Morning all

I'm working all day today so will wait until this evening to see what's left on the lists. So far I've loaded the DW, breakfast, morning daily-type-things.

Hugs all round xx

I've got a quote pinned in my office which says "either find a solution to your problem or stop considering it a problem" but I think you're well entitled to a whimper as I'm sure you would rather be in your new nest sooner than later. hope things improve.

Thanks for your kind words! I'm lucky that I'm a glass half full kind of person, so an afternoon of sulking and crying is a rarity for me! Anyway, it has spurred me on to getting the baby's things organised. This is probably the only time I'm going to enjoy washing his clothes, so I'm making the most of it . Thanks!

Morning all,
love todays list, very touching and since the BF is doing a 'homer' tonight I'll actually get peace to do the extra challenge!

Shall pick up some of the bits missed from yesterday as well. Full list can follow after work when I'll actually be able to do some of it.

Have a good day all
