    :hello:Hi Carol! Welcome back! Did you enjoy your year abroad? I have very fond memories of mine, and am still in touch with the family who pretty much adopted me.

    Morning lovelies! :wave:

    Fab news Greenbee :T x
    Toots :hello: x

    Got work in an hour so trying to do a few bits and pieces, I've already done the kitchen, my bedroom was done at the weekend, littleys is still ongoing, teenie does his own, the rabbits are fighting so have been seperated, Lily cat is a real hoot and is currently swanning about outside like she owns the place.

    Helped DD1 move into her own pad yesterday, it's lovely and they've got today off to settle in. They've had my settee (only one, the big one wouldn't fit through their doors) so my place is looking rather empty :j got some stuff to shift about in the dining room later as the settee that was in there is now in my LR, can move the freezer and put my table back to where it belongs. Done lots of flinging! Yay!

    listy:-

    hoover through
    move freezer
    move table
    work 2 hrs
    post Lovefilm
    empty DW
    reload DW
    clear benches
    clean benches
    tidy DR
    fold clean washing

    prep tea
    bring bins in
    make my bed
    clear sideboard of littleys gibble in LR
    sort shoes/bags/coats
    Fling session

    laters lovelies! x
