    Hi guys,

    8 smilies! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

    I'm moving house tomorrow. :eek: :eek: :eek: So lots of last minute rushing around and trying to finish things off. Me and OH will probably try to pile some of the smaller boxes in the car later on and take them up to the new flat so we just have the big stuff to take in the van tomorrow. We're both incredibly stressed and at each other's throats and we'll both be very glad when it's finally over. As I'm moving tomorrow, I'll just do a daily list today and hopefully, I should be back online Mon or Tues, requiring the broadband comes online with the phone line. If not, I might be away for a week or more. :eek: :rotfl:

    Today I want to:

    Finish packing. :D
    Wash all pots. :DOH said he'd do them.
    Clean kitchen sink.
    Take load of boxes to new flat. :D

    I've done some other stuff today but I'm too busy to list it. 'See' you all soon (I hope).

    Hello Steppers!

    Better late than never!

    I feel like I'm in a bit of a fog for the last few days so maybe a few steps will help me focus.

    Today I have already:

    - checked bank & paid credit card :D
    - done polls & cashback site :D
    - posted birthday parcel & card to little sis :D
    - paid cheque in at bank :D
    - returned clothes to shop for refund :D
    - had photos done for new driving licence (scary face!) :D

    This evening I want to:

    - bring DD2 to football :D
    - half hour walk whilst she's there :D 45 mins!
    - sort out wet washing to radiators/dryer :D
    - put load of washing on :(

    And about a million other things that need doing but I can't see the wood for the trees at the moment! I'll keep plodding at my steps and hope it improves! (And hope my mouldy mood improves too!)

    Keep smiling Steppers!
