    Morning all!

    Well I didn't do too badly yesterday. I managed to get home an hour early from work to have a blitz for the boys friends to come round and managed to knock a few bits off the list plus clear out the utility room - you have to go in there to get to the downstairs loo and it's definitely my room of doom :eek:

    Hopefully I will be able to build on my efforts from yesterday. I always feel if I don't start well on a Monday the rest of the week follows the same way.

    Anyway...

    Morning!

    Am in the office brrr was chilly this morning, and only just getting light walking from carpark. Will have to rethink my parking options, not sure it's entirely safe in the dark, esp since I carry laptop and other equipment. I was all cosied up though with my hat, scarf and mitts, plus my chuggs (cheap uggs :rotfl: we love primarni)

    Anyway, lr looking good (I tend to do all the floors together whilst vac and mop are out) so have a bit of a head start. I will be here till about 3, then will have approx an hour when I get home to finish off.

    Lots of paid stuff to get on with - off i go
