    lovely sunny day here! so lots of washing planned cos the forecast is good - for today!

    Ds is going to work. DD2 is going into town with a mate and DD1 has mates coming over who may take her out - fingers crossed!

    I may have the house to myself - strange feeling - with DD1 having been ill with ME for nearly 5 years this is a rare pleasure! Even if she doesn't go out she should be occupied!

    Best go and hang the washing out!

    Anyone joining me for a HHC 9 till 9.30?

    I've washed up, cleaned the loo (did the sink last night), made both beds, folded laundry and put it away, bleached the kitchen worktops and cleaned the hob, sorted the recycling and had a shower. That will do for now!!
