    I have had a snooze and a bath and feel a bit more human. I gave the bathroom a quick clean and have dusted in the lounge and bedrooms. Towels and cloths in the wm. So I feel at least I've done something! I do need to wash up and portion up the pan of soup that's sitting in the fridge for the freezer.

    Quiche for dinner here with other deli bits from M&S so nice and easy :D will be the same tomorrow I imagine.

    Have annoyed HMRC completely but have also got most things sorted out.

    I popped over to DT and had a read of the lovely threads over there and was faintly amused at the apparent fact that not only am I an uneducated, sad and soul-less doormat for doing flylady but my 13 year marriage is a trust-void sham because we have separate bank accounts - how marvellous. :)

    Off to find a pillow to cry into whilst I hit the gin, so long as HWMBO doesn't mind of course :D
