    Reloaded WM
    Made DS more breakfast
    Half emptied the shelf over the TD as I need to put the booze there out of the conservatory

    Mate's girls are her at the mo, DD is till in bed but she's had sleepovers Sat, Mon and Tues and a late night last night because of Cubs so she needs the sleep.

    Another HHC @ 9 anyone?

    Morning everyone..

    Firstly can I apologise for my absence, no excuse really just a combination of a lot of things. The main one being my computer doing a really hissy on me and I had to reformat it so many times it was unbelievable - still it is purring now and I have even managed to cull everything without thinking "do I need this bookmark?".. :p Luckily I had backed up photo's, word docs and music, so it wasn't a complete disaster. Just meant that I had hardly any sleep for about 3 days. :(

    Anyway I have been keeping on top of everything, gods knows how, but I have. I even managed to plant up my veg plot with veggie seedlings and they are growing lovely and strong now. Washing is almost uptodate, thanks to this lovely weather, but the ironing pile isn't getting any smaller..lol

    I have therapy today which I am sort of looking forward to. We are going to be going over my new diagnosis from the psychiatrist the other week, so that should be interesting..ugh!! I made a lemon drizzle cake for us all in our break as well.. Although saying that I am doing my usual avoidance tactics.. lol

    Many thanks to LL for updating you all while I was missing :) You are a star honey xx

    :j Waves to Toots, glad the move went well honey. Have missed you :(

    Hugs and love to everyone, and lots of spoons, especially to LL, Toots, LW and anyone else that wants them.
