    Good morning everyone.

    It seems to have been a busy week. I was out on Tuesday, so had to fit in my normal Tuesday jobs on other days, and I'm out for most of tomorrow, so I want to do a bit extra today.

    With having two days out in one week, it's made me realise that I work to a set routine. I would like to be more spontaneous and not do things on the same day each week.

    That's something to work on, I think.

    Enjoy your day

    Morning all!
    Joints killing me this morning, cramp from hell on top of it, that may partly explain the emotional downturn this week, oh the joys of hormones! Bedding in WM, will need to do some ironing today, otherwise doing as little as possible!
    JackieO, enjoy your anniversary memories with the girls.
    RR so glad DD is having such a great time, the memories of this trip will last a lifetime!
    Right, am off to hunt for some painkillers as my wrists are throbbing, have a good day all!
    RIP Iain

    Wow ruby an experience she will never forget.
    Im also on FB and would be happy to friend people - if you would like Jools.

    I am such a dope - had forgotten that I had a delivery from Sainsbugs today. Never mind though I had only doubled up on a couple of items when sent Kid's Dad to T£eco last night.

    Glad you are "relaxing" Hester xx
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
  • A late good morning everyone :)

    Sun is shining again so washing is on the line and managed a bit of gardening too. All the herb seed pots on the kitchen window ledge have lovely little green shoots now.

    DH is ironing shirts for the week. We thought we needed to get him a new pair of work trousers but he has just found a brand new pair hanging on a rail in the loft, so that has saved some money!

    Have achieved 8 large bags of books for Oxfam so far, so will take those tomorrow plus any more we sort out in the meantime. There is a big box of bric a brac too. Last time we went, their book manager told us we stock two of their shops almost single handedly. It's all going to a good cause and it's decluttering my planned book nook room so we are happy.

    Tonight's dinner is better planned than last night's freezer fiasco and it's salmon. I must buy a freezer pen today :o

    Well wishes for all sick people and pets and hugs for those who need or just want them. Keep warm and safe and have a super day :)
