    Morning All

    I've been up for a couple of hours but haven't actually done anything yet. We're going to visit friends at some point this morning and we need to go food shopping but that's about it. Other than that it's doing more stuff around the house.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Miserable weather here too, so stayed in bed and read. Need to get dressed now and carry on ... Just the suitcases on top of the wardrobe to clean up and then the study is done. I need to pack for tomorrow, and hopefully get the bathroom clean and the upstairs floors done.

    I really need to get out into the garden - the grass desperately needs cutting and the flowerbed in front of the sitting room window has a vast dandelion growing out of it :o

    I am coming back to join you next week as my busy schedule is calming down for a few weeks. DH is out every evening this week so it is a good time for me to get the house in order. I am spending a bit of time putting stray things in the right place to try and help me. See you tomorrow.

    Lil_me so sorry to hear about your friend's little lad.:(

    Yorkie I'm afraid I need all my spoons, but a barrow-load of posi-vibes are on their way.:o

    Kazmeister I feel like screaming on your behalf! I think I'd have told them to shove the diet somewhere - sideways - long ago.:cool:

    Doglet fed and walked, WiiFit done; Mr LW prodded into doing his weekly check on the car (oil, tyres, wash-bottle etc). We're now going to stop for HM nut loaf, roast root veggies and Marmite gravy, cos the poor darling's hungry.:D He's been sent to the kitchen to prep the veggies.;)
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Hello All
    I haven't read the whole week, but thought I'd pop by to say hi, we are back from holidays, the children were very good and had a whale of a time. We're all tired from the late flight, but I've unpacked and started washing.

    Working from home tomorrow, so will join in the basics but will be mostly focused on getting laundry sorted.

    Hoping all is well with you all x
    Bossymoo

    Away with the fairies :beer:
