I am deeply ashamed to have to admit I'm throwing in the towel this week, and will just be S&S-ing for today and tomorrow.
I am so tired I could weep; I have prepared food (we are on "use up what won't keep" at present) for tonight, and felt horribly dizzy sitting on my perching stool in the kitchen prepping spuds.:(
I still don't have all my case packed, and I'm very stressed, as I need to be well enough to travel on Friday; I have no idea if we'll be able to do holidays outside the UK any more, so I want Mr LW to enjoy this one.:o
Sorry, I'm too exhausted to keep straight in my mind who has what happening just now, so will put a neat pile of hugs, sticks, spoons and boots-up-the-bum. Please help yourselves as appropriate.:oIf your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)0
