    Good Morning:wave:

    Well, there was a brief spell on Sunday afternoon when there was NO LAUNDRY and NO WASHING UP in our house. ooooo bliss.... Then we ate tea and put pjs on.....equals laundry and unwashed pots...tut. I'm not getting fanatical or anything, but I did briefly consider switching to paper plates, wouldn't go so far as paper knickers tho....or would I?:think:

    I had a lovely week last week celebrating my half century,but probably got too high as I've crashed this week...just want to sleep and eat.

    I'm having the purple put back into my hair tomorrow, so hopefully that will give me a lift. And I do find reading the thread motivating, so little tiny dots still being done between sleeps.

    Hugs prayers and spoons to all

  • In my HH dot-to-dot I decanted the beef stew I cooked yesterday into pie dishes; topped them with pastry; froze down the remains of the beef; wiped up the counter and tidied the cupboard under the sink which was in chaos. I now realise that my cupboard is the site of the official EU surplus dishwasher detergent mountain..... I also sorted the wobbly stack of empty ice-cream boxes before they fell on my head from the top of the freezer, and stored the lids neatly. Not too bad!

    Must go wash hair so it dries in time to go out later; then I'll tackle that bedroom...
