    I need some motivation to do a bit inside. Anyone for a HHC at 12?

    Sorry change d my mind 11.30?

    Joining in a bit late, I need to get myself showered/dressed - well basically move from the sofa..lol

    Tooch hope your CBA disappears and takes mine with it.. I think I know why I have mine, it's a combination of crashing and also my mums birthday tomorrow, it's been 5 years this year - so a visit to the crem is on the cards. And I think I am subconsciously thinking about it more this year as I also have group therapy tomorrow :(

    Ok off I go for my belated HHC with poohbear

    After spending many years taking part on this forum occasionally, I have just been diagnosed as diabetic and am taking early retirement, and so hopefully I will be posting almost daily as I try to get this house and garden sorted.
    Today as well as getting the kitchen presentable, I must cut the front lawn, as at the moment it resembles a wild flower meadow!
