Hi all, had a lovely day off today from the paid stuff. Thought I'd keep it as a day off and spent the whole day in my pj's playing video games
Back to paid stuff tomorrow, I'll get home about 4ish, and start flying. There is a dentist on my way home, that is miles closer than my current dentist, so I'm going to pop in and see if they are taking on any new nhs patients.

Morning all. I didn't get a chance to post yesterday but I am in again. Yesterday I managed all jobs on the list apart from the floors. Downstairs got hoovered but mopping was neglected again, I just ran out of time.
This morning I'm going to give the LR a quick clean as it looks like it could do with it, and will see what kitchen jobs I can do later after the paid stuff.
Have a great day everyone.Spend less now, work less later.0 -

Not much GUAG in our house this morning
The girls dad came over yesterday, dug us a hole. Marmite is now in the garden with my new hydrangea.
House feels empty and the other cats are uneasy
I have W.W this morning and DD2 has the dentist at lunch time so I'll see what I can get done this afternoon.
