    Morning - I managed to finish yesterday's list at 7am this morning. Think i'll spend what time I have free today decluttering the children's room in time for Christmas. I'm sure I can get rid of some of the carp in both their rooms. That's the plan anyway.

    Today I've also got to;

    - dry washing for 10 mins and hang
    - walk dogs
    - work (just one client today)
    - lunch / catch up with friends
    - sort mail
    - EARLY NIGHT TONIGHT!!!! (i'm shattered). That should be made possible because DH is home from working away. It'll be a case of 'hiya darling, night night!'

    That's it for me.

    Shysarah - make sure you continue to take it easy. The more you rest the quicker you'll get better. I'm allowed to say that as I had it rammed into me by the good people on this board! Gentle hugs to you.
    Juliejim - I'm sending so many 'home check for dog goes well' vibes that you might end up with 50 dogs! Have a good weekend xx

    Eek, had loads more to say and have forgotten it all. Hugs to everyone...toots, boddy and LL fairy dust all round xx

    Edited to add - last night my ferrying around was all made worth while when both children won trophies at the atletics awards night. I'm so proud of them both. My son was so happy...he got the 'coaches award' chosen by all the coaches and given to the child who helps others, has overcome difficulties and has improved their athletics. A very proud moment!

    Do you have a recipe for that; it might make a nice change from turkey :p I'm off to the butcher later to order my Festive Bird and buy some pork to make more pancetta.

    Going to let myself in gently with a HHC 09:20 - 09:50; anyone else :j
