    Afternoon all

    I did all the bedrooms on Wednesday so I've officially done the list :) But today I've tidied up, made some little sultana fairy cakes, vacuumed right through downstairs. One load of washing hung out in the (very cold) wind and occasional drizzle but not enough to get it back in...

    I've wrapped three more Christmas presents. My hands are really bad this week so I can only do a bit at a time and I hate wrapping stuff anyway.

    Haven't caught up with the posts yet so I'll edit stuff in where needed :D



    Congratulations Rach and Mr Rach. I hope you are all doing well:j
