Sorry not been about will try and make it as concise as possible. We were down in Aberdeen for D's Dad's 70th party (with a sneaky 40th cake for D). I was still organising the surprise party for D up here. We got back from that and then two days later we had word that my Aunt in Inverness had passed away. We organised to go down to the funeral and come back on Friday night's boat so we'd get back on Saturday. D was totally surprised when he walked in (I was DJing so that was my excuse for going early). I was so sure that he'd twigged but thankfully not. A good night was had by all and now it's getting back to a semblance of normal again.
Not been able to get to the supermarket so it's emergency frozen sausages and sausage casserole. Load of clothes being done and hoping that it keeps dry.

Hi All :wave:
Hope you are all well, I am back in this week for sure, & I need to get iron board set up in LR to tackle the ironing mountain. I tailed off near the end of the week. I was absolutely exhausted last night, so much so I had to have an hour after dinner then went to bed around 9 & slept until 6 this morning :eek:. Considering I usually have around 5 hours sleep a night that was a shock, think my body must have needed it & I was doing 4 weekly cookathon yesterday as well.

Medium sized mountain of sons uni washing done and on the line, hall decluttered of all his stuff, hoovered through and mopped floors, dinner bubbling away in the oven, one bathroom cleaned and sparkling, I'm holding off doing the other one as I m psyching myself up to bath the three muttleys - they hate the process but love the results, they parade around like hollywood starlets basking in the compliments from everyone0
