    I'm not doing too well this week, just don't seem to have had time or energy to do much after work. I did get up early this morning and do 30 mins exercise and then put a beef stew on in the slower cooker. But I now have from Tuesday to catch up with! Hope everyone else is having a good week.
    What time is dinner? :j

    Don't worry about yesterday's tasks, just do today's :beer:

    Morning all,
    Long time no speak! Too many pages to catch up with a whole week but hugs to those in need! Will get back to daily catch ups next week.

    House move went as well as these things can. Decided that L shaped sofas are evil after the trauma of getting it out of the flat and into the house! Been a very long three days but now have a mostly unpacked and settled house and tenants in the flat.
    Loving the house, having a dishwasher is AMAZING. Got my @ldi tabs and using it full to keep the mse ways. Washer and dryer being delivered this afternoon so the overflowing basket will be attacked, its a cold grey day here though with snow expected by the weekend so doubt I'll get anything outside.
    Ooooooh got all excited on Tuesday when investigating the garden, there's blackberries peeking through the fence from the school grounds, will be picking them for jam or something.

    Anyway, back to the thread, am away to have breakfast then make calls to finish changing my address, clean up the kitchen for the appliances arriving, look online for microwave and bits I need to pick up. House got lits of cleaning so will pick up proper flying on Monday.

    Happy Thursday all
