'Ere, Piggers, that means people only think you are talking crap 4% of the time!


ETA: Just take it easy, LW - if you've been out in this sunny weather, as I remember, Lupus can get worse with all the UV thingies nuking you!

Relax.

Sitting looking at my living room I think I have my work cut out today, and I am out alot of today. However, on the positive side it's the worst room in the house at the moment so should mean the rest of the week is a bit easier. Going to start with a couple of smaller jobs so can strike them out - silly I know but feels SO satisfying when I can see that I have crossed out a couple of jobs!

Morning all

OH has gone off to work in town - his first day back in the big salon, and he has instructions to come back if he doesn't feel up to it.

Swimming lesson for DS2 in a bit and someone is coming to collect the freegled old house phone after lunch.

I've got to contact my two friends from work to sort out some stuff, so that goes on the list. I think I'll do a bit of our bedroom, so I can put clean clothes away properly. Second cuppa and breakfast first, before I get DS2 sorted. I'll try to fit in a HHC before we've got to go.

I washed towels last night, but don't know whether to peg them out. It's not raining yet!
