the tv tonight! Beechwood then Kitchen gardener :)

    Enjoy the evening!

    Afternoon all

    My computer had a bit of a hissy fit this morning so if I disappear you'll know why....

    Tuesday's and Wednesday's lists both done.

    Two loads of washing done, dried and put away including the bedding. It's a lovely sunny day but a cold wind.

    Going to try to catch up while I can, hope everyone's OK.
