    Morning ladies,
    DH decluttered to work and he is dropping DM at the station. I offered to take DM all the way home but she insisted the train was fine.
    I have cards to write and a birthday present to wrap then I need to go to the PO with them. I need a few bits from town while I am there, then I will come home and attack the house.
    I will be back later for a HHC or more.

    Hellooooooo carlsberggal - sorry to hear you've had such a ploppy last few months. Big hugs to you and hope to see you posting now.
    Vanilla - great news - i'll keep everything crossed xx

    Well, I am very pleased with myself. I've just completed my online tax return on my own and, you know what, it wasn't that bad at all. I really do have a mental block when it comes to accounts and tax etc but I woke up at 6am and decided to do it!!:D Very happy! Also, it looks like they're refunding the £100 fine I got because my last accountant didn't submit my accounts. I'll believe that when I've spoken to someone but how good would that be?!?:beer::rotfl:.

    Ok, guess i'd better find a list and add it to this post.

    Bathroom/study/downstairs toilet
    Clean toilets
    Clean sink/bath/shower
    Clear and sweep/vacuum/mop floors
    Clean desk
    HH paperwork/shredding
    HH me time
    Collect all washing from around the house and wash

    My List
    [STRIKE]
    Phone tax man
    Walk dog
    Sort some pressies
    [/STRIKE]
    Finish Christmas cards

    Morning all

    Nice and sunny today, not warm but it doesn't feel as cold as yesterday. Maybe that's because I've only just sat down. If I feel in the mood to work I have to get on with it. I've changed the beds, got two loads on the line and one in the machine. Cleaned the bedrooms and landing. Made 18 mince pies, a batch of leek and potato soup and started preparations for red cabbage tonight (haven't made it before......).

    Going to catch up on here now, hope everyone's OK. Waiting for a parcel to be delivered too, it's supposed to be here today.
