    Well I'm not far from Yorkie Towers so suffice to say that by the time I got home from shopping the garden was too wet for cutting. I didn't buy the plants either, not much point today. Anyway, hoovering done, lunch munched, paper read, piano practice done and I'm now going to walk the dogs again.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Ironing all done board put past and iron on the shelf in the utility room where it should be, it hasn't been there for ages because of the ironing piles! Winterdyke collapsed and put past for the first time in ages, I'm well pleased about that.
    I stuck all the cushion covers in the WM and now they are in the TD.
    DD back from dancing, DS2 away out with his pals, I'm having a coffee then I might get some knitting done or I may just have a wee nap on the sofa!
