    Hello all

    I'm retiring to lurkdom for two or three weeks. I'm now into the last week before we move and flying just isn't going to cut it! Packing and deep cleaning then subsequent deep cleaning and unpacking at the other end are going to take up most of my time.

    See you all in a few weeks

    Kitchen surfaces all cleaned. Better get dressed now and see whether I can get some work out of the way before the 10am call... Packing will, of course, be put off until the last possible moment :o (although I have unearthed a few things and put them out on the spare bed).

    :wave: hope you're all okay. Just popped in to see what the room was today. Really need to do a little bit each day despite other committments. That's the theory anyway.

    So far today:

    - walked both dogs
    - washing load x 1
    - sorted rubbish

    Onwards and upwards.

    Hugs to all xx
