            Morning all
 just catching up with the thread and going to shower shortly. Washing is on the line.
 Young cat was way too interested in my little stack of lawn edging thingies - so investigated fully expecting to find a tiny furry - and I did. Uninjured...cat grabbed and shoved indoors and stack moved until mouse decided to run off. sharpish.
 (I am expected to rescue all wildlife, other than invertebrates, from all felines, apparently)
 Had another excellent night's sleep. Cough now all but gone.
 Dancemum (((hugs))) hope effective strategies are put in place ASAP for you all!
 DD is at work later, but I will *have* to go out earlier than that as we're almost out of milk.Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily Dickinson Janice 1964-2016 Janice 1964-2016

            Good morning everyone. So far today has been busy and productive but I am struggling due to being tired, dd was up during the night although DH got up with her I was still awake. DD is still asleep so will need to get her up in a bit unless she awakes herself.
 So far today I have decluttered DH to work with a packed lunch, and ds to school with his lunch, checked Avon order, made a start on organising my new work diary, first load in the wm, bed is stripped.
 I think I need to take today in small steps otherwise I will sit on the sofa and do nothing. I'm going to have a small break and then do HHC between 10:30-11 during which I will:
 Dust & deweb the master bedroom
 Sort through 1 bag of paperwork
 Check the airer and move to the ironing pile
 Hang washing up indoors (dull today) and put another load in wm
 Hoover the master bedroom
 Sort ds's football gear for tonight
 Dry the rest of the dishes from last night
 I will be back at 11 to update my list and catch up with everyone else0

 On that subject ..... LW - I must send you piccies of the (not-so) new boys

 Lasagne and blackberry'n'apple crumble have been constructed, I need to put the oven on in a few minutes to cook them.
 Mr LW is on early shift and wfh today - so GP surgery to collect scripts, then on into town thius afternoon. Also hoping to go and see the Star Trek movie, as we didn't get around to it the other week. I think there's a showing at 20:10 tonight, which will get us out of the cinema in time for a swift pint at 'Spoons - as CAMRA members, we have some 50p off vouchers to use there.:money:;)If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)0
