    Less things. Less stuff. More life.

    Haven't read through the posts for this week's thread yet, and was on holiday last week so haven't been keeping up to date with everybody's posts, but hope everyone is well and either enjoying being back into a routine with the kids back to school like me in Scotland or still enjoying your summer holidays in England.

    Congratulations, jenny. Glad you had a great time.
    Wow holly - you're on form today!

    I've been trying unsuccessfully to get onto my bank's website, so I'm about to give up and move onto something else for a bit. DS2 has been in a foul mood so far. Hope it improves. I'll alternate between kitchen, LR and outside today. The kitchen because I didn't clean up last night and just read my book instead. :o The LR of doom, as it's on the list and outside because it's still dry. Must have had rain during the night.

    OK, a quick coffee and I'm off.
