The dress I'd planned to wear for tomorrow's presentation needs taking in by several inches and looks like a sack.

A good problem to have.

Afternoon campers, afraid I haven't really done anything much today After my early morning ironing session this morning, the sun went in and hasn't really come back. I put the washing out but I am going to have to hang it up on the airer to dry totally I haven't long had my shower either I sort of sat on the sofa for about 5 hours today, couldn't even tell you what was on the t.v. even though it was on. I think I was just sitting, if you know what I mean!!

Anyway I am now showered, have made the bed and tidied upstairs. I have washed up and eaten a fried egg sarnie. I know it's a bit late to have lunch but I am having a late tea when DH appears tonight, although it will probably only be another sandwich..lol

Oooh the asbo robin is back, he's picking up all the seed from the bird feeder. I don't think he has got the hump either as he is eating what's there - I haven't filled it up this afternoon for tomorrow yet.

Getting a bit worried as AF is a week late (never late only early believe me!)and I keep peeing, maybe that's why I am up and down with my moods. I am sure she will turn up with a vegenance when she is ready..lol And if not well I might have to butter up DH to clear out the box room quickly..lol

I've done as much as I'm going to today. I'm leaving the extras because a) they were all done recently, and with just the two of us here, are still all OK and b) I'm still feeling under par, even for me, so feel it'd be daft to do stuff that doesn't really and truly need doing.:o

Mr LW has had a weird letter, saying that he could be entitled to some money from the estate of a long-lost great-great-aunt who died 17 years ago, based on the fact that he was an executor for his mother's estate. It all looks genuine, and the facts that we're able to check all pan out, but it was a tad strange, out of the blue. I wonder, has anyone heard of a firm called Anglia Research, based in Ipswich? I've had a wee look at their website, and again, it looks OK; they claim to be specialists in tracking down correct recipients for unclaimed estates. But with so many unscrupulous people out there, you can't be too careful.;)
