    I am posting my list but not sure why as I can't fly. I pulled something in my back/neck this morning when I woke up. It has got worse through the day and painkillers don't seem to be working just making it worse although it has got steadily worse all day. Working this weekend so could really do without this, hope whatever happened this morning that the opposite will happen tomorrow morning and everything will be fine.

    Decluttered a couple of frogs - actually left the house to go into town. Seem to be getting agrophobic at the moment. The village is fine because I know people, but I seem to keep putting off and putting off going any further.

    Going to have a very grumpy DH :mad: around this weekend unexpectedly. His mega dive trip (drive from Glasgow to Weymouth and back for 2 dives) has been blown out. Will have to find things to keep him busy and unbrooding.:D evil grin :D
