    Evening all

    Everybody shattered here so it's going to be early night's all round.

    DW just finished and I need to put the hoover away and do a HHI and that will be it for the day apart from going out in the vile night to collect DH from the station (he usually goes to and forth on his bike but it was just raining too hard this morning).

    Toots - wishing you a better day tomorrow hun x

    Boddy hope your mum is a bit better

    Soappie sends her love to you all
