    A couple more things striked off. I've started on 1 of the work surfaces and I've put the bin out and put loads more rubbish in it - it will be full by the time the binmen come! I've also rung the doctors but i can't get a nurse's appt for tomorrow morning so will probably have to wait.

    Another HHC @ 10 anyone?

    Almost forgot - sending posi-vibes for your dad's op, shellysue.

    Hope you can get to the bottom of what's troubling your DS1, dusty.

    CY - healing vibes for your DS's wrist!

    I've started a toots list, and it's going to be scary. There are 3 sections: things we need to do, things we will have to pay for someone else to do, and wishful thinking (i.e. will get it done if I win the lottery or similar).

    I'll join you in the HHC, jackie - time for a very quick bath (and I'll tidy the BR will it's running).
