Well, I'd hoped I might get a few minutes for a bit of cross stitch at some point today, but predictably, it hasn't happened. *rolleyes* (Actually - who was I trying to kid??):cool:
I've only just finished all the must-do tasks, and Mr LW is on his way home.
As mentioned earlier, we're due at T & M's at 20:00, and we have to eat dinner, do (at the very least) Mr LW's body-check on the Wii, (don't think there'll be time for him to actually exercise tonight), set up the video for a programme he wants to see that's broadcast tonight, get Ted sorted - fed, tipped outside for a wee, and his Kong toy stuffed with treats for while we're out - and I need to throw on some war paint.
All I really want to do is curl up and [STRIKE]die[/STRIKE] go to sleep.:(If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)0 -

LW - I have some spoons for you
I hope you enjoy your evening
Dawning - welcome!! You have made the first step. I think we all feel overwhelmed sometimes, and I definitely agree that when you have a more ordered, clutter-free environment it is easier to cope with other things. Good luck!
AJ - good luck with the move tomorrowYou must be so excited
My sister is out of hospital alreadyThat is either because they are pleased with her recovery so far she was due to go home tomorrow) OR she has been making a nuisance of herself :rotfl:
We went into Swindon earlier, then Cirencester. Other than that we haven't done much. It has been miserable here today, but as I am not home I can't munch any frogs
DH is cooking dinner. I may give the kitchen a S&S later when we have finished eating.
Hugs & spoons to those that need them
ETA Hugs for Valli & DS. I hope you are ok0 -
Had an utter carp week re flying.
I am just going to cook, then see if I can at least do a HHI or something useful.
Welcome Dawning - we're in the same county.
Hugs Valli - hope you are both ok
Will report back later
ETA Spoons for LWYesterday is history
Tomorrow is a mystery
Today is a gift
That's why we call it 'The Present'0
