    Evening all

    The day has gone so fast and I've achieved so little.

    Big part of the wrapping done, not much more to buy
    Bed changed
    Reef remade

    That is it. Plumber was here for 6 hours and the problem is not fixed. I'm dreading the bill.

    Just need to help DH push the wardrobe back in our room and then I'll sort the list on here.

    GI - well done to DH

    Dusty - my ironing is up to date, I spent 3 hours doing it all today, even the horrid stuff that continually gets shoved to the bottom of the "do it next time" pile. I'm ironing on a daily basis now - very pleased with myself and all that steam has cleared my sinus prob so double bonus.

    Tomorrow I am wrapping ALL day, well, between 9and 2.30, hope to get most of it done

    Hugs, sticks, spoons and bandages for all who want them
