    Oh dear, you may not want to talk to me now. Didn't see this before! Have tests to mark, there's dedication in my procrastination.

    All I have done today is declutter and clean the utility room, it did take 2 1/2 hours though:o Needed to do it though so we can fit in the freezer we got off freecycle.

    Decluttered the dogs energy for an hour and a half this morning so they are happy.
