    Morning all

    I didn't get a chance to post yesterday as I had a headache and needed a nap before getting 4 :eek: hours work done, so I was up until 2am.
    Still staying on top of dailies, Small Cat still coming for meals and getting more interested in the house. Overall a good evening for getting stuff done - let's hope the week continues like that. It's my friend's twin grandchildren's christening on Sunday and I've offered to help her with the buffet, so the weekend will be interesting, too.

    Hope everyone's ok. Must go and get some stew going in the SC to have with the pancakes tonight.

    Morning All

    :bdaycake:Happy Birthday cyclingyorkie - hope today's a better day.

    Toots - what on earth were you doing up at that time?

    Kaz - well done on the weightloss.

    Going to have a quick hoover round before work - DH isn't home tonight so I'll probably get more done then.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Good morning all - hope everyone is good.

    Hugs for jjef, i missed your post before - glad there was a good turn out and hopefully things will start to get easier. Gentle hugs for you and your family.

    Im sorry about my bratty strop last night - about two minutes after I posted she handed me the remote for the TV and has said she wasnt expecting me to cook, she just waited till I got home so we could eat together and she didnt mind cooking... Perhaps I was too quick to presume after Sunday which is what I was really still narked about in the first place...

    Anyway - i still didnt eat, cos i wasnt hungry and spent lots of time on the phone to OH.

    However - am up early today, showered and fed. Off to declutter stinky-boy to the shower and get the bed stripped.

    Have a good day all

    Love to Toots and LL and everyone else who can do with some :)

    Glad you got it sorted, Jo, but coming in tired from work and finding her sitting watching tv, your reaction was understandable. She knew she wanted to eat with you, but you are not a mindreader and Sun night was still rankling.
    Communication - :rotfl:

    OK first cuppa of day is finished so off to shower then get WM running.
