    Grass cut, at last... like most jobs, it isn't nearly as bad as I think it's going to be, and doesn't take nearly as long :o

    Might go and do a bit more in the garden seeing as it isn't raining!

    Actually done 45 mins so feeling quite proud of myself I can now see the floor and table top in the study which means tomorrow when I finish work I can get on with my accounts :eek: It also means that the invoices I should have given out two weeks ago (thankfully parents still paid me) and their receipts are now done and dusted as well.
    (Thanks :T Toots for motivating me)
