Nothing much done here except S&S the kitchen, lift dirty washing, stick WM on and put clothes on line. A couple more appointments sorted for next week and my sister should be up in half an hour. I forgot she was moving house today as well.:o Must clear jeep out before this evening, should be able to move most things over with it.
Cuppa and then i'll crack on with the livingroom. Hubby has been woken but hasn't got up yet. As soon as he is the bed can be stripped.:D
Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.And things go wrong no matter what I do.Now and then it seems that life is just too much.But you've got the love I need to see me through.:j :j0 -
Will aim to do level one today, as I am in work all day and am out this evening. Have a great day everyone.
