    All done today except hoovering which I will have to do tomorrow. I had a large embroidery order to fill today. Just scared myself silly watching Whitechapel, and about to have a hot cross bun and cup of tea before bed yummy!

    May I join in ladies? A major lurker and minor poster but love these threads, they help me to focus instead of wandering around the house 'bitting' and not achieving much.

    Levels one and two completed today :)

    Good morning ladies

    I am going to ring the doctors at 8am.

    Other plans for today are to flutter gently and keep the WM and TD fed.

    I hope everyone has a good day.

    Parents' evening was positive. DS1 is aiming for Bs. He needs to find a successful way of revising.

    Mumto5 hope you get sorted at the docs and are feeling better soon.

    Very icey (frozen snow) here so may have to stay in and fly :)

    More decluttering needed. My Mum wants to buy me a spring clean. Not sure what this entails but would be more successful with less toys & junk.

    LW Hope your shoulder is better soon. Miss Gracie cat sends you a kind paw (not sure if you mind cats but she means well).

    Pigpen I forgot to say, lovely photos.

    To do
    swimming lesson (ds2) if roads are safe

    WM is on (as usual)
