            Morning All
 Good Luck with your exam G&B
 Hugs Vanilla
 AJ - hope he's on the mend soon
 Kaz - well done
 DH came home unexpectedly last night so we went to Taybarns for tea - I ate too much and as AF is also here felt rather bloated and uncomfortable so after doing some schoolwork I had an early night and did nothing. I'm going to get up in a minute and make a start though as my aunty is picking the kids up from school tonight and bringing them here so I need to have a tidy up and a hoover. The ironing mountain I'll move out of my LR into my bedroom where it won't be seen!
 Have a good day all
 Hugs
