Good morning,
hope you are all well, particularly Lady-L and Diva?
Oops - just knocked full mug of tea over onto computer desk, nothing seems damaged and at least I can strike off that job this week. Shame I have no milk left for more tea, sigh.

Hello Ruth, so pleased to see you back and glad you are happier about the name. I hope you are coping with the sad loss of your Mum and that the charity work hasn't taken too much from you. x
Soappie, I wish you ladies wouldn't keep tempting me, I want chickens! I need a green-faced envious smiley.
DH decluttered DS2 to school so I'm still in my dressing gown, will go and get dressed and start work, have only loaded the DW and WM so far but the sun is shining so the washing can be pegged out.
See you later xProud to have dealt with our debt. DFW Nerd 1474

I've been for a run and emptied the bins...
I'm in London for work today. Client meeting, then meeting up with a colleague who's there for a conference to get some work done, then going out afterwards. So major decisions needed on what to wear... and I need to find a bag big enough to take a change of shoes (and ideally clothes) without making me look like a bag lady at my meeting...
Luckily I don't need to take my laptop, just printouts and a notebook. I suppose I should mow the lawn before I go. I might have an hour of flying in the garden/house and then an hour to get myself sorted and leave...0 -
I dont think I'm doing so well but I'll get there!!!
You are doing fine lou just take baby steps to start with and you will soon find you are doing more and more each week:D
I haven't done anything started to tidy up after I got DS to bed last night and something in my back made a nice cracking noise now it is killing so had a lousy nights sleep to:mad: going to see if i can get something done in the kitchen in a minute need to check bank firtst.
