    Ok, so I got distracted by the TV last night and didn't get much done :o

    In other news, I've put ON 3lbs in the past two weeks:eek: I thought we'd had a fairly healthy holiday and did loads of walking. Need to really boost the health challenge this week!

    Anyone seen Fairy around the forum recently?

    - Vac floor
    - Sort out important bits of paper!

    Hello all,

    Hope you had fun Fairy on your visit to mummios.

    We have a new adition to the brood - a teeny kitten my dad found abandoned by the canal. He is going to take up a lot of my time this week as the poor thing is being left alone for 9.5 hrs a day whilst we're at work. He's currently residing in the spare room as one of my cats hasn't taken to him and I'm worried she'll be agressive towards him if we gave him free run of the house.

    Got up early this morning to get things done - 2 loads of washing done and pegged out, kitchen cleaned and tea prepped.

    It's also my week for overtime (working from home til 8pm-ish) so I think the mornings are when I'm going to get stuff done.
