    Morning everyone.

    I must just say that it was lovely coming downstairs this morning to a nice clean kitchen. It definately put me in a better mood this morning.

    Busy at work until school pick up time then a follow up docs appt for my neck but DH and DD1 will be at home first so I have asked DD1 to clear the ironing from the lounge and will get DH to vac the floor and sofas in the lounge too. Then when I get home I'll dust and generally tidy up. That's the plan anyway...hope it actually works!!

    Anyway, happy flying to those that are and do a HHC for me while you're at it won't you! :wink:
