Good morning
Had a little lie this morning, then after breakfast took the dog for a walk in the freezing rain & sleet. I have warmed up now
DH has told me that he sent of a job application yesterday (a job I told him about in October! He gets around to things eventually!). So if anyone has some good luck vibes they would be appreciated. he hates his job so much, and it is dragging us all down
Bed stripped & bedding in WM, DH has emptied the DW. I need to attack my case study now, so I think I will do at least 1 HHStudy.0
