    So far this morning put some washing through and it is now blowing well on the line. Been to the post van and met a lovely lady who lives in the village and had a good natter:T
    Spent yesterday at the dentist, my cousins and then at the support group last night. Struck off a fair bit on my 'others' list so that was good but now playing catch up today.
    First job will be de-cluttering my coffee and then some lunch before I get going.

    Hugs, Snuggles and spoons xxx

    Morning campers!!

    It's a bright but cold morning here and the sun is lovely...I love Autumn....

    Tummy sore but I am more relaxed now I know it is all as it should be, still feel like there's a melon in there, but as it didn't show up on the scan it must be an invisible melon LOL

    Just having brekkie before DD's BF takes me to Aldi to get a few things and have a pootle. (He's pushing the trolley!!!)

    So back to my list of things I can do sitting down

    FOUND MY LIST!!

    rainbow accounts
    sort out drawers in sideboard
    empty carp out of under bed storage units- move these into DD room
    rearrange glass cupboard, chuck all odd glasses and unused tea-light pots etc.
    sort tupper ware cupboard
    tidy behind the sofa (going through lots of old files)
    update go-online
    rainbow planning and paperwork
    make a Christmas list
    book a bin cleaner

    right off in the shower
    xxx
    Hugs and spoons to those who need them especially LL and Toots and Tooch
    Go hopefully into each new day, enjoy something from every day no matter how small, you never know when it will be your last

    I love the idea of a post van, is it one which takes you to other villages like Postman Pat. Oh I love Postman Pat - original not the new one. I am a cross between Mrs Goggins and Miss Hubbard :D

    Been to the dentist
    Been to the chemist
    Been to the dump for recycling
    Washing on the line

    Just having a cuppa and proof reading street party letter for DH to print then I have struck a deal with myself - deep clean the last window upstairs and the reward is an hour in the garden later when hopefully the sun will be out :rotfl:
