Good morning!!
I have a course at work after taking DD to school so I'm pleased that my room is as clean and tidy as after I'd bottomed it last week-just needs a quick vac round. So in my limited time today I will be;
Vaccing all upstairs and the stairs.
Tidying and dusting in DD's room-started on the tidying last night.

Not feeling so good today, I am getting really frustrated now. By the time I went to bed I was very achy, I can always tell when the Diazepam is wearing off and this morning my neck is a bit sore too. I only have 24 hours left of the Diazepam so will be relying on the painkillers at the weekend.
Pigpen I love that list, I did some of those jobs yesterday as they were things I could do while sitting on the bed.
Toots Have a very happy birthday, have a relaxing day and we shall throw mules if you DO any flying, spend a day doing things you enjoy, you deserve it xx
