    Good morning all xx

    I am ironing....:)
  • Morning all :)

    Am feeling really awful this morning (bad cramps) and have had to cancel the cleaner (which I didn't want to do) as I didn't think I could manage going out for the two hours she was due to work. Bah and humbug, I say! Anyway, will try and get to Level 1 of today's list myself. Can't cope with the floor at the moment but I shall do the surfaces just now and try the floor after lunch.
