Just to say, I'm still alive...just fallen off the wagon quite heavily.
I'm getting there, though!
I hope everyone is OK? Sending loads of hugs, spoons, etc to anyone who needs one.
Extra busy day today:
Do my dailies- Be in town for 9.30 to help out at a meeting
- Buy some 'smart casual' clothes *shrugs* and see if I can find some shoes
- Assist OH with the removal of the fitted wardrobe. email Freecycle person who wants them.
- Fill the holes in the living room walls.
- Assist OH with the putting up of a curtain pole.
- Make a start on cleaning the final wall.
- Aussie Christmas cards to organise - mail merge some labels (if I can remember how to!)
- Supermarket shopping list to generate - not sure whether online order or in person. Depends if I find 'smart casual' clothes in our woefully inadequate town centre.
- Cobble together some dinner - not sure what we're having yet...
- Do some more study
Right, better go and raise the troops...they want to come with me, but I don't think they realise that when I say I'm leaving at 9, I'm actually going at 9...
Take care all

Morning all
Didn't plan to get up early but as I am I'm having some toast and honey and a cuppa and getting on with bits on here.
Hoping it stays dry so that I can rake the leaves in the back garden later and DH can chop wood as the store is very low.The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -
