Late in to this week's, as have had visitors for 2 nights. But, am not behind too much, as DS ran round with the vac for me on Sunday while we waited for friends to arrive - isn't he a gem?!
So, thanks to him I feel happy with ignoring Mon and Tues tasks, and so will start with Wednesday's.
All the best to everyone else this week!Keeping two cats and myself on a small budget, and enjoying life while we're at it!0 -
