    Washing on the line, not a lot of breeze here today, sunny but cold in the shade (which is most of the garden).

    Decluttered some leftover mash, with sausage and onion, yummly.

    Shredding more paperwork next.

    Got the Motability car ready to go back tommorrow, all clean and shiny.

    Hello, I'm in again this week. Didn't stick to the lists last week as it was all a bit hectic but just about kept on top of things.

    Spent all day yesterday decorating my kitchen. Just a couple of bit to do and it's finished in there so may do that once the baby is in bed tonight.

    Thanks so much to FCC
