So many people have said that....think i may be swaying towards a Henry!! And i think i said my parents have one at their holiday home and although it doesn't get used as much as normal it has to deal with dogs and sand and i reckon its 13 years old and no problem. Its just the bag bit that is putting me off! (Lazy!)

I just went onto grocery challenge and saw your post which made me chuckle! :rotfl: xx

What a disaster my first week was!!

Not managed anything off the list, just about kept on top of cooking dinner and doing the washing up, and managed a couple of loads in the wm!

I had a very odd sleepless night last night then this morning found I forgot to take my meds.

Put a reminder in your mobile phone, and set it on daily repeat, so that it squeaks at you. Mine squeaks at me at 07:30 and 19:30 each day, and (touch wood) I've always remembered to take my meds.

Sockdrawer I have to admit I'd sooner saw my leg off with a rusty breadknife than attend a reunion. Best of luck with it, though.:o

We've been into town, got Mr LW's B&Q Diamond card for the over 60s , spent my £5 Bodyshop voucher, bought Mr LW some new trousers for work (one pair of his are "going home" in the crotch area):eek:, and been to Tesco.

Lunch has been decluttered, just having a coffee, then going to try for HHYoga, then take it easy for a bit til we have to change into our smart clothes for the opera.:o
