    Hugs Julie - hope you managed to get back to sleep again.

    I have woken up with a scratchy throat and sneezes and a runny nose - seems that cold germs which have been hovering about for a few days have won through:(

    It is cold this morning... brrr! Thank goodness heating has just come on. I think I will make me and DH a cuppa and I will go back go bed for a bit - normally I stay up but 30 mins snuggled in bed with my book is sounding pretty tempting at the mo;)

    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.

    Have cleaned downstairs loo and vacuumed living room. Will take inspiration from other posts as to what to fit in next before work. This thread makes me happy because my home and life now feel organised, but why oh why do I keep finding tinsel two weeks after taking the decorations down?!!
    Spend less now, work less later.
