    Popped on to say I've done everything from last week's list - I'm copying all the days from the week before on the Sunday and working through them so always a week behind. I seem to have some days where I'm really busy and some where I'm quiet so that suits me better (being a bit OCD I was trying to get everything done on the day it should be done and this means I can spread it a bit more without feeling guilty!).

    Hope everyone is OK; I haven't looked at the thread at all I'm afraid but help yourself to hugs as needed!
