    I am going to be back in this week. Had the strangest 24 hours. Yesterday at about 2pm I went upstairs and read my book lying down on the bed. Next thing I knew it was 8pm. I had dropped off well and truely. Thought to myself that getting to sleep was going to hard work last night. Watched a film then went to bed at just past midnight. Dropped off fine then have woken up today at 11am !!!! What is all that about???

    JUst having a coffee and will get going.

    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    Anyone up for a HHC 12.30-1? I've got lots of decluttering to do in that time (including putting away 2 baskets of clean washing), so may manage one of the things off the list by the time has run out.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.
