    Woody in the bad books for getting the turkey which was defrosting.

    :eek: Bad Woody indeed.

    Decided to work on the snug as it is warmest. Paperwork goes back to April which is just shameful. Huge pile for recycling, half a bag of tat and lots of addressed stuff for starting fires with.

    Legitimate haven't washed the windows on the extras list this week as we don't have any kitchen roll. I shall repent by washing them all at once as soon as I acquire some.

    As a bonus, put away all the dry washing and did a monthly grocery shop!

    Mr LW phoned earlier, and said he's going to be 'orribly late tonight, as there are a load of things to do on the systems that have to be done when the users have all logged off, so I'll nuke my portion of shepherd spy and have it at normal time, and do his as soon as he gets in. It's a pain, but it goes with the territory, and is why I always try to arrange a "nuke it and eat" dins for when he's on late shift.:o
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)
