    I'm in,

    having decluttered DD to the station, suitably stocked with extra food, as her Student Finance still hasn't come through.

    Decluttered my Dad back to his flat, with 3 extra portions of Sunday lunch, (saves him cooking), 'cos he can't be bothered usually.

    DW on.
    Cats fed, (even if those little boys tell everyone that nobody feeds them).
    Cuppa time. :cool:
