    Oops, I forgot to post any sort of progress report yesterday....:whistle:

    Hoppy Birdday to Piggers' OH.

    Toots aww, sorry you've been feeling poorly; feel-better vibes winging their way to you.

    I have an A-frame full of washing over the bath at the moment, so may wait til a little later to try and move it to clean the bath (hopefully some will be dry). It looked very overcast out when we emptied the WM first thing, and I just don't have the spoons for the Washing Hokey Cokey, hence it's drying indoors.;)

    I'll post'n'delete, as per usual - yesterday's list too, as I omitted to post last night; we did a very rare (for us) run to @sda after dins yesterday; this being the only place in MK that appears to have Stardrops. :D
