    Afternoon all.

    I'm all over the place this week, I don't seem to know what day it is! I've done the bathroom and toilet this morning, a day earlier than my usual, because I want to do it again on Christmas Eve so that spreads it out a bit. Tidied the bottom of the airing cupboard again too. I'm going to do the bedrooms on Friday. No wonder I'm confused about days...

    Not enough washing for a load today, just as well with the weather.

    Going to catch up now, hope everyone's OK.
  • Ironing all done, so I'm heading upstairs :)
