    I've taken loads of Ebay pictures. I stopped half way through to upload on to the pc in case the batteries died (which they just did) and only 2 pictures are any good the rest are blurry or a funny colour. :mad:

    Sagaris hope the dog is ok, will it try to get to Hertfordshire (my home county?)

    GreenT where will it go?

    Flying was a struggle today due to lack of motivation but it is all done. Hoping the weather will be dry enough for a bit of gardening tomorrow afternoon.

    Good news - Louis has just been captured and is on his way home! His stomach probably got the better of him - I will know more tomorrow, bet his owners are soooo pleased!

    On a housework note, I've nearly finished the ironing!

    Back from parade and AGM and now ready for bed. In fact I nearly went to bed without doing the list first! I did a HHI before work this morning, some washing and I've washed the dishes - I think that's about all I've managed today but tomorrow evening I've got nothing on so hopefully I'll get the downstairs looking something like.

    Pleased Louis's home Sagaris.

    Still need to wipe cupboards but otherwise level two completed. Will manage what I can tomorrow before school for Tuesday's list. I have felt so rough over the weekend. No signs of feeling better but I did manage to get to the gym for half an hour today.. that alone felt good. Kids even seemed motivated today and tidied their room without being asked so some of it must be rubbing off on them ?!
