List found
still not fully read the last thread but I did see Piggers update well done honey and Hex2 you take it easy.
Have a few extras to do today like washing. Managed to wash and dry 3 loads when I got home so about the same needed today. I kept going with my going out thing while I was away and even managed a shopping trip to the general store but it's been taken over and they no longer sell flowers/plants/veg etc so I bought myself 4 microfiber dish towels instead! Came home to find something has eaten my blackcurrents and I'm gutted about that this would have been our first crop and there was loads on the bushes:(
My livingroom is still nice so it shouldn't take long to run round in there then I can get my extras done.
Who asked me about caravan sites at Eyemouth please raise your hand! I was waiting till I got back to my own real computer to PM you and now I have forgotten who it was:ofor Toots, Lady-L, Hex2 and everyone else in need of one today.
